Hi jb

Hope you are well, good to see you are experimenting. I do not use charcoal anymore but when I did, I used 'lumpwood' charcoal.
I hope this may help!

Hi,

Hi Everyone,

Its good to see everyone is still exploring different ways of BIR styles of cooking. Sorry I have been too busy with work. Finally have had a chance to have a quick look and drop a message!

Soon I will try to post more recipes on here!

Once again it is good to see that the search is still on!  ;D ;D

Kindest Regards,

Abdul (BIR Chef)

Nice to hear that you are enjoying the dish! 

Abdul

Hello everyone! Nice to see how cr0 is still growing with many different interests and new members! Hope it continues to do so.

Abdul

I would like to congratulate everyone who had the opportunity to go and experience the real thing yesterday and sharing it with the form along with videos. I am waiting for JBs report and I hope his previous experience was a help.

@curryhell,good to hear you're making the advanced gravy.
Could you report back with your  opinion of the new base please,as i'm really looking forward to making it for myself.
It's the next base on my agenda ,just have to finish off my remaining.
Happy weekend.

All done and just bagging it up now.  It's been chilling since sat due to a hectic schedule.  Won't have time to try it until Wednesday eve.  It has a different taste from the basic gravy and obviously the tomato flavours are more evident given the additonal ingredients.  It wasn't to keen to give up much oil in spite of the fact i diluted it real well and boiled the s***e out of it ;D.  I've no doubt it will produce as good if not better results than Abdul's basic gravy and look forward to sampling the results.  This recipe when thinned to the correct consistancy provided 21 portions of 350ml.  Enough to keep me in NIS and brinjal bhaji for a little while  . Here's a few pics taken during my Sat afternoon:

Basic ingredients cooked


And blended up


In with the garlic / ginger puree


Lets now add the pureed plum tomatoes


bit of mix powder, tumeric and tomato puree


cook it for a bit and add in the precooked base and 3 pints of water


Just off the boil with oil clearly visible


the finished article ready for use having added additonal water to bring it to correct consistancy

Hi Curryhell,

The gravy looks fantastic and I am sure you will have a very pleasing result when you make your dishes using this gravy!!!!!!!!

Just bought a copy of the book, looking forward to its arrival:)

Abdul, do you have an example of a BIR style Garlic chilli chicken recipe? It's my favourite and i'm trying my best to replicate it at home but not had much luck yet:(

Hi Duncank,

Hope you have received the book by now.
Once you have made the 8 Spice, Gravy and Chicken Tikka, send me a personal message and I will set you up on my yahoo  messenger and guide you through to make the dish.

Abdul

Welcome to Cr0!!!
