Topic: Premier curries in Burnley

Is this by any chance the TA that the happychris bloke is friends of?

I was in Burnley this weekend visiting friends and they ordered from here as it is there local and i went with them when they picked it up and had a serious feeling of dejavu. And after looking on youtube just now it does look like it...from what i remember. I wasnt paying that much attention at the time.

If it is i have lost interest in any "secret" recipes as the food was not for me. All had an odd background taste and were weak..almost watered down tasting with LOTS of oil.
Nothing compared to what i get here in leicester.

Yep thats the one. 

I've often thought of calling in on the way home from some jobs but its just a bit out the way. I'll get there one day

That'll be the magic paste then...or maybe the secret, seasoned oil.  ;D

...and were weak..almost watered down tasting with LOTS of oil.

And yet Chris must have thought they were the bee's knees judging by his rapturous descriptions of them!

Just shows you how varibale things are in this game.

By the way, which ones did you get?

Oh by the way- which one's Pink!

Yea it was an odd.. star anise, aniseed type flavour that was overpowering. And all very weak in flavour.

We had spinach bhuna, madras, samber, one called south indian garlic or somthing like that...and rice, onion bhajis, bombay pots, tsrka dahl and naan

Very very oily. And very little difference in taste to be completely honest.
The south indian garlic was just infused with a BITTER burnt garlic flavour.
The naan was fine..as was rice but the curries a no go for me.

Well - surprise, surprise. As I've said before, the approach of too many people on here is irrational by getting excited about dishes (or photos/videos of dishes), when you don't even know whether they taste any good. Many thanks for your report.

I said the same 2 years ago when my family had a meal from there and everyone enjoyed the food that day.
But my sister went back last year and had a very poor meal.  :

Now even though i would go back, there was a very odd flavour coming through in the curries that i didnt like at all. It was a Very sweet medicinal flavour and quite overpowering.

So have Chris and his ebook disappeared from the face of the Earth?

Nothing on Youtube for at least a year :

My theory is he originally was making one but he dug himself a grave by talking about all these secrets and special recipes and knows he cannot live up to the expectations

Maybe ask Sam directly as this Chris seems a bit dippy.
