Topic: Got an invite to my local resturant kitchen!

[kid curry]

I  was in my local restaurant kitchen last night,What an experience!
Been going there for over 15yrs but until i found this amazing site over a month ago,Ive never thought abt asking to get in their kitchen.

Anyway it was amazing and when i came out i realized how much goes into the making of my curry.I was even a bit disappointed to how far i think iam from getting it right.Just when i thought m base was just right.

I'm going again tonight so i,ll try to remember everything and get back to you 2morro!!

Yes I know what you mean. At my curry eating peak I knew every waiter, in every restaurant, within a couple of miles of my house. Yet it never dawned on me to ask to see my curry cooked. What a wasted opportunity!

Fantastic opportunity, looking forward to hearing how you get on.

Yeah great stuff, if you can take lot's of notes as you are bound to forget something 

[JerryM]

Well done, very brave

for me don't ask too many detailed questions - leave it short so the welcome remains for another occasion ie pick your biggies

Amazing,What can i say!!

Last night was my second night i was there for about 1hr so much to take in.And when the chef said i should have brought a video camera i could not believe how enccomadating, and friendly, and how much they wanted to show me.They also should me their way of making the madras with no base!

I'm making the base right now,with their spice mix which they gave me in a large curry carton.Also a carton of their fresh garlic and ginger mix.

When i have finished i will report with all the ingredients for the base and the mix,fingers crossed .

Nice, well done, would love to do this myself one day, look forward to hearing more. So have you been in the kitchen two nights running.

First night was a bit quick they were very busy,But last night went at 17.00 so they could spend a bit more time showing me.As with base because the volume is drastically reduced they wrote down what they thought would componsate this!
