Spices / Asafoetida dissolved in water
« on: July 14, 2015, 07:42 PM »
An Indian lady on Youtube claims that asafoetida dissolved in water results in a better flavour and aroma in food. 
You can dissolve a lot of it, store it in a bottle and then use it when required.
She also claims it's a very important ingredient in Kashmiri cooking.
The tip is 2 minutes and 5 seconds into the video:

Lets Talk Curry / Re: BIR Cookery lessons
« on: July 08, 2015, 09:16 PM »I'm not sure if someone 'born and bred in the sub-continent' would have an innate understanding of BIR, Phil. As you well know, it is a very different cuisine from traditional dishes.
...
THIS fascinates me. HOW and WHERE DID BIR arise?
It is a remarkable evolutionary step if there are no strong links to traditional dishes.
The food is simply incredible.

Cooking Equipment / Handi Pans
« on: April 30, 2015, 05:46 PM »
Vah chef, an Indian chef on Youtube, uses a "handi biryani" pan to cook biryani recipes.
It looks like a casserole pan with a bulging base: youtube.com/watch?v=iJUdcbCoIcA
Does it make a difference if you use this pan or a standard casserole pan?

George, an award winning Indian chef told me that 20% of the flavour of Tikka comes from cooking in the Tandoor oven.
The man's food is excellent:

I disagree, George is not an intrusive moderator - and most importantly he's not a tyrant.
This has started to look like bullying.
