Not just any chicken stock Bob- special balti chicken stock

Can't be bothered waiting for the ebook.  I'm going with the recipe in this video.  The ingredients for the yakhni are shown at about 03:15, after the chef has finished making a bit of an ass of himself.  .  The recipe is shown again together with some method at 58:40.

Just going out now to get the chicken feet and wings.  It's my day off so should get it started later today.  As it's a 5 hour boil reckon I'll have to get a TA in for this evening.  Pics of the stock to follow.  Only think that concerns me is how a vegetarian balti is made.  Can't say I've ever had one.  Did have a veg side dish once though.  Can't remember what it was.  Spiced similarly to everything else on the menu, but it was missing something; possibly the chicken stock.

Edit: Scuppered.  Butcher had sold-out of feet.  I've asked him to set me a kg aside next time.

Hi all, sorry to jump in to this thread uninvited  have had a good read here and also agree a stock would lift a dish to a different level, but believe it would be to costly for a BIR to to produce a separate stock for Balti dishes.
This leaves me with the understanding that a Yakhini stock or Pakistani chicken stock must be made using chicken wings.
Then removing the chicken and discarding the bones leaving the stock to be drained for adding to base, a Pakistani veggie stock can be added to base for a veg gravy.
I can confirm the butchers next to my indian TA sell all there chicken wings to them, but they are not on the menu!! So i would assume it's got to be a form of chicken stock they are producing here using wings.

The chinese suppliers might have them. They sell them at the one I go to.

Could it be that a member of the staff takes them home as a free meal but payed for by the take away and not used
My butcher supplies fillet steak to a Bir he gets free currys the steak is not on any menus
Just a thought ;D

I could see this working. I'm not sure if there are any bases posted using stock, but I might give it a go. It could lift the base, and therefore the final dish.

I love chicken wings, I quite often chuck a kilo in my base sauce while it's cooking, produces a tasty curry.

Been there, done that. I've tried real stock, stock cubes and just throwing a few legs and wings in and none of them had me wanting to do it again...or made the curry any nearer to BIR (as I know it). I genuinely expected it to be one of the 'secrets' but it doesn't appear to be...for me anyway.
