Well done, good work

Never realized quite how much sugar goes into a korma!

no, but i will try to get the last hours tonight
Title: Re: Maliks BIR Recordings
Post by: chowie on October 02, 2008, 04:14 PM
Yeah I find the Korma in video E interesting, because it looks easy with not to many items added. Looks like he;

Adds around 3 quarters of Chefs Spoon of sugar, I guess thats around 3 tbls
Adds approx 1 chefs spoon of coconut, again I'd go for 4 tbls
Adds a tsp/tbls of paste, Garlic or Ginger?
2/3 shakes of some sauce from a bottle? I wonder if this is Almond Extract?
Turns his back adds the meat and guessing from when he turns back cream/yogurt (maybe both) is added too, when he mixes there is liquid for that paste to form.
Adds 2 ladles of base, no spices from the top.
Simmers for 1 minute and adds another spoon full of coconut, again 3-4 tbls and stirs in
Simmers again for two minutes and done.

I think we can work on this above and come up with something, ideas?

Ah notice later he makes another, notice after the sauce (maybe Almond) he leaves on the heat for a minute while he collects more chicken, comes back and adds the paste and shakes the sauce in again? Also does not add the extra coconut this time...

More video from around 17.15, twenty minutes with what looks like the finishing touches to the base, Unclebuck maybe you can convert and add it to your video list.

Post by: Jeera on October 02, 2008, 07:11 PM
This is  agreat way to capture all this. Could we collaborate here and generate say 10 videos each with the key points to each process.

Base prep (day 1)
Base finish (day 2)
Final Dish #1
Final Dish 2
Rice making (seen tis last night)
etc
etc

We could then focus in on each video to try to estblish quantities/timing/ingrediants etc.

Admin - maybe this deserves a CR0 seciton of its own ?

yes must be spuds

the steam keeped dropping out when he started adding spice to the base in vid H but i will keep a eye out..

Yes I think they've sussed us. It's probably like George said, they don't like the forensic analysis of their curry making efforts. Or the stream could just be down like you said  ;D
Title: Re: Maliks BIR Recordings
Post by: haldi on October 06, 2008, 08:56 PM
Maybe that's not the base
Maybe they are frying mushrooms
They seem to have a black middle
This is too vague but extremely interesting

Post by: haldi on October 09, 2008, 08:16 PM
This so frustrating, it's Thursday night about eight oclock
I've just been watching them start the curry gravy
They had the onions in a pot then took it off screen
It came back covered in yellow
That's probably oil (but something else comes to mind, don't think it!!)
Then chef starts putting in this and that from the shelf
Dried fenugreek, salt,mix, another mix
Then he gets ingredients out of view from the left
Bay leaves (I think)
Something from a large plastic jar (balti paste or maybe kashmiri masala)
Then a few other things from the left (done very quickly)
Then jugs of water
Honestly, you just can't tell whats going on.
They're showing you everything and nothing at the same time

This so frustrating

very much agree on this one.

i think No 10 must be tom puree. does not seem watered down though - just paste straight from the tin. But they seem to take the heat up and down like a yo yo. They seem to really blast the fresh onion (No 11) and garlic/ginger paste (No 12).

for me these chefs certainly earn their money when the orders are flowing in - my arms would be dropping off and i'd be all over the place.

Post by: JerryM on October 10, 2008, 07:30 AM
oh forgot.

it's not clear how they deal with "froth" - i tend to scoop it off these days having tried leaving it in. some pics of the base show it merrily bubbling away on top then other pics show the oil and no froth. i presume from this that they too skim it off before the oil start to rise.

i've been revisiting my "technique" for cooking the dishes - trying to understand what the chefs are looking for/thinking as they cook in the hope i might get a better consistency in the dishes i make (technique http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1283.0 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1283.0) & smokiness http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1851.0 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1851.0))

in the search i've tried to record what i can see from the video and include it in case it's of interest to anyone.

A - oil added to warm pan then all stage 1 ingredient, 2 ring burner
B - 1 chef spoon of oil to start dish, very little stirring during cooking
C - all stage 1 in within 1 min on low ht, then stage 2 for ~4mins full blast
D - stage 1 low ht - 1 min, stg 2 high ht 1 min, low ht 4mins, spice added at end stage 1
E - All in stg 1, pan on low ht, 1 min then stage 2 high ht 4 mins

F - 0.17 chicken in low ht, 1.05 spices pan off ht, 2.00 base & stir full ht, 3.00 off
F - 13.30 all in inc base & full ht, 15.00 stir, 16.00 stir, 16.30 stir, 17.30 stir and off

G - 5.30 base, passata, paste, 6.25 meat, passata, 7.00 spice, 8.30 9.30 stir, 10.00 base, 12.00 stir, 12.50 onion, 13.35 off

I - 14.45 paste, onion, spice, meat, 15.30 spice & base, 16.00 stir, 17.20 off
I - 18.00 all in, 18.35 base high ht, 24.40 stir low ht, 21.30 off

