Im glad you posted that I was going to ask did anyone know how to make it?:rotfl: is it the lighter coloured one or the dark gravy?

its the dark gravy and it is absolutely gorgeous! btw I assumed the brown gravy powder was Bisto........and made it up according to the recipe! it isnt! mine was so thick at first I had to add nearly half a pint more water! and it went lumpy! second attempt - a quarter of the amount of Bisto (I bought a big pack and wasnt wasting it!) and it was much better! a little thicker than my local chinese takeaway bit still acceptable and very tasty!

I think Ill have to try that some time this week then:D

I made the hinied BBQ wings last night for tea I couldnt find the tabasco in my cupboard and I didnt have dijon mustard so I used a pinch a cayenne and the yellow mustard instead:rotfl:they where really nice and sticky:D
I made the sauce to the recipe for 6 wings but I had enough for about 18 wings easily

Morning all

I got the book for my birthday - yay!
I cooked up a big batch of the basic curry sauce yesterday afternoon, and was a bit surprised at how bland it tasted - but it all made sense when I used some to make the Korma recipe! I did make one mistake - when doubling the recipe, I forgot to add twice the amount of the sugar and coconut powder (the recipe asks for 3-4 tablespoons/6-8 when doubled, and I only put in 3) but when I tasted it I was so glad I had. I think the recipe would have been almost sickly sweet if I'd put 8tbsp in! I would definitely advise people to add slowly and taste it as you go, rather than adding it all in one go

Tonight it's doner kebabs, and I'm hungry just thinking about it... Mmmmmmmm kebaaaab....

Just made the cookies and they are amazing, didn`t chill the dough just put balls on the sheet and they thinned out in the oven.

Oh. My. God. I just had to try out the chicken doner kabob recipe (I was getting jealous at everyone loving the lamb one - I hate lamb!) and all I can say is FLIPPEN 'ECK IT'S RUDDY GOOD! I marinated it this am with left over chicken from Sunday's roast, made it with some salad in a pitta with the white kabob sauce....heaven on a plate! THIS RECIPE IS A KEEPER!!!!

tonight we had the Lamb Shish Kebab

well i say we had it - but i changed the lamb for chicken, and used tortillas rather than pittas, and added fried onions and peppers, rather than salad, but you get what i mean lol

nice mild marinade, with lots of different flavours going on

tasted great, will def make again

I did the Lamb doner with pitta salad, red and white kebab sauce and pitta bread, delicious! I did make the pitta bread, but they turned into great big bread rolls so OH had to dash to the shops to buy some
