Curry Pastes ( Pataks style )

[Peripatetic Phil]

I note George has not returned to justify his assertion.

Which assertion did you have in mind ?  As far as I can see, George's sole contributions to this thread are :

Wel, I've never been in a BIR kitchen, but some who have say that commercial paste is standard in small quantities- if that's the case then in order to emulate the BIRs, we would have to use the paste too.

I agree. There are too many people too ready to dismiss certain ingredients and methods.

Blade's excellent tikka recipe uses some Pataks paste, for a start.

and

I've spent time in Indian restaurants kitchens and I've seen large 2.5kg jars of the pataks madras and balti pastes up on the shelfs and many wholesalers stock these larger 2.5kg jars! but generally they don't like to admit to using it!  I've adapted a lot of my curries around then with the addition of fresh curry leaves and certain whole spices can produce a excellent full flavoured curry my favourite one is the Kashmiri paste.

I'm sure you are right and it makes perfect sense to me, even if some people are in denial.

The latter.

[Peripatetic Phil]

The latter.

Then I can't see how he can reasonably be called on to "justify his assertion".  George wrote :

I'm sure you are right and it makes perfect sense to me, even if some people are in denial.

which is just a statement of fact :  "George is sure that Curry addict Bob is right", followed by a suggestion that others will deny that Bob is right.   So the only part that George could reasonably be called on to justify is his assertion that "other people are in denial", and since it is clear from reading earlier contributions that others /do/ deny that Bob is right, no justification would seem to me to be required.

Could you spell out, in words of one syllable that even a moron such as myself can understand, to exactly which statements by Bob & George you take exception ?

I don't know where Bob comes into it. My original question was to George and it remains- asking him to name those he claims are in denial about the use of pastes. Bob's coment was unnecessary, of course, but no more than that.

I've only been on here a short time the 1st video I tried to post I ran into teething problems but onions decided to use bad language aimed at me nearly every single post I've done he's made snide remarks! He's obviously on here to causes trouble I joined this forums because I like talking curry! So onion either grow up or shut up.
