I'm making up a load of Chicken Tikka tomorrow, question is, can I freeze what is left of the marinade (that has had the meat in it) to use to make the curry with at a later date (fine with freezing the chicken as I will cook it before freezing anyway).

After looking through everyones posts and how much you have all loved it I have gone and brought my book from Amazon as me and Hubby really want a Take away on Pay day but being OS i dont want to pay the price so thought this would be cheaper?

hi sb :hello:

from what I've seen on the Amazon descriptions, that one seems to be a selection of recipes from the original book

I made a batch of the basic curry this morning and have turned 1/4 of it into a Korma that is exactly like our local Indian Takeaway

The only issue I had was with the Ginger and Garlic paste and the Powdered coconut, however, Tesco stock a Chinese 5 spice, Ginger and Garlic Pase and Pataks Coconut 'blocks' so I used those.
To make the Korma I found using a single block of the coconut is best as its not massively sweet. Hope this helps

Well I saw the kindle offer a week or so ago and downloaded it... then came across you lot wittering on for over a year?? :T I have ploughed my way through each and every post !! I am pleased to say I tried the doner meat last week and again tonight.. it's gorgeous, we all love it.. we have it with the pitta salad and red/white sauces and the spiced onions (which will go lovely on popadums the next time we have them).

Today I tried the banana muffins which are nice but didn't rise too good, still tasty tho!

Did the chicken balls in sweet and sour sauce last Thursday and we all loved it.

Pitta breads were a bit of a disaster, came out all puffed up and the wrong shapes.. someone said I should have pricked them with a fork first?

Tonight I have got the naan bread mix waiting to be cooked when OH get's home but I don't hold out much hope, I am hopeless with bread! also, I was suprised to see he didn't state to use warm milk in the mix?? he just said milk?? .

Anyway, I love the book and 3 of my friends have also ordered it and made the doners.:T:T

great news about a 2nd book coming out:T
although american pallates are very different to ours
and getting ingredients can be expensive
i have been trying out a lot of recipes from the deep south recently
very calorific!:D

i gave the takeaway secret to a friend for christmas, in a wok, with ingredients and a chefs apron and hat, he loved it!
