OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today?

I'd like this system they have in 'UFO', take a lot of the hassle out of the whole cooking business:

Presumably the 'Russian Meal' is just a choice of four different types of vodka.

French? Italian? You're out of luck, sorry.

Lol... I remember that. Would be my idea of HELL, though!

I guess one man (or woman's) 'hassle', is another's therapeutic pleasure...;)

So Yes, it was moist, but that was about all there was going for it! :lol: the shop bought naans were ok though! You live and you learn...

Lol - what are you like? Chicken tikka massala after a bad car accident!:D

I'm sure it was tasty enough, but I'd give it up as a bad job, as Granty's is in a different league, daftee...

Berni-Inn boys just weren't born to make curry!:lol:

No, it was disgusting! I think I’ll just get it takeaway next time!

Lol... Nah, I'd persevere and try and get it right. I suspect you're probably rushing things a little. The *key* to making an authentic curry is to spend time preparing and making the BASE, and where all the herbs and spices are beautifully infused and blended together.

Only if you get that right, are the final results going to be any good. Think of like painting a wall without cleaning and sanding it first... It's all about the FOUNDATION!;)

coconut cream is better than other creams too for it. might be making one myself later

Indeed - you really shouldn't be using anything else in Asian cuisine.

Found some cooked chicken in freezer so a Tikka Masala it was.
Rice was ex long basmati cooked in rice cooker.
