  1. Delicious! I made the full recipe using two large shanks so cooked for three hours which was so tender I ate mine using a fork. The excess curry (from just making two serves) was great served over mashed potato.
     
  2. Yummy Pat! I sprayed my pan with spray oil then browned my shanks, then cooked my onion in athe bit of fat that rendered out of them. I added a big spoon of garlic and after tasting my curry paste, used water instead of stock. We are salt lovers, but stock would have made the dish WAY too salty, so I suggest a quick sampling of the paste first. I love shanks and this one was an exceptionally good recipe for so very little effort.
     
  3. Fall off the bone tender and SO flavorful!! Will make again. Thanks.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
