Sorry but didn't watch it when I saw Lenny Henry was in it.

To me, Lenny Henry is to comedy what Pat Chapman is to curry

OK, so I recognise Lenny Henry, but who is the Simon-and-Garfunkel look-alike ?
** Phil.

Another,TV celebrity Chef, trained under R.Blanc, he used to be on TV quite often.

He once did a quick curry from scratch, which was surprisingly good for a Michelin starred Chef

I'd love to have seen the making of that rich darkish Balti sauce that Lenny had clearly been given by a local restaurant to start the cooking with. And the "garlic and flour" what was that? Garlic powder? If so there was a helluva lot, maybe this is the "something addictive" referred to by the lady who ate 9 Baltis in 2 weeks.

The balti sauce in the Lenny vid looks a bit similar to the Glasgow gloop. Interesting. Reckon it's time I re-visited the Kushi balti house, it's been a while.

I picked up on that too
I watched that detail three times
I reckon that's garlic powder

It's a bit weird though, isn't it?
I don't see how the spices could be cooked out?

9 Baltis in 2 weeks.......That's not addictive, that's being a lightweight.
