Just trawled the forum using the search engine to look for a Lamb Curry recipe and came across this link provided originally by @darrellm

Scores of recipes on there to keep me going for ages. I went for the Lamb Bhuna. Simple and not overloaded with tomato like many curry recipes. Thats me quite busy later on.
But I did make up the Mary Berry Lamb Dhansak a couple of weeks back and can recommend it, although again I reduced the tomatoes by about a third.

It didn't work for me.... worse beer I ever made with chillies.
What did you do and what didn't you like? I'm formulating a chicken vindaloo lager as we speak. Found an old recipe for cock ale that looks promising.
Edit. Here it is.
Take ten gallons of ale, and a large cock, the older the better; parboil the cock, flay him, and stamp him in a stone mortar till his bones are broken (you must craw and gut him when you flay him); then put the cock into two quarts of sack, and put it to three pounds of raisins of the sun stoned, some blades of mace, and a few cloves; put all these into a canvas bag, and a little before you find the ale has done working.
put the ale and bag together into a vessel; in a week or nine days time bottle it up; fill the bottle but just above the neck, and give the same time to ripen as other ale.[3]

Now all we need is a bouquet garni from the Star of India.

That sounds utterly, utterly, disgusting. But I am strangely intrigued..... Do it, do it, do it!
 
What is two quarts of sack? I understand the rest I think.

Thanks for the tip about the Maysan paste. Has made standard curry a lot quicker and better.

I see my moment of folly means I've got to put my money where my mouth is. Right, we're on, but I'm certainly not going to do a ten-gallon batch. Not to start with, anyway.
Now, where's that budgie scarpered to?
