Stumbled upon this indian restaurant in Stoke on Trent on the local news tonight.

Good find! All we need to do is identify what each of the ingedients are and what he's making.

One early observation is that the flame is not as high as I might have expected. It's more like a domestic hob on medium, than the rear end of the space shuttle at take-off.

Thanks, interesting to watch indeed. Did not work from the homepage for me I used this link http://shared.streamwebtown.com/maliks.

Just watched a curry being made, looked like this, it's guess work.

Added just a spoon full of base, then Gee (I guess, maybe it's oil), then various spices (about 5) cooked this very quickly and giving it a big swirl around the pan, looked like Gee was not even fully melted.

Then added the Chicken, swirled around again so it looked like the chicken was heating within the spices.

Added what looked like a paste (brown in a white tub to the left)

Then added 2 ladles of base, and two pinches of something.

Started to cook another one and used 1 chef's spoon full of the curry above to start with.

Anyone know what the big pot in the middle is, it's covered now but they just seem to be adding everything to it even surplus sauce.

The pans are well seasoned by the looks of things and are not washed off but he did serve one, then put it (pan) on the burner  for a while and started another, like a burn off clean.

Here's my stab at what we're looking at. Pls fill in the blanks or suggest alternatives.

1 Coconut powder             
2 Sugar                     
3 Ground corriander                          
4 Chilli powder             
5 Curry powder               
6 Cumin                     
7 Methi                          
8 Salt                       
9                           
10                    
11 Onions
12 Garlic
13 Ginger
14 looked like a Tub of Pataks Powder (turmeric?) - he used it to make the base
15
16
17
18 Watery Base ;-)
19 Whole Onions (tomorrow's base maybe)
20

There is also some ingredients behind him. Chicken, methi, green chillis.

I seen him add LARGE amounts of 1 & 2 to make a Korma, and i mean LARGE amounts. So it seems that you cock on with that prediction of Coconut powder and Sugar.

Also when i started watching it pot 19 had the lid open and it looked like whole peeled onions.

Nice Work,

18, the base
11, Gee I thought
19, everything seems to be randomly added to this, almost like a bin.
12, was the paste it seems a very dark color?
It was too quick to see which spice numbers were used, will have to watch another
Whatever is in 20 seems to have taken a long time, looked like it was being prepared earlier.
