Anyone else tried Adey's seasoned oil short cut yet (from Julian's recent book)?  Very nice.

I guess not then .  Making up my second batch this weekend.  Highly recommended.

Never heard of it before, sorry.

Haven't tried it yet, I use Mick Crawford's short cut.
Did you use normal or Asian bay leaves?

Asian bay Tubs.  Great little recipe.  Significant increase in flavour depth to every curry it's gone in so far. I added a little ajwain for the second batch.  Very nice indeedy.

hi all

any chance of the recipe please?

Hi guys. Been on the forum for a bit but this is my first post (thought I would start to join in). I've tried both seasoned oils and much prefer CBMs although think that is due to when I tried Adeys I made pilau with ghee which I did not like so put me off. Hey but in saying that the wife did not like CBMs either!

Hi

I've never made seasoned oil before but would like to try it to see if it really adds another level to my curries. My only question is, does it keep well or does it go stale/rancid after a short time?

Ive tried seasoned oil several times over the years but have found it adds nothing to the flavour of the finished dish. Theres a thread somewhere about bir myths where it was generally concluded to be a myth. Perhaps Ive done it wrong???

I think in a commercial BIR where there may be a pot of base with oil on the surface etc where it is easy to swipe a spoonful into a curry when starting is a completely different concept to pre-prepared and stored seasoned oil, but for my moneysworth I learned not to Put garlic etc in it as it may go a bit off easier - I'm still chasing that BIR taste so stand to be corrected by more knowledgeable than me
