lol no choc in me mate

Most of my Curry recipes have been gained in exotic parts of the world, I have bribed,cajoled,pleaded and begged, charmed and bribed, and did I mention "bribed".... cooks that have wowed me with their dishes.
I won't be giving any of those up, I harbour a dream of one day being wealthy enough to risk having a restaurant...

Here is a nice Lamb Tikka recipe.
Trim fat from 900 gms of lean lamb cubes
Place in NON metallic bowl
Peel and finely slice 1 onion, 2 garlic, 7.5 cm ginger root, add to lamb
Also add 1 tsp: cumin/turmeric/chilli flakes<-- (or much more to taste.)
2 TBS chopped coriander plus whole root crushed with flat of knife,4 tbs natural yoghurt and stir through meat.Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Sauce:
Put 1 tsp of REAL Saffron into 2 Tbsp of warm water and leave soaking.
Put 25g of blanched almonds and same pistachio nuts into blender and zap till fine, pour in 100 mls of double cream and blend till smooth.
Heat 1 Tbs of Ghee in heavy pot, fry nut mixture add saffron and 100 mls more double cream3 cardomom pods, and salt to taste. Boil, then simmer gently stirring for 4 minutes and remove from heat and stir in 150 mls of yoghurt, refrigerate overnight.
Preheat BBQ or grill and skewer lamb onto sticks and grill for 15 -25 minutes till browned all over, basting with oil or ghee. Sprinkle with garam masala and lemon juice when finished.
Gently reheat sauce, serve with naan or roti or rice!
Don't be surprised if the neighbours drop in on some pretext.

I forgot to say, remember to soak the skewers in water if they are made of wood.

sounds great i think i will amke that on friday night, 1 question what is ghee?, cardomom pods and garam masala, everything else i can get from coles!

Coles probably has ghee too.
It is in a green can, it is clarified butter and important for success.
You cannot use normal butter as it will burn and turn nasty.
Good luck!
If you can't find ghee you will have to use oil.

One more sleep till dirtydawg does the Lamb Tikka thing...
