I fear this is potentially quite a divisive issue. I'm with Jeera on this. I think it was a very bad idea to contact them and I hope that it's not shut down as a result.

I think you're probably being too alarmist and negative George (and Jeera).  I'm sure they will be delighted with the publicity and the prospect of increased trade accordingly! I'm sure this is why they did it in the first place! 

I think SnS is absolutely correct to solicit their willingness to provide their input into this forum; nothing ventured, nothing gained hey?

And as Bobby correctly (and obviously?) points out, someone should try out their curries to see if they are "up to scratch" before getting overly excited and too full of suppositions

We'll just have to wait and see. As I said, I hope we're wrong. Time will tell.

>I think SnS is absolutely correct to solicit their willingness

If I'd become a bit of a loose cannon and approached them without touching base with anyone else at this forum, to see if they minded, I really would have expected to be at risk of being kicked off the forum.

With respect, I don't think it was Bobby, but me, who first questioned how good the curries were!

With respect, I don't think it was Bobby, but me who first made this point, almost word for word.

I don't know if you guys were watching tonight at about this time, but LAUGHHH!!

There was this hyperactive midget chef trying to get in on the act.

I assume it's one of the chef's sons or something, but it was funny seeing him get his wrist gently smacked for trying to put an extra ladle of base into the curry.

I really should get a life.   ;D

Hi,

Quite a few posts and threads about this but i will post here and hope
it gets read/moved...

The first two containers in the video are not coconut and sugar,
but Cocount and Almond powder.

I have seen the two sitting together before
in other BIR kitchens.

yes/no ?

That's interesting, I'll go with that. As I posted in the recordings thread, but thought one was sugar, so what do you think the clear bottled sauce is that's added and do you think it's cream added when he turns?. If we can work that out we almost have a BIR Korma recipe on our hands plus the video to go with it.

Most definitely its single cream chowie also agree with Graeme about coconut and almond powders unsure what the clear bottle is mind.

Someone mentioned Kewda Water, sounds plausible to me.

hi guys i would say if it were a balti being cooked then it probably was kewra water. rather than make a separate base for all balti dishes.

I mentioned Kewra water even though I don't really know what it's used for. Out of interest, why is it associated with balti dishes? I still reckon that more than about 1 level tsp of ground almonds is almost out of the question in a standard BIR korma, purely on cost grounds.

Was it one of our members by any chance?

Dunno George but it was funny!

BTW, to all and sundry. The white powders on the left of picture are sugar and coconut flour..OK?

Not ground almonds..ffs. Try putting that much ground almond in a curry, well,  a korma, and see if you ain't chomping on something that has the texture of sand!

Does anyone actually use common sense any more?
