Lets Talk Curry / Re: Cooking Methods
« on: December 24, 2025, 08:11 PM »
As an experiment I tried us8ng the last remaining portion of a base and just dumped it with chicken thighs, onions etc into a slow cooker for 8 hours.  Rubbish. Never to be repeated.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone. I just made a batch of Steven Heap’s base and pre-cooked chicken and tomato masala and am ready to go! Strange here in the US they don’t have turkey at Christmas but any excuse to try a little winter BIR is good for me.

Drink responsibly. And enjoyably. And other ‘ly’s….

Cheers Robbo

Unfortunately there’s a lot of thread rot here on this site and lost info. A pity, especially on the recipe side. I’d like to revisit some vindaloo recipes from years past..
Keep digging for that beans recipe.  One advantage of being in the US, no shortage of great Mexican restaurants

When I get home from this business trip, I’ll upload my own collection of typed up recipes too. Can never have enough references.

Any chance of the vindaloo recipe?
Looks great, as do all your cooks.
I have a portion of Kris Dhillon base defrosting right now and planning a random hot dish tonight.

Hey all
Randomly looking through ebooks and found this.
I assume I got it from here but just in case, wanted to share.  A lot of the content is from this website and refers to names going waaaaaay back to the Cory Ander / Chewy Tikka etc days…
And more recent members, Mick Crawford and Curryhell get mentions too!
It seems a lot of the very old stuff may be lost, so this doc might be of use.
I’m certainly going to give some things a try and get it onto good old fashioned paper.

Cheers

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

Flameproof suit a good idea back in the VERY early days of the forum. Lots of opinionated opinion makers back then!
Less so now I think.

Curry Base Chat / Re: Next base to try
« on: September 19, 2025, 12:09 AM »
Went back 15 years to my old Kris Dhillon base recipe and realized why I’ve not made it more. The simple process of boiling onions, garlic and ginger creates quite a strong smell. I remember stinking out my tiny flat back in the UK. Made a batch today, doing the first stage in the Instant Pot, out in the back yard.  I let it cool out there before bringing to the kitchen to blend and just opening up the lid….phewww!  Needed the exhaust fan on max.

Going to try her basic chicken curry tonight. Very straightforward but I have to say I can’t agree with her assertion that the regular curry uses a pinch of chilli powder and if you want a madras, increase to 1 tsp and for a vindaloo 2 tsp.  My beloved vindaloo is not a madras made hotter.

The base recipe calls for an 8oz tin of tomatoes. Are they still around?
It’s 14.5oz standard here in the US.

Let’s see how it turns out.
