Tried a Butter Chicken yet? I think my best dish is my chicken Madras, not tried butter chicken, so many curries so little time lol I've worked my way through most of the menu at my local restaurant but don't go hotter than Madras, Vindaloo is just a tad too hot for me. I'm looking forward to be able to go back in the kitchen there with Amin the owner and his chef Mr Ali, it's a joy to watch them cook, it looks so simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Thought I'd bump this and throw in my latest attempt, chicken Madras with Pilau rice. Got myself an aluminium pan recently, which does seem to make a difference to the curry. Tried to make a more colourful pilau rice, like my local takeaway does, but may have overdone it with the green food colouring! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 Think your right on a tad too much colour in the rice, the madras looks great, how did it taste ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I'll do much less colouring in the rice next time, normally just boil the rice with spices and turmeric in the water, fried it first with garlic and ginger and then boiled it down/ steamed it which was much better. The Madras was very nice, possibly a little too much Chilli thrown though in but still managed it. Made the wife a butter chicken as it would have blown her head off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who's page/group it is wont allow other peoples curries etc to be discussed as its his business. I kind of get it but he puts videos etc on facebook that are foc to watch so don't get why i cant ask if anyone uses pre made tikka marinade, my problem is the moderation on there now so I've left. Plenty of other places to get info Edited June 8, 2022 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) A totally spur of the moment snack yesterday. The Scallops were from Tesco's and quite small but were decent quality. They work well with Black pudding. My own sauce worked better than expected, 1 frying pan, black pudding lightly fried in olive oil and remove from pan, then fry the scallops, once turned I sprinkle black pepper, salt and chilli flakes, remove from the pan once you get both sides seared, add a splash more olive oil to the pan with a decent knob of butter, once the butters melted add 4-5 chopped cloves of fresh garlic and lightly fry, then add 1/4 of a cup of white wine, reduce and use a flat spatula to move round the pan, then add lemon juice and simmer, no 7 on my electric hob, then add the scallops back to the pan and cover using the spatula Throw onto a plate and enjoy Going to buy some Canadian Scallops from Sainsbury's which look a lot larger To give an idea of size the back pudding is approx 50mm diameter Edited August 12, 2023 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
