Hello, I have only just joined this site as I stumbled across it only very recently.
I have actually been on a college course to learn Indian cookery (which I Love, don't think I mentioned that before)
Obviously it was a traditional form of cookery, taught by a very skilled Indian lady, with which I use my skills to entertain on a regular basis.

I have been looking for a certain recipe (Lamb Pathia) which i adore so I have been led to this site in a roundabout way.

My initial reaction was WOW, so much talent out there. The recipes look tremendous and I am cooking my first one tonight.

I hope I can post some of more traditional recipes in the near future, because I think they are just as good as BIR when cooked correctly.

Well I shall leave it at that for now and hope that I get some feedback.

Glad to be on board 

Hi,  a big welcome to cr0. Always nice to have someone with a bit of first hand experience on board.  ;D What recipe are you having a stab at ? Don`t forget to let us know how you get on. regards....mike  ;D

Hi, welcome to cr0 any recipes are welcome we have a traditional\authentic section for any of those.

Looking forward to your input.

Hello again,

Thanks for the replies.

Tonight I made lamb pathia and also chicken pathia. I used a base sauce from one of the recipes on cr0 and a recipe for pathia from Indian Restaraunt Curry And Recipes pdf which I got from the site download section.

It turned out brilliantly, not quite as sweet as some I have tasted but very very enjoyable all the same.

It was also a first for me to use precooking of the meat. With my more traditional methods I put the meat into the sauce in a raw state and continue to cook the sauce until the meat is done.

I find it can give a excellent depth of flavour which I enjoy. But hey ho I'm open to try anything and as I said I did enjoy my first experience of BIR cooking.

Just thought I should have taken pictures but maybe next time.

Thanks again for the information made available to enable me to widen my culinary experience, I think it could prove to be a long association.

Cheers for now.

I Love Indian (ILI)
