Hi Cory!

Im glad you said "I have no direct evidence for saying this; it's just my intutition...!"
This was my point earlier, that we tend to take what people say as truth.

btw How do you know Haldi is Pete? You can pm me if you want.

CP: sure go for it dood!

regards ashes

...How do you know Haldi is Pete?

Hi Ashes,

I don't!  Again, it's just my intuition!  And, again, I'm probably wrong! 

[Chilli Prawn]

Ok I will start it off tomorrow or later tonight (onion & Garlic that is).  You are right Ashes, we have no absolute Guru to go by, the only true BIR I think we have is my mate Mark.  However you lot do a bloody good job (excuse the French)  ;D

Maybe it was a long time ago, but i remember when i first discovered curry,  i thought it was the worlds best food (isnt it? ), and i tried to create it at home. not really knowing anything at all, i presumed it would be chicken stock with spices.. so i got going, baked me a chicken and cover it in curry powder. Then was all surprised when it turned out the way you might imagine. :
More attempts were with Majur Jaffreys first curry book, the more i cooked the more i liked.. but there was an feeling of disappointment. This wasnt the same taste or texture as restaurant curries....... it took many years until i came close and then some to try my first Cr0 BIR curry. I believed it would always remain a secret!
And as far as im concerned, im happy with where i am, the grail isnt so much a step up, although, its always nice to reach perfection
There are lots of people who have helped me in understanding the nature of curry, but those posts ive been most interested in are those written by the old timers who walked the streets and asked the questions and begged the recipes from the curry houses. A big thank you to all those people!! There is enough information here on this site to write the most comprehensive book on the BIR curry ever.
Im surprised someone hasnt offered to publish these recipes.

Anyway the effort that all you curry fans put in is much appreciated !

Keep up the good work! And let the effort we put in result in our ultimate curry goal!

That was great Ashes, well said and from the heart. I have de glazed many WCs and destroyed complete sewerage systems in my quest.  My Mum always said the the spicy curries will be the death of me; oh what a way to go Mum, especially with a pint in one hand after just finishing a great round of Golf.  Oh ,sorry there I go again.

Anyways

 I proposed a book(let) idea to go with the video but the post got deleted in one of the hot threads.  It is worth a look at, but in your common sense terms I would ask who gets the profits etc., and who do we appoint as the project manager with responsibility (to the Forum Members), and so on.  I know we are digressing but lets see what reactions we get as this thread will not be effective for long as I will post and entirely new Topic on the UCB (uncontrolled bomb  : ) at some point in the very near future as promised

Happy Days

Well i would have some reservations about trying to get a book together. I think it would be easier to work backwards and ask a publisher what he/she thinks. Usually it takes years to get your work published, i was speaking with a Swedish author today (a published author) of fantasy books. I got a free signed copy a few months ago, but as i got 4 other books on the go i haven't got round to reading more than a third, felt i owed him an explanation as i promised to give him a review, anyway he said don't worry, the whole works wont be finished until 2012  . The point being is, if you are unknown, the book market is hard to break into.. once you got a foot in, its easier to get other stuff published.

Just a thought.

The only place I ever heard of garlic powder, used in a curry, was from Pat Chapman's books.

Hello Pete...Sorry!  I mean Haldi   

Cory, I think you are spot on. Haldi = Pete

while we're in guess who mode I think you, Cory Ander = Fat Les

after all, who else is a fantastic photographer with such an appalling taste in tablecloths

see the evidence -> http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1200.0

 ;D

[Cory Ander]

 

Fat Les???  What's that?  A new type of healthier curry?   

And waddya mean appalling taste in tablecloths!!!!     Mrs Ander will be well chuffed with you.....not!! 

Of course, these fine tablecloths can be found in any $2 shop, or in a car boot sale near you, Inspector Jeera! 

And it's a fair cop guv!....that IS my tablecloth in that thread...there's no denying it! 

Hmmm......now I wonder who Jeera might be.....

Anyway, I digress.....back to "UCB".....

LOL  ;D

[Chilli Prawn]

Well it just goes to show that folks DO read all the threads  ;D  Sad though.... tablecloths...
