Defrosted my final Glebe jalfrezi, prepped some more rice AndyA700 style and it stuck to the pan. Problem is I’m doing rice for 1, so it’s a lot of effort and not enough volume! Regardless it’s much better than plain rice. So I’ll keep trying different things.

Looks pretty good to me.

Thanks chum, it was. But feel I’m not getting the rice as Andy expects it.

With a bit of onion and spices through its enjoyable on its own now at least!

Looks good!

I make my pilau in batches and freeze it… 6 portions at a time.

What’s the rice recipe? Is it up on this thread somewhere?

There is absolutely no need for rice to be bland. I use good basmati rice, rinsed three times. Then I finely slice half a red onion, plus two segments of a red pepper, again finely sliced. I heat these with a little oil, 1 Tsp of biryani masala spices, 1 Tsp of onion and mustard seeds. The mixture has to be cooked until the inoins are soft and start to caramelise. The rice is heated in a saucepan, three cups of water to one and a half cups of rice. Cook until al dente. Drain the rice, put the empty saucepan on the hob and add 25mg of butter. When it has melted add a little rice to the bottom, then combine the onion and pepper mixture to the rice and add to the saucepan. Cook on a medium/high heat for 20 minutes.
Take off the hob, place the bottom of the saucepan in cold water, then turn out the rice onto a plate, so that what was on the bottom of the pan is now revealed as a crispy topping.

If that is a first attempt, it looks pretty good to me. I think it took me a while to get the rice to release from the pan correctly amd as you say, cooking for one may be the reason. We normally cook enough for four good portions.

I've not gone back to find my biryani post(s) but do ensure you make the Glebe biryani. It is bloody awesome, and fool proof.

It's fresh on my mind as I'm cracking one out tonight for the in-laws. A biryani that is biggrin.

Keep up the good curry work all beer

They’ll be gone in no time! Trying a Keema Matar today unless the beers during the derby get the better of me and I have a kebab!

A lot of the other recipes on the Glebe website are worth trying as well.

I think your curry-to-rice ratio is a little off there chum.

I did the achari on Friday, I think it's my favourite. Ceylon was hard to beat though
