Pilau Rice Group Test
« on: October 19, 2011, 09:25 PM »
Hi Guys,

Just thought i'd propose a pilau group test, as , above all, this is one dish 95% of people will have with a curry, so its highly important to get right, like roast spuds with a sunday roast!

Its relativley easy, cheap, and not too time consuming, and any newbie would appreciate the results IMO.

I would be happy to participate if its agreed.

Matt

I'd be happy to take part, but since I've only ever cooked pilau once before, I'm not sure my expertise is at a level where I should be passing judgement on people's recipes.

I'd be happy to participate in this.  May be time to start suggesting what recipes we use keeping it to about 5 recipes?

Yep, I'm up for this one as well. I think it would be a good idea to get the 'CTM group test' done and dusted before moving onto this though (hopefully it's nearly there).

I think we could at least put the contenders together.  My 1st choice is CA's pilau recipe

We did say a while back that when we do these group tests it would be good to see how a 'published' recipe was thrown into the mix so, If everyone is in agreement, I would like to put forward Kris Dhillon's pilau rice recipe from The New Curry Secret.

I will put the recipe on here later tonight, just off to watch England get brought back down to earth by Sweden :'(

This was a post about group testing pilau rice recipes, not base sauce.  Unfortunately, it didn't get off the ground  :(
