Hi all, I am new here, Pete did you get any further with getting closer to bir ?
I believe part of the taste is in the special oil, which is oil that is used to cook onion bhaji ?

I fear he may not remember, Alan; this all took place around twelve years ago ...

Hi Phil, pardon my inability to scour the whole of this forum within a few hours ;) if I could be pointed towards updates of getting closer to BIR, I would greatly appreciate it :) I have read many posts on here today and feel very puzzled and lost at where the direction (over the last decade) has gone. I love cooking curry and would like to learn as much as I can and also share the knowledge I have also picked up on the way.
Many thanks
Alan

Hi Alan,

If you go to the first page of a topic it shows when it was posted, if you click on the OP it will bring up their profile and when they were last active. Hope this helps.

Regards,
London.

Specifically I seem to recall that the oil Pete's takeaway used in their curries was old bhaji and chip frying oil (and maybe poppadoms too?). I don't think using it at the frying stage is very useful as it tends to lose its potency so it should be added right at the end of cooking as a spiced oil as you probably know many restaurants do.

At least that's my memory of what Pete (Haldi) was promoting and I do agree with him that it's a crucial part of the BIR flavour but, for me anyway, not the whole thing. And then there's the garlic tarka first introduced here by JB I think. Many forum members, myself included, think this is another few percentage points toward the final BIR taste.

Yes, it was me that posted this
The info came from a man I worked with
He used help at a takeaway in the 90's, in Nottingham
They used to make a chicken jelly stock, which went in all curries, because it was in the gravy
They also used "thyme" in the base too (different but a bit similar to ajwain seeds, I guess)
Since posting this I have been in loads of takeaway/restaurant kitchens and I have never seen this done
It's old school

It used to be commonplace to boil a chicken carcass in the base too
Julian Voight even wrote up a recipe in one of his Secrets books
I shouldn't think it's done now though

People like Mick Crawford have pretty much shown everything that goes on
Julian and Adey Payne, Alex Wilkie too
And of course there is a wealth of info on this site
It can be overwhelming and most threads seems to wander

I don't think you can really achieve 100% at home
Close but somehow not quite right
Best thing is to follow one set of posts and recipes
The Fleet Five were good ones

Check them out on this site

QuoteIn the morning there is a thick jelly on top.

I await a report on this, although I really think this is not correct.

Next we'lll be adding Jellied eels >:(

What will solidify?

Mmmmmm jellied eels!
Takes me back to boyhood in Bermondsey....jellied eels followed by a glass of Sasparilla.

The jelly is from the boiled bones

That is the sign of a good bone broth.
