Also on a slightly different note, Chewy pointed out the slight plagiarism on Imrans menu which had the same colour scheme and look of a certain Supermarkets healty range  ::)

The oil is not something I think of for balti - the opposite to BIR.

I hope the lower price of oil is not a bad omen - picked up 20 litre for 13? this week.  Al Faisal have taken it to heart for sure.

It needs careful handling- so as not to flood the market.

Having trip this friday. Taking my heavy pan to smuggle into the authentic pan shop. Still have bit of the accent so should be ok.

Hoping to get to the bottom of all this oil.

Report on the day too long for a post.

Host was top notch and brill day with much info and discussion - loved every minute even the rotisserie chicken.

Very clear that balti has evolved since 77 with no wrong answers depending on the date stamp.

Bengali bob had already done the hard work at Xmass - in my eyes I have a block of solid gold in my freezer. Going to ice cube size it and get on with my homework.

In short balti base is a dumb down version of BIR perhaps both very similar in the distant past. Of course the dumbing down not applying to the spicing which is a type of challenge i like.

Also looking forward to a longer post from you Jerry.  First time 'proper' Balti for me... thanks for driving.  Also first time I've ever seen Mr Naga for ?2 a jar at one of the local shops. 

You said to me that the Adil was better the previous time you went, and I can believe that.  The balti was good on this occasion, but crying out for some Garam Masala type aromatics.

Just picked up on this Thread JerryM, did you manage to get in to a Balti kitchen? Look forward to your Input. Base I should imagine is onion, toms and spice? Just a guess :D
Thanks.

Hi

Sadly the only gem I was able do glean from a balti chef was the use of tamarind in his base.   

Regards
