old'un Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Now that looks nice and the photography is a lot better than your Beef Stroganoff, mind you it would be hard to make that look nice. So what culinary delight have we got planned for the weekend? Have you tried the Kung-Po yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you tandoori it yourself or was it pre done i buy a premixed tandorri off the net....it is rough ground ....not a powder....there are no colour additives in it ....the pinky red is a type of chili/capsicun when powdered produces a vibrant colour.....when you spread the mix on a piece of white paper ...you can actually spot the different herbs and spices...

It's good. I have several "Old India" products and all have been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, (if I may be so bold) I thought your mix a little vibrant. So checked their ingredient mix. Apparently it does indeed contain colour mix E129 Allura Red and E102 Lemon Yellow Azo dye. It seems voluntarily E129 is seldom used in UK due to suggested link between Allura Red and hyperactivity in children. So, maybe mixed outside UK.

Gameking Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Simon Many thanks, I have used Schwartz ready mix in the past and the results were edible but ordinary. I will order some of that Old India .(Cor , sounds like the days of the Raj 🤣) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will order some of that Old India .(Cor , sounds like the days of the Raj 🤣) The only problem with the "Old India" stuff is that often the quantities are HUGE. Looking back to see what I had ordered to confirm it was "Old India" brand I have, I see that it was 3/4 of a Kg when I ordered in 2020. I have probably used about half to date, and even in airtight jars in a cool dark larder I doubt it will be as good now as when I got it.

Gameking Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 John Crikey, on reading your post I did not notice the 1kg quantity in Simon's link , would last an Indian takeaway a year or two I bet 🙄 and spices do degrade over time. A re think maybe or group buy - PW Tandoori club 🤣😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A re think maybe or group buy - PW Tandoori club 🤣😂 In fact, checking back it was 750g (changed post above), but still a lot - but change from £10 and it does last pretty well. My tandoori chicken recipe uses 4 tablespoons each time, so a small supermarket jar goes nowhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted May 12 Author Report Share Posted May 12 im about half way thro mine and its nearly 2 years old and has not lost any of its taste............what i will say is this mix has very little hot chili in it....so its ideal for wives and girl friends....i always add a fair bit of chili to mine and when mixing it with greek natural yogurt and fresh lemon juice i add a fair bit of powder mix more than surgested try it with grated lemon zest as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
