I know some people thought the Undercover curry book was abit vague,especially the bit about dipping but it is what the chefs do .They use one big spoon dip and cook with it .On those high heats they havent got time to measure.
I tried a new TA yesterday where you could actually see them cook  . All he used was his chefs spoon and by the way those flames were two foot high . Being my first time there I was abit shy about asking questins
(must try harder for the lads) but my mix grill,Bombay aloo and jalfrazi was more than good enough for a return visit

I'm guessing here, having had a look a some of the vids where the ladle is clearly visible, it's definitely 150ml and it could even be 200ml.  Mine is 100ml and Julien's (ladle)  is definitely bigger than mine ;D.  I think ladles are a bit like chef spoons; coming in  a few standard sizes, not helpful when looking to gague measurements though .

I reckon you're right, CH. His recipes usually call for two ladles of base, and 300ml is a fairly standard BIR portion.

You could always pour it into a jug if you want to be sure, I guess. If in doubt, measure it out.

(Personally, I can't be arsed!  ;D)

 ;D Thanks!
