Good link and helpful videos GulfExpat, thanks for posting it

Just watched the precooked chicken  video and I have three questions:

-  what did he mean by saying that the garlic/ginger was "marinated"?  It looked (as far as one can tell from a video) that it might have yoghurt in it?  If so, that's not something that's ever been mentioned before here is it?

-  did he really say that the chicken will be done in about 35-40 minutes?  That seems like a long time to me.

-  what type of bay leaves did he use?  Did anyone manage to count the veins (or even see them, for that matter)?

Hmmm, interesting that he says the mix powder will last up to a year.

I notice he added garam masala to his mix powder.

Also, he seemed uncertain about how much of it went into a curry.  He seemed uncertain as to whether it's about a teaspoon or about a tablespoon.

That naan though, no way was that anything like a decent BIR naan! It looked raw.

It looked to me like he stuffed up cos his oven wasn't hot enough...hence why he hastily shoved it into a bag 

Otherwise, a couple of interesting (confirmation) points for me:

- using only self raising flour and no yeast
- adding eggs
- ensuring the dough is of a reasonably stiff consistency (i.e. not too runny and unmanageable).

Hmmm, shame about the korma video.  He appeared to add stuff that wasn't mentioned in the edits.

I was surprised to see that he added it all to COLD oil though

I have written these up (apart from the korma where too much information seems to be missing) and posted them here:

I trust that Dipuraja doesn't mind.  I have messaged him to ask him if he would like to join and contribute to the forum.  I hope that he accepts the invite

I'm being really dim here I'm sure - but all I can hear is music, with no voice-over!  Do I need a you-tube log-in?