J - 8.20 onion, spice low ht, 9.10 base high ht, 10.20 10.40 11.00 stir, 12.00 off
J -12.30 all in, 12.40 stir, 13.00 spice & paste, 13.30 meat, 15.15 stir, base, 16.00 off
J - 20.40 paste, onion low ht, 21.15 spice, 22.00 meat & paste, 23.00 full ht stir, base, 23.40 low ht, 24.30 off

the numbers refer to the time clock on the video. stage 1 refers to raw ingredients ie garlic/ginger paste and spices. stage 2 is when the base goes in.

i've had another go at these watching video A and G. was going to watch the east cam but they are closed on a tuesday.

i noted we as a site are listed on maliks website nowadays. the video cam is real rubbish though.

i'd be real interested if anyone has any ideas on what dishes are being produced. i am sure A7 is CTM. A5 got me smiling.

A1 - 0:00 oil, spice 5,6,7,8, onion, g/g o.paste, 0:50 chicken, 0:58 t.puree, 1:02 base, 1:10 new pan, 1:27 base, 2:23 stir, 3:33 low ht, 5:56 cream, 6:02 base, 6:45 off
A2  - 2:02 meat cream, 2:10 sugar c.flour, l.dressing, 2:45 stir & base, 3:39 stir, 5:10 f.coriander, 6:10 stir & off
A3 - 3.43 oil, 4:34 chicken, onion, g/g, 4:39 spice 5, 3, 6, 8, t.puree, 4:58 stir, 5:10 f.coriander, 5:22 base, 7:20 off
A4 - 7:03 sugar & c.flour, 7:40 stir, 7:45 l.dressing 7:48 base, 8:10 meat & cream, 9:22 stir, 10:05 off
A5 - 9:33 pan cleaning
A6 - 10:36 chicken sugar c.flour l.dressing, 10:54 cream, 11:09 base, 11:19 c.flour, 13:07 off
A7 - 15:20 oil, 15.29 red paste, sugar c.flour, 16:05 meat, 16:10 base, 16:30 cream, 18:23 stir & c.flour, 19:33 stir, 21:08 off
A8 - 17:27 oil 17:40 onion g/g, 17:52 ?paste & pwdr, 18:07 spice 3, 5, 6, 7, 18:19 tom puree 18:40 o.paste, 19:01 chicken, 19:10 base, 20:47 stir, 21:03 ?, 21:30 off


the video G is now of interest too. i am pretty sure they are using chilli sauce. in the past i'd thought it was passata (how u're outlook changes). i think they also add mango chutney. in this it is plain to see the tub which was originally out of sight around the corner (behind the tom puree) - it's bunjarra (onion paste).

G - 5.30 base, 5:43 c.sauce, 5:52 t.puree, 6:02 g/g, 6.36 meat, 6:46 c.sauce, 6:53 m.chutney, 7.00 c.flour, spice 4,5,7, 8, 7:45 c.flour 8:16 low ht, 8.28 f.coriander, 0 9.30 stir, 10.00 base, 12.00 stir, 12.50 onion, 13.35 off

Oh how the plot thickens doesn't it Jerry. I'm convinced having tried several its a chilli based sauce. Perhaps they make their own but my taste buds from different houses suggest they might not? (Perhaps).

Mango Chutney makes a world of difference, remember the oil from the jar too. I buy HOT Mango Chutney. There are other additions I'm working on at the moment. I think what I'll have when complete is a complete full journey around the houses right back to where I began but much better armed.

My biggest thing right now however is enhancing the spice without increasing volume.
How long do you sit there watching?  ;D
Keep well Jerry hope you had a good Xmas.

About 1 hr every now and then. the important thing i find is to keep revisiting them - the more u know the more u see. keeping a note of the times helps to repeat a few frames as things happen very quickly sometimes.

just to be clear (and the vid confirms) the chilli sauce does not go in every dish (in fact very few i think). i think there must be a lot of variation across the BIR's on what they use for the chilli sauce. it's just very uncanny that Secret Santa's version is spookily essentially same as what the chef told me.

it amazes me how there does not seem to be a pattern to the cooking - it appears totally hap hazard and left to chance when clearly it's not.

for example i cook every dish essentially the same way which is clearly wrong. trouble is until u know what dish (or even category) they are cooking it's difficult to understand how to refine u're own technique.

I found that Maliks has a youtube account. They've got an instructional video on there for making vindaloo. Been on there since september.
It's good news as it shows they have the intention of uploading more perhaps. And they're using a camera that's different to the webcam which is good news.
Gary it seems like they'd answer your questions - he (the owner i presume) says that he wants to hear feedback and opinions. He seems pretty open

I looked for this on YouTube and couldn't find it Chinois?
Did anyone notice the huge pot of precooked chicken being prepared, also the tom ketchup bottle in there.

There were two slightly yellow spices, not sure what the other was but color might throw you. I think if we knew without doubt what each spice and, sauce pot contained it would prove very useful indeed.

i hit a wall on this. i still do intend to do a few copy cat recipes for a bit of fun. however u've hit the nail so to speak.
