    Pataks Madras chicken curry on a Sunday night using the leftover chicken from the Sunday roast was the norm in our house back then.

    The competition can include all curry from around the world, not just India or Bradford

    How about some Thai Green/red/yellow curry....












    I'll stop now, this thread is making me damn hungry

    ^props to you for being a good sport, Joe.

    But I still don't like your pack of sauce & canned boiled potatoes. I think that's cheating. But you're a single dad, so you've got an excuse. Keep on trucking (biking) on!

    Curry paste, I agree.

    curry sauce in a jar, not the same.

    shall we allow microwaved packaged curries too?

    a take away curry?

    A lazy one that certainly isn't for purists.



    5 spices and un-toasted cumin.


    Chicken breasts, crushed tomatoes, chickpeas and coconut milk.





    A fine, tasty post-gym hit of protein.

    Cooking up a pot of curry for the crew of The Admiral Graf Spee which has just hoved into harbour today (they have not eaten since December 1939)

    The Teakdoor Curry Club thread-img_20210316_222044-jpg


    That orangey hue can mean only one thing...

    Yes it is the lushest curry of them all, the tandoori.

    Yes you have to be patient with the brown basmati.

    It is no good when undercooked.

    First slops and enough for 9 more days

    The Teakdoor Curry Club thread-img_20210316_222723-jpg


    Anyway my recipe to qualify for the curry off battle is

    2 large onions roughly chopped
    1 bulb garlic roughly chopped
    Fry until onion starts to brown
    Add 400g of chopped chicken breast and fry a bit
    Add 1 jar Tandoori paste (pataks or sharwoods) and fry a bit
    Add 2 tins chopped tomatoes
    Add 500ml of thickened cream
    Add 7 splashes of fit sot
    Add 2 table spoons of syrup (or just sugar)
    Add some garam masala, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, turmeric
    Add a tin of kidney beans
    sprinkle a heaped tablespoon of flour and mix it in for thickener

    Boil 500g dry weight of brown basmati

    Serves 10 adults

    I would like to nominate my Jupiter photo for the poll thread

    I was met with a disbeleiving "Let's google that when we get home Papaa"


    The downside is she's probably scared off kidney beans for life.


    Damn tasty looking curry, Loops.


    Edit: Still had this open in a tab from yesterday, actually thought of Looper when reading.

    Discovering WW1 tunnel of death hidden in France for a century - BBC News


    WWI tunnel that was sealed off with an unusually well placed bomb, sealed off hundreds of WWI Germans to await their slow death, in their living quarters, with their insignia, medals, photos and letters, and had rested untouched ever since.

    I did wonder why the raw ones were so much cheaper. Clicked on the way to the car.


    Risking killing everyone in the house probably isn't worth the 50 baht saving.

    ^^^Fascinating stuff Lu and I will read up on that. Maybe Mark Felton has a yootoob

    Just to clarify on my cooking instructions: Don't add syrup/sugar if you are making korma. Instead add 1 chopped chilli + 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar.

    And a follow-up on the serving instructions for the subsequent 9 portions of curry:-

    Each portion consists of 3 tablespoons of curry. The cold curry is very viscous so each table spoon is about the size of a small woman's fist.

    To this is added a piece of red capsicum roughly chopped.

    Spread some rice on a plate and clingwrap and microwave for 2 minutes while the curry is heating.

    The Teakdoor Curry Club thread-img_20210317_211230-jpg


    10 plates of curry for 40 minutes up front labour puts this comfortably into blokes' cooking territory

    The Teakdoor Curry Club thread-img_20210317_212009-jpg


    The sharp-eyed viewer will note that a proper big-balled British-Bulldog bruiser battle-cruiser has hoved into view this evening in the form the HMS King George V and seen off the Fuhrer's puny pocket battleship so it is a proper British curry night tonight



    The KGV would go on to lead the battle group which sank the infamous battleship Bismarck in 1941, following a 3 day chase after the sinking of the mighty HMS Hood (with the participation of HMS Ark Royal for Fairey Swordfish torpedo support, upon which my great uncle served).

    Who cleans your stove top Looper... it's spotless.

    I'm fascinated by old naval battles but can't concentrate tonight.

    Anyway, last week my dear wife took a rare excursion away from the telly and around the house, during which she chanced upon the kitchen. I'm glad she did as while she stopped off she produced this lovely Japanese curry. I don't know the provenance but I'm pretty sure the chicken, carrots and potatoes were added fresh... and damn nice it was too.

    I didn't spend too much time on presentation cos I thought I was dreaming, so I just dumped some rice on top.

    That Japanese curry sauce is addictive. I can almost smell it just looking at the photae.

    ^^ Bogon Tip #953

    Add a handful of frozen garden peas to the rice when cooking.

    A damn fine looking curry Loops!

    I used your tip with the Apple Cider Vinegar to make this Madras/Vindaloo from scratch.

    Computers broken at the moment so there's a delay on the poll, more time to get your entries in esteemed TD curry club members.

    Outstanding contributions do far, keep them coming.

    Here's my entry, complete with home made onion bhaji and garlic nam bread..
