curry vid from a bir in Swansea

[Secret Santa]

- Chillies (Fresh? Sauce?)
- "Garlic pepper little bit" (??)

It's naga chillies and garlic pickle

- Some brown powder(?) (spice mix?

It's really annoying, can't quite catch what he says here.

[Cory Ander]

Yes, I thought he was saying "some naga chillies"....daring huh, for a dish with cream and coconut in....sounds great! 

My favourite dish is Chicken Tikka Masala Vindaloo Hot (made to order of course  ) 

Garlic pickle?  Interesting! 

Maybe we need a forensic sound technician for the rest  ;D

Hey Brum!

This is a REALLY interesting video! 

The only concern I have is knowing how good the curries are? 

Do you know which restauraunt it is?  If so, has anyone tried it?  If so, how good are the curries from it?

The restaurant is in clydach, swansea and has just got into the cobra good curry guide which is what prompted the article in the local rag - so it must be pukka grub I cant find the article on the website now it's been moved, shame as it was a good read - the chef is a bangladeshi who came to britain aged 1. In the article he was complaining about young asians not going into the curry buisness which is leading to a shortage of young talented chef's. I havent used the place yet as it's right over the other side of town but I know a few people who live over that way so I'll do a bit of digging around.

so what do you think he's cooking? my guess is butter chicken

reasons -
the use of butter
he mentioned punjabi - as we know, butter chicken is a trad punjabi dish

probably barking up the wrong tree lol

Odd as it may sound I am a musician and have a recording studio. I don't know if this might infringe copyrights however? Pretty sure it will infringe something? Everything does these days so I'll maybe pass on trying.

Maybe we need a forensic sound technician for the rest  ;D

Just wanted to add before I leave for the day.
Had anyone noticed how extremely simple it was?

Add this, add that, little of that and a pinch of this. I hear much talk of the base sauce but believe there are several of them.

Sauces are created for meat in every culture and for whatever meat. So then perhaps we are not looking for a solution to the cooking process because that is impossible. There are way too many dishes with different flavors and needs for one sauce, but then.......

There has to be one gravy that does not taste of anything. It's bland but has body. That's one weird concept if you think about it? Cook for hours with something that tastes bland?

Next week I'll try my own base sauce based on stews I think? It does have overtones conjured up by the Parsnip & Fresh Fungreek I added but it will be very interesting to see the outcome since I left mine till last.

Best -  Keep well and cooking

Had anyone noticed how extremely simple it was?

Yes i noticed but it didn't surprise me. There have been a lot of first hand accounts of curries being cooked in BIRs on this forum and they all sound fairly straight forward.

But...what you don't know is what's in all the individual elements that go into the finished curry. For example, in this video he uses a base sauce, a red masala sauce, some browned onions that might have something aded to them, a mix powder, etc. etc. So the process is simple but the pre prepared stuff is still a bit of a mystery.

Except that he's using king prawns (not chicken) in the dish with butter in 

...plus chillis, chilli powder, fresh tomatoes, "vindaloo sauce", cream and coconut powder in it? Topped with coriander and slices of lime?

So maybe a "Butter King Prawn Bhoona Vindaloo" something or other?  lol
