I don't think I've understood more than about 10% of what you have posted (since you first started posting!).

You really need to focus on what it is you're trying to say and then put it into intelligible English.

Apart from that, keep up the good work.   :   ;D

Mikka,

this is quite revolutionary i think.

i won't complain that it's not traditional but possibly more BIR than it 1st appears.

this for me is making a BIR dish but using individual spice instead of a spice mix. the BIR spice mix and the spice tray is still something i feel i don't know enough about (i still have malik's pic on my kitchen wall which i ponder often - "what in those pots").

i will certainly give it a go as soon as i have base.

SEE SANTA! ;D
Someone knows what track I'm on. Heck you only gotta try it! Geesh...  : ;D
When I get time I will fathom out the ACTUAL quantities in most spice mixes when THEY HIT THE PAN.

At that moment I think you will see the light. 

Thanks Jerry. Yes its about Spice. How rich could we be if for every time we read "not the same. something missing, secrets and so on, we got a dollar. (Well Another currency then  : ).

It's adaptable, aimed at those who want to learn and its in graph form.
What more can I say.  ;D

I'm speechless.

WTF is it?

Mikka,

What exactly are we supposed to be learning here? That we all have different tastes? That I prefer more chilli powder than someone else? I already know those things.

I'd love to meet some of you people in a cook-off. Something over here they love and its a lot of fun. ;D

Q. What does a clove do when crushed and added to fish and baked in an oven?
Q. What point is it that a single green cardamom will ruin your dish (Time)?
Q. How many garam Masala's are then anyway?
Q. Do you cook with your ears and eyes open?

I've seen many good Chef's ridiculed by the BIR thing but we still go back for more food from them.

Understand your meat, understand your spices and what they do.
Do you?

Best answer I could give, sorry.

Mikka,

Q. If a clove falls into a curry and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

These are exactly the type of questions that are preventing me from perfecting BIR cooking.

And exactly why you will never perfect it

Sorry I forget everyone is on FACEBOOK and it requires only one sentence to gain attention.
Your loss, not mine.  ;D

So it's a madras spice mix, which you then use to make a madras paste, which you then use to make a madras sauce/gravy is it Mikka?

Quote from: Mikka
There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon so this took some time to work out. Since that is the case I just went for measures in 1/4 teaspoons.

I used 2 TBS from the following spice DRY mix to create the madras curry sauce.....

()()() = 1/4 teaspoon.
()()() ()()() ()()() = 1 Tablespoon

This makes no sense to me (amongst most other things!).  if ()()() = 0.25 tsp, doesn't ()()() ()()() ()()() = 0.75 tsp? 

Mikka, I don't think it's about BIR versus traditional Indian cooking, or a reluctance to listen to other views, I think it's more to do with simply understanding what is it you're trying to say (at least that's what it is in my case).

I've got a headache!  :-X
