Re: Good Curry Houses
They both sound alright to be fair, like some kind of junk food/curry mashup. As long as for the latter you mean a pizza made with naan bread as the base, not just a whole pizza stuffed inside a naan.

The former...
To be fair, the normal stuff, Jalfrezi, Madras etc were very good
Re: Good Curry Houses
I had a Thai curry last night
Very good.
Need to find somewhere that sells plantains so I can recreate that deep fried coconut batter plantain dessert and binge on it over the weekend.
Also does anyone know how to make nice grilled squid at home? I’m tried a few times and end up with something akin to a Pirelli P6000 tyre.

How about not having a sig at all?

Re: Good Curry Houses
Hmm perhaps I’ll try the 1 hour method as the 1 minute one was closer to sushi.
I reckon the restaurants I go to must cook it for an hour then deep fry or grill it just before serving

Was brought by friends to Chatkhara in Tooting SW London this evening.... Similar to the one above it's a place I wouldn't normally go into based on how it looks, but it was honestly the best curry that I've had in a couple of years and it worked out at £6.50 each!

Re: Good Curry Houses
Did the basic chicken curry yesterday. Took a while to do the sauce - man, that uses a lot of garlic! - but I now have 5 portions of it left for another day. Very nice curry - exactly as you'd get in a restaurant. Impressed. I made the naan as well, which came out better than I thought it would when I put it in the oven, as the dough was very sticky.

Re: Good Curry Houses
I'm in Aberdeen this week, anywhere offering a decent curry around there?
Re: Good Curry Houses
Oof that's looks cracking.
How long did it take ?
ETA I can see it now 1.5 hrs including prep. I'll have a crack tonight.

Re: Good Curry Houses
The sauce took nearly a couple of hours including all the chopping and blending, and I cooked the chicken at the same time as this. Then adding it all together took another 15 mins.
As I said, I have a few portions of the sauce left so using that it should be half an hour or so all in, once the sauce has defrosted.

Re: Good Curry Houses
Forgot a couple
Manchester City Centre - Rajdoot, This & That, and Dishoom as previously mentioned. This and That is brilliant, old school, simple curry. Menu varies daily, but always the same every week and there's only a few dishes on offer.
Sussex - Elmer Tandoori in Elmer. One of the best curry houses I've ever been to. Been a couple of times when staying in Elmer to do Goodwood, albeit a few years ago now. A couple we stay with even have friends that drive 45mins to Elmer to go to this place. It's also insanely cheap - as in you'll be sure they've missed several things off the bill. I had a lime chilli chicken or something the 1st time I visited, which was amazing. 2nd time it wasn't on the menu but when I asked they cooked it for me anyway 8). Don't expect a fine interior or matching cutlery, but that's part of the charm.

Doner Haus is amazing.McSwede wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 12:54 am Just had chips and curry at Pizza Corolla in Weegieland and they were bloody lovely. The lady fires salt on like a cardiac assassin though!
Also witnessed deep fried battered pizza for the first time. WTAF??? It's like committing slow suicide
Went to Döner Haus again earlier (pre being pissed) and it was great. Curry wurst and chicken shawarma, washed down with Bitburger. Yummy!
So is a pizza crunch, one of the only things I miss since I stopped eating dairy .
An absolute unit

Likewise - do the sauce in bulk and then portion up for the freezer.
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Re: Good Curry Houses
Same as Jon's basic curry, absolutely fabulous.
Genuinely as good as my local takeaway for a similar dish but it's a lot of work which ended up being over 2 evenings.
