Having just watched a few weeks of the programme where all the top Chefs in the UK compete against one another for the honour to cook a Banquet meal for HM the Queen at the Mansion House. I have just come to the conclusion that all the Chefs on board the Yot did that almost everyday of the week when HM was on board. No faffing around like some prize Peacock. Just good quality scran. They made such a song and dance about it I almost fell off me perch.

I like the programme but am very confused how Tandoori Chicken is British!
I have to agree about the Jack chefs, they did a sterling job and still work their backsides off all th etime. A thanksless job. When it goes right , not a word; when it goes wrong every man and his dog drips. Pusser's chefs are bloody good and work very hard but without all the glamour of the TV Chefs (Television, not ladyboy!).

here we are it comes from S asia
Tandoori Chicken is a chicken dish dating back to the time of the Mughal Empire in Central and Southern Asia, it is still popular throughout that area. The chicken is marinated in a yogurt seasoned with garam masala - garlic, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, and other spices depending on the recipe. It is traditionally quite hot. Cayenne, red chili powder, or other spices give it its red color. Turmeric produces a yellow-orange color. In some modern versions red and yellow food coloring is used instead. It is traditionally cooked at high temperatures in an earthen oven (i.e. tandoor), but can also be prepared on a traditional grill.
So dont let antone say diffrent

I always thought it came from a restaurant in Shepherds Bush West London. They always served it when me and 'er indoors ate there back in the mid eighties Anyway. Who gives a monkeys where it originated. It all tastes the same after a few wets plus several.

I have to say I couldn't work out the "British" theme with that one Deli. The rules did state British theme...
As a matter of interest (or maybe not) a recent poll carried out (pun) revealed that Chicken Tikka Massala was the biggest selling take-away in Jockland, even higher than deep fried Mars Bars..
And we don't have a high percentage of Asian population up here...
It's too bloody cold for our Indian friends I think... |
