Hi Jamie,
I haven't come across this particular base, but I have come across similar. The first base that I used was the Kushi base. It too uses whole spices but, you tie them in a muslin cloth to make a kind of tea bag, and simply pop it in the pan along with the rest of the ingredients.
If you are going to try this base, I would suggest that you give the tea bag idea a go. it will make it much easier to fish out them whole spices when the base is finished.

Hi ray
I thought i had seen a similar recipe but could not remember which 1 it was, is the kushi 1 any good in your opinion?
-
Hiya Jamie,
Yes, I think the kush base is very very good but, you need to compliment it with the kushi spice.
It comes from the 'Authentic Balti Curry' cookbook, and for me, it's exactly that, Balti!
I have posted various Kushi dishes including the base and kushi spice, so if you go to say, pathia recipes, you will find the Kushi Pathia in there and there are links to the base and the kushi spice.
It is a bit more complicated than other bases but nothing too hard for any of us here
I would defo give it a go, I think you may enjoy it!
Ray :)

Cheers ray
I actualy use the kushispice mix quite a lot its 1 of my favourites so ill give the base a go see how i get on with it

I might be wrong, but was the Jafflong not featured in some of CMB/Mick's Youtube videos?
May well be another Jafflong, but maybe Jamie (or Mick) you could clarify. I don't think I saw a Jafflong base online.

Hi josh
i think you could be right because the same site that had the jaflong did have cbm recipes on aswell, if you have a look in the video posts i have put up the links will take you there its worth a look.

Hi Jamie,
You need to be careful posting recipes from the "other forum" that may be copyrighted, or obtained without the OP's permission.
The Jafflong never revealed the contents of their spice mix and the dishes also call for other pre-made components such as their own recipe onion preparation.

Hi paul
Never realised that they would be copyrighted but i actually found the site through a video thats already on here, cheers for the advise

hi guys
the recipes for the above restaurant and many more including videos can be see at
www.kitchenstreaming.com/ (http://www.kitchenstreaming.com)
i have said this before but no 1 seems to care or say great as most feedback these days seems to be of the negative kind. most of the videos are from restaurant kitchens the jafflong posted by sean ryan and when cbm lived on the IOW he got friendly with his local and that is where it all started. the jafflong if any1 cares is in dartford kent. its all there on the above site, just registration no fees etc and you can watch to your hearts content
regards and this is the last time i will mention or post this address,
gary

Thanks Parker, great work :)
-
Very interesting, thanks for the post. Unfortunately I live in Dartford and the place is just down the road.
I used to get a take-away from them every saturday night, but that was a long time ago. Maybe time to try them out again and then try the recipes out.
However there is a missing ingredient that is not mentioned in the videos, that is this onion paste. The only way to get hold of it is to join the www.indian-recipe.org (http://www.indian-recipe.org) website. They are now charging for this as I suspected they would.
-
Update, I ordered a chicken tikka vindaloo, rashmi kebab and a garlic rice.
Waited over an hour to be delivered, so I complained, arrived in 5 mins, rashmi kebab was stone cold, vindaloo was base sauce and chilli powder under cooked, horrid. Waste of money.
Never again.

If you click on the link given by Gary you can access the vids for FREE and there is on on the onion paste.
Spend some time watching these folks you may well learn something rather than the constant arguing and other associated crap that is going on the forum.

Thanks, my mistake I now have the onion paste recipe.

adamski
where do you live in dartford and what night did you order the curry
i am the person who made the jafflong videos but they are on a rival site (im not going to promote the site you probally already know) im afraid now i have made the vids unable to see on the kitchen streaming site so hope you enjoyed it while you had chance

I live off Westhill by the boys grammer school. It was a Tuesday night I ordered the curry. It certainly looked nothing like the videos you took.
-
have you a date adamski im always behind the scene on a tuesday night i can find out what chef was on
sean

Sean,
You have removed the video so why even bother? It cannot be of any further interest to members of this forum.
-
Hi Sean
Any chance you could make the videos available to us too? It would be a great help to the forum. I have watched a couple of your videos and they are great.
I'm sure you have noticed that this site is free for everyone and less commercial than the other one. We just want everyone to be able to cook great curries. We are also light years ahead of them on the Onion Bhaji front!!!
Thanks
Chris

good call matt, couldn't agree more

Unfortunately the answer to my question above was no. I think he literally just joined here to let us know he had taken them off that site but that we could view them on 'the other' site for 8 quid.
-
Out of interest, ddi anyone see the onion paste video? What was in it and how did they make it? Was it the blend and boil down for an hour method, or a fry method as per Razor?
-

There's a surprise ;D

If it's like any of the other onion pastes that have been posted over the years your not missing much its just onions boiled to nothing with a few spices, waste of time.
-
8 quid to watch them. Not worth it. I spent more than that for one of their curries and it was shit. Never again.
I know the guy that used to be a partner in the Jafflong, him and his father started it as a joint venture. They had some falling out and left to set up another place in town.
One of the waiters took over running the place.
Shame that someone is on these forums monitoring what goes on in order to protect some money making exploit/venture on another forum.
Sorry to Sean if that's not the case but it's how I see it.
-
to all concerned this will be my last post on the subject
actually i came on this site after being told someone had seen the videos and was slagging the place off about a order they made
2 partners took over the restaurant they also have an outlet in east london so it was one of the waiters
i have not promoted this rival site and will never do so but membership can be as cheap as
-
Adamski thinks its awful,
Sean thinks its brilliant,
In the words of Harry Hill there's only one way to settle this...
-
Sean, sorry I upset you, it wasn't intended. I wasn't slagging off the Jafflong, but saying how the food I got was nothing like what was shown in the videos you posted.
Your videos prompted me to try the place out again, I hadn't been there for a few years and the food looked good.
The bottom line is the food I got was not up to standard, this was the main reason I stopped using them some days the food was really good others it wasn't.
I'm willing to give it another go and maybe you can suggest the best day of the week when the good chef is in?

Hang on,
