RubyDoo I need you!

RubyDoo does the 3L you made then go on to make 7L. I am using julian's base too and when it reduces down after being cooked I refill it with water to make 3L.

maybe I have the wrong consistency.

Does julian's 3L make 3L for you.

I have a big pot that has litre mesurments in side the pan ;D

Trainee Chefs / Beginners Questions / Re: I think I just burned my taz base due out of distraction

Gagomes I have done this but not with a pressure cooker.





"Today I started to cook the 3L Bangladeshi base gravie from Julian?s ebook.

To my horror and after two and half hours cooking there was a brown residue stuck to the bottom of the pan. I thought this could be the burnt ginger and garlic paste but the other ingredients were not stuck to the bottom of the pan and with a bit of effort managed to get the residue off. 

The curry was darker than normal but I have been using a darker onion bhaji oil. I was going to throw it away but decided to put the tomato in and give it a wiz and taste it and then make my mind up.

I was thinking that it would taste bitter but it does not at all and does not taste burnt and I would say it tastes better than the ones I did before which was about 3 x 1.5L and one 750ml

Have you guys ever had this and if so what would you do as it's cost me 6 onions costing ?2 and other ingredients?"

Have you ever had a brown/black sticky stuff stuck to the bottom when you have been doing yours.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Why Can't I Get That BIR Taste & Aroma?
« on: February 20, 2013, 09:20 PM »
I always thought that smell was from the set up in BIR kitchens, most seem to have onion bhaji oil on top of the cooker as well as base gravy and uncovered spices not to mention the currys that are cooking at the time and that smell leaves the kitchen through the fan extractor.

Try watching more youtube BIR videos and see where they leave all that stuff right under the fan extractor!


I would not want to do that in my kitchen

Lets Talk Curry / Re: How many calories in a home made BIR?
« on: February 20, 2013, 07:32 PM »
I have been using Julian Curry to go base, and per 300ml base it has 2 Table spoons of vegetable oil so it's

Per 100ml = 829kcal   got off a bottle

829 / 100ml = 8.29 per ml

8.29 * 30ml = 248.7 cal

30ml is equal to 2 Table Spoons

So his base sauce has 249 calories in oil.

It is more as it's hard to count the onions and other stuff

The garlic and ginger has a small amount of oil too :o



I got this from the internet


29 calories in 1 small raw onion
44-46 calories in 1 medium size onion (2?" diameter)
63 calories in 1 large onion
64-67 calories in 1 cup of chopped onion

I only use 20ml oil when I start my curry

I have only ever used Julians base the Bangladesh version from the ebook where I learnt it.

I did not measure the coriander right but have now sorted this out with my last base.

I only do a 1.5 liter at a time but I'm going to do a 3 liter as I seem to go through the stuff!

Iv even got onion bhajj oil that smell's sweet and an aluminum fry pan.

Iv only been curry making for 2 months now and in total I have made around 5.25L of this stuff and includes a 750ml I did first.

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Re: Pizza recipes anyone?

JerryM

I would not use "grated cheddar 460g" it has more fat so more calories, mozzarella is better in this respect.


Maybe one day I will try some of those dry chives from asda and put it on top of the cheese.
