That looks amazing. It can't possibly win my vote in a curry competition, as I don't believe it would leave me wretched and sweaty for at least 24 hours afterwards.

But I'd vote for it in a different category. 'Flash Fish' or something. Nice one.

Well the cooking competitions were always about setting a theme/ingredient rather than prescribing a specific dish to cook so I went a bit left field because I expected the thread to be flooded with pictures of vats of molten brown bottom-melter laugh Don't be fooled with mine though, it was plenty hot enough (for me anyway). The nice thing was that the mango balanced the curry and the chillies, and it wasn't so 'blow your head off' hot that you couldn't taste the fish.

One consideration for me thinking about the topic of "curry" was whether to go traditional or modern. Still not decided.

But... anyone see Cyrus Todiwala making samosas on TV last night? Revelation! So quick and simple compared to the way most people show you/do it/teach you at catering college!

It's only a year old too frown £100 worth of Le Creuset's finest apparently doesn't like finishing dishes off under the grill and the rim has started to delaminate. Oops.
I have just sent one back to Le Creuset as the non stick lasted less than a year. Should know the outcome in the next week or so but loads of complaints on Amazon about them.

This weekends effort is a ground but curry think korma but a sauce based on peanuts and coconut milk with a couple of dried birds eye chillies.

I made this a couple of weeks ago, it went down well and was requested again by the OH just at the right time for the curry competition.

Tandoori shoulder of lamb with a bhuna gost sauce served with Bombay potatoes.

Cheers everyone thumbup

Purps; the lamb (Tandoori paste) and the bhuna are based on British Indian Restaurants (BIR) recipes, good website and E-books if you like British Indian style curries.

The lamb was cooked at the ovens hottest setting positioned on skewers so it didn't touch the tray.

Send it back to them. Don't admit the grilling. They'll replace it. I did after 7 years of abuse and got it changed with no quibbles.

Agreed. This is all right up my street. I hope to field an entrant this week, but it won't win, show or place.
