Hi CA,
Which recipes did you use?
Funny you should ask. I acquired this particular recipe and method elsewhere. It involves no starting oil, and adding spices after the base. It relies on a reduction method, with added base later. I am very happy with the results. I would highly appreciate it if others could attempt and critique this method/base with where they are personally striving in BIR cookery.
If the originator of this recipe were to share it with cr0, it would be highly appreciated.
BTW, the pilau rice recipe is from the original Bruce Edwards cookery collection. It involves a quick fry of the rice in aromatics, followed by an oven bake in water and turmeric. I won't use any other recipe for rice.
Cheers,
Josh

the curry looks lovley, bet it was tasty

Seeing that Bobby uses a similar method to cook rice I see no reason why a rice cooker could not be employed myself. I haven't got one but after coating the rice it should produce good results too.

Hi Josh,
Can we have the recipe for this please?

The curry looks fantastic! I do like a bit of the old food colouring the rice myself, although a lot of people don't! You have lovely fluffy separate grains there! Brilliant!

The originator has been asked if the recipe can be posted here. Hopefully he will be open to doing so!

So do I Bobby. The problem is that the method I use doesn't lend itself well to adding colour. The unwashed grains are fried in oil/ghee along with whole spices to remove starch. Then water is added along with turmeric and salt. This is then put in the oven while I make the curry. The only way around it I suppose would be to pull the rice out early, add colour stripes, and then put back in the oven. This would then mess with my cook time and absorption rate. I think I tried this once, and since the water wasn't fully absorbed at the bottom of the pot, the colours ran and the rice looked awful.
I recall you saying that you use a similar method (oven bake). Or do you fully cook the rice and warm in the oven?
