Mummy! Look what I made!! (The Urban 75 food gloating thread)

[FabricLiveBaby!]

I love cooking. So do a lot of people. But as much as I hear about people making amazing stuff I never see any PICTURES!

So this is a thread for us to gloat about out kitchen successes.

WE WANT FOOD PORN. So the more photos, the better!

And today I'm very proud.

Mummy, Look what I made!

It's a chicken escalope, stuffed with parsley and garlic goat's cheese, with balsamic and rosemary roasted beetroot and creamed leeks.

Fancy middleclass kebab

You also have seriously bad plate taste.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Quite the charmer aren't you? In Poland we don't have a developed class system. Chicken is the cheapest food you can get. As is beetroot. A kebab costs 3 times as much to make as this entire dish.

So your description means nothing here. LOL!

You'll be pleased to know they're not my plates - they came with the flat! They're horrendous aren't they? I hate them too.

 

[susie12]

That beetroot looks lovely.

 

[spanglechick]

looks gorgeous like you wouldn't believe.

 

[Boppity]

I was with you till i saw Goat's 'cheese'.

 

[bi0boy]

For a moment I was wondering what you made those hearts with...

 

[pigtails]

*drool*

I'm having a fish finger sandwich so won't put a pic up today!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I would soooo eat that, it sounds and looks lovely

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

I can't wait to see some of Miss Fran's stuff appear on this thread!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

That looks lovely. I'd eat that.

The beetroot would go straight in the bin though

[TruXta]

Awesome curry

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Awesome curry

That doesn't really tell us a lot

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

It's AWESOME orange!

What's in there? Chicken by the looks of it.

Looks like a proper BIR curry.

I do miss a good curry over here! Curries in Krakow are a bit meh, but THAT looks nice. I'd eat it. And I'm full!

The wok also looks well loved. Which gives me tons of confidence!

 

[thriller]

looks tasty to me, though.

true enough.I'd eat it

It was supposed to be a chicken balti, but I confused the curry powder with the garram massala hence the colour.
Was a bit hotter than expected, but full of flavours.
It consisted of...

3 cloves
6 x 1 inch pieces of cassia bark
3 - 4 pieces of mace
3 - 4 green cardamom pods
2 star anise
3 bay leaves, dried
1 kg onion, roughly chopped
1 tbsp salt
1050 ml cold water
1/2 green and 1/2 red pepper, chopped
125g fresh carrot, roughly chopped
30g peeled fresh garlic (about 3 - 4 cloves)
30g peeled fresh ginger
2 1/4 tsp chilli powder
1 3/4 tsp coriander powder
3/4 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp tumeric powder
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1 3/4 tsp dried fenugreek leaf (Methi) finely chopped
3/4 tsp garam masala powder
Tin of Tomatoes
Chicken Fillets
etc....

definately got the sweet BIR flavours

That's more like it

 

[bi0boy]

1 tbsp salt

Do you mean teaspoon?

 

[Addy]

yeah, in the base sauce.... 1 tablespoon
The base sauce makes up about 15+ portions as you water it down and use 1-2 ladles per curry.

In my attached tika recipe you see I use 1-2 whole bulbs of garlic in the base which stinks the street out for 2 days, but the flavour is very subtle in the final dish.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

OMG you actually have a base sauce?

Respect man.

My base sauce always turns out like crap.

 

[Addy]

Seriously try my CTM recipe.
It's a huge hit with everyone who has tasted it. and you can use the base for other curries.
http://cr0.co.uk is a fantastic resource for recipies

my base...

Also some great explanations and tips here... http://www.curry2go-online.com/how-2-videos.html

This guy visits cr0.co.uk and gives out tips and answers questions..

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

I know the CR0 website. I tried a few of the base sauces from there before. Always turns out a bit horrible. I've decided that I just can't cook curries.

Thanks for this!

Might try again.

Pain in the arse getting coriander over here though! It costs about £1.50 for a tiny bunch.

 

[Addy]

We can always post stuff over and its easy to grow / freeze

I have 2 freezer bags full of (very cheap) chopped coriander in my fridge at the moment. When I got it home (to Poland) I realised it was so cheap because it had already bolted . Tastes really bitter; It'll do but the flavour isn't far off parsley unfortunately.

I'll grow it in the summer. Until then I've learned my mistake. TASTE YOUR HERBS FIRST PEOPLE!
