I'm cooking two different curries (with the aim of freezing the majority of it down) - a curry made from a leg of lamb which is currently cooking low and slow and my favourite curry of chicken and prawn. We have keema rice and lentil dhal as well so it will be something akin to thali on the menu tonight.

Haven't decided yet.  It might be pizza with cajun prawn or  tadka dal with a nice tempered kashmiri chilli on the top.  Having duck tomorrow - I just stuff it and shove it in the oven like a chicken.  There's a lot of fat on duck so it would be hard to dry it out - I just do 180 fan.  A bit of orange juice or grand marnier in the gravy is nice.

Thanks, 237.  I'll probably cook it next weekend as I think OH wants Wagyu burgers tomorrow and I'm not fussed about an Easter Sunday dinner as we had a leg of lamb dinner at the in-laws' house yesterday.  Tadka daal with kashmiri chilli sounds delicious.

I`ve been making dal for ages but I had some with the chilli on in Goa recently and it was gorgeous. They temper it in oil and garlic and tip it on top.  I have powedered kashmiri chilli but it's not the same so I got hold of a bag of dried ones and have managed to get the seeds to germinate.  Will see how they get on.  Re the duck - you`ll get a nice lot of fat off it for roast potatoes which will keep in the fridge.

I remember my late nan cooking a duck once and we poured the entire juices from the tray over the potatoes which were already roasting in the oven and they were the best roasties I've ever tasted. 

Fishcakes (fish pie mix) cheese sauce, and mixed veg,  tomorrow slow cooked boned lamb shoulder, with roasties, sprouts, carrots and cauliflower.  And probably  Apple pie and cream.  Hardly seems worth it for one but the left over lamb will end up in the balti  pan, 

ginsters cornish pasty,mashed potatoes and carrot and swede mash, washed down with a bottle of tribute real ale.

 I am cooking some sausages and having potatoes and carrots, and jelly and cream for afters.

chicken n chips...with beers and tunes to follow...

Mushroom stuffed pasta with a spicy tomato sauce and a bowl of lettuce & toms..

LadyCG - goose fat is good as well - wonderful roasties.  My daughter  makes wonderful roasties and finally let me into the secret.  The spuds should be dry and very cold (fridge cold)  when they are are added to smoking, spitting fat.  They really are good.

Sorry to those whom I missed yesterday.  It sounds like you all had some very enjoyable fayre.

We managed to make many portions of curry - enough for about four or five decent "takeaways" which was the aim really given how exhorbitantly priced they now are.  OH always says he doesn't know how he's going to manage to fit it all in the freezer but he does 😃
