Topic: Julian's second book

[Kashmiri Bob]

Thanks Mike.  Would love to know how the kebab texture is achieved though.  Thinking back to Abduls of Rusholme.  Used to have four of their kebabs in a naan, at least twice a week.  Can still get almost as good in Brum.  Be good to make them at home.  I would burn them of course.  ;D

So,I finally got my hands on the book(sort of).It's an interesting read I have to say,I have to admire Adey he does seem to have a great passion for all things BIR.I'm still reading it,there's a few things that have grabbed my attention;the made from scratch balti paste,the garam massala oil that's added to certain dishes(I wonder if it's similar to Sam's method of making spicy oil).There's also a recipe for a Pakistani base gravy,the usual ingredients plus some whole spices and half a chicken carcase...I'm sure there's a thread about this somewhere but if I remember correctly adding chicken bones etc didn't seem to make much difference.

I did have a problem with the link when I brought the book,eventually Julian emailed a pdf copy that opens up in Word.Not being a computer tech I can't work out why none of the video links work.I just hover over them with my mouse but nothing happens.Hopefully Julian will get back to me but in the meantime anyone got any ideas??

cheers JB.

i got hold of a copy of Julian's and Adey's Ebook on Friday spent the weekend having a good read and view at the vids , have meet Adey and eating at his place it came to no suprise that the book would be straight forward some great tips and well shot vids . personally i think the price was fair for what you get so with that well done Juan and Adey you have my recommendation a 9/10 Ebook would a been a 10/10 but i would have like to seen a few more starters and Adey's chicken tandoori recipe Ty ( Ivan )

Hi Phil, Long story mate but this should help a little

Any further questions just shoot

Thanks, Adey.  Just finished watching it, and two related follow-up question :

1) You mention early on that you worked in order to be able to travel, and that you have visited India (perhaps on more than one occasion).  Did you learn to speak any of the Indic languages, and if not, do you think that we Britons are disadvantaged in trying to learn to cook Indian cuisine because (most of us) can neither ask questions nor  understand the answers from what are potentially our most useful informants  -- chefs and home-cooks from the sub-continent -- other than through English, which may lose important nuances that would be clear in the informant's first language ?

2) Do you think that not being brought up in a sub-continental home makes the learning process more difficult for us, in that many things that we might otherwise have learned at our mother's knee while watching her work in the kitchen now have to be learned explicitly in later life ?

No luck I'm afraid,it appears something's blocking the hyper-links(I have no problems on my work computer).Julian informs me that just one other person has had this happen.Tried disabling pop up blocker.firewall,google chrome and updated Adobe reader...run out of ideas now until my resident IT expert(brother in law!) comes round.Thanks for the ideas though guys.

Just downloaded another version of Adobe and the videos work now,funny things these computers!!

The Chicken Tikka Moghul recipe (p. 112) requires some Adey's Tikka Masala Sauce.

The problem is that I can't find the recipe for this sauce! Where is it?
