Just Joined? Introduce Yourself / Exploring BIR
July 12, 2015, 08:40 AM
Hi All,
Having stumbled upon this excellent site recently, I have tried one base and a couple of recipes. Which of course brought on questions.
1. As this is BIR are the recipes defaulted to serve 1 person?
2. I tried ChewyTikka's 3 hour / pressure cooker base which I thought gave me a good result. I have since realised it is relatively old and wondered what you spice kings, curry masters, Jedi and Admins are using currently as a base. Chewy, what are you using as a base?
3. When a recipe mentions chilli powder is this dried and ground chillis or is it the chilli powder mix I would expect to use in a chilli con carne?
4. Given we are all experimenting with fresh ingredients and blending different spices why is there frequent reference to a shop bought mix? Why use Tesco curry powder when we all have the spices in our cupboard to produce a decent garam masala?
Erm, I think that's it for the time being!
Thanks in advance

Hi Blackcloud, I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvHmvBLxEXU there is a little bit about boiling peppers and chilli at the beginning then the rest is at 1:30 interesting, no garlic, no onion just salt pepper olive oil and white wine vinegar all reduced. Have you tried it?

I tried this last week
Tin of tomatoes
a large white onion
4 cloves of garlic,
a splash of white wine vinegar
a big blob of ketchup,
a couple of teaspoons of mint sauce
handful of red chillis.
blender until really fine, then into the fridge where it should save for a couple of days.

Not bad but I think added too much vinegar,
I think next time I would blend in a whole red pepper too.
The Hairy bikers also made one in Turkey but I can't find the recipe for that. One day I'll have to record it and then write it down. Hope your Kebab was good
