Curry Base Chat / Re: Next base to try
« on: October 10, 2025, 02:08 PM »
Thanks for the plug BAJ  :smiling eyes:.  Long may your son continue to enjoy your cooking and your chicken patala.  It's always good to hear that people continue to enjoy the results of the R&D that once used to be a regular thing on this site.  We have all benefited from the trials and tribulations of others here.  Today's media explosion of BIR info available only shows where we've got to.  It doesn't begin to show all the leg work done over the many years in the wilderness before we actually  got this far.

.... the chicken curry made last night was OK but nothing special. It’ll allow for a bit of experimenting.

We've all been here on many many occasions and continue to do so  :clown2:  It's all part of the joys of pursuing "the holy grail".

BIR Main Dishes Chat / Re: Balti chicken (vindaloo)

That vindy is looking damn good Rob.  Love that "dinky" naan  :lol:  I'll have a couple to go with that balti please.

That naan is looking fairy sexy.  An almond, coconut and sugar filling and a brushing with syrup would certainly elevate it to the next level, or even  stuffing it with sheek kebab mince would do the trick.  Good job Rob.  The original Happy naan recipe really does take some beating. It never fails to deliver.

 :kiss: Can't beat it, but it's more difficult nowadays to find somebody who can cook it properly and not kill the flavour  :clown2:  Has the advantage of keeping most known germs at bay and clearing the tubes too.

That's got my juices flowing for my leftover Chicken Bollywood Blast.  Saag looks good Rob.  Any recipe for it?

Both look fantastic Rob and I very much like the sound of that rice :umy:

 :kiss: I was having bangers and mash for tea but am now craving curry and rice.  Damn you Rob, I'm off to get gravy and chicken out of the freezer.  What's that red sauce over the samosas?

Lets Talk Curry / Re: 24 H with a Master Chef of Indian Cuisine

Nice work Rob.  Glad the gadget worked well for you.  Was it better than the paneer you can buy?  I too remember the days of cream at the top of the milk bottle  :clown2:  Been doing a bit of basic traditional indian cooking recently.  It's prompting a  few questions on how the traditional process transposes to BIR practices and the pitfall we sometimes have.  Food for thought  :smile2:

It's good to see the art of the janky salad has not been lost. Still used in a lot in restaurants. The problem nowadays though is the increased likelihood of a janky curry as well.

 :lol: :lol: :lol:
I hadn't thought of using the resultant stock in a curry. Worth exploring next time I cook tikka or tandoori  :smile:

Those pics are making me hungry Rob.  The penetration of that marinade (and colouring) is quite stark.  Often heard and use the adjective "jank", but not the Americanism "janky"  :smiling eyes:
