Thanks for the head's up on Al's YT channel, it looks good, I've just started watching so will give some of the receipts a go this coming week
that Sophie alsop bowl is a bit gay but let us know how it goes not made anything yet with the gravy I made - what’s the best one you’ve done ?
Ssshhhhh, Sophie is still here after dropping it off for me. She'll hear you and she's not someone you want to get angry.
Butter Chicken tonight. Chicken Tikka cooked 1st. Was tremendous and it took all my will power not to start scoffing it by itself. Then the Butter Chicken itself was very tasty. Very mild along the lines of a Korma, but I knew what to expect having had it before. Al reckons the recipe makes enough for 2, but I would say 3, there was loads of it. What to go for next week?
Last night I tried a Pilau Rice from my Misty Ricardo book. He calls it Special Fried Rice, but it's a very tasty vegetable pilau. Thoroughly recommended. Called in to Punjabi food store on my way into the city centre today to pick up some supplies. He must have recognised my curry making prowess as when I left with my purchases, he said "Have a good day, brother" The spice inventory is building up.
Tha lad at work who started me off said it reminded him of "Eyes Wide Shut" when I showed him. I've never seen the film but think it's probably an OCD reference. He says his cupboards are full of different shape jars, cans, open packets etc. I didn't sleep much that night.
Why did you have to mention methi ? I'm doing curries tonight , and one is going to be potato ..... and now I must have methi ...... at 3.50 on a Sunday afternoon !! .... Doh !
Methi pretty much goes into all the curries I make, but I've never had Chicken Methi. My sister told me she sometimes orders it and I just had some time last night after a busy week to make one. It was an easy one to knock up.
I finally got around to making the BIR sauce about a week ago and then Al’s king prawn masala the other day. SWMBO knocked up a dahl to go with it and we both agreed it was the best curry we’d ever made at home. The man’s recipes work. Highly recommended and thanks for the heads up @Robarano
Guilty as charged I have several but get them from their outlet at Portsmouth - my guilty pleasure lol
I have to a I also have to admit my only cooking source apart from a barely used microwave & a Ikea portable induction hob is an Aga oh and a bbq if we have a heatwave
The bottom shelf is a bit messy, not really what I would have expected, you must make an effort sharpish!
