I assume the Jalfrezi video and others were shot by you in your kitchen. Is the approach and/or recipe from Chef Moike, or where does he fit in? And if you are hoping for new subscribers, why are your videos unlisted? I think it means the videos will not be found through a search, or flagged up by youtube and only seen by anyone who has the direct link(s) as you have given here, thanks. Even when I clicked on your channel name, it doesn't list your videos, as on most channels. I fear you could be missing out,

Goncalo was the camera man George. Yes, my kitchen. Moike worked at a local TA. I did deliveries for the place. I think the videos are unique, how a Bangladeshi chef copes with making BIR food in a domestic setting. The dishes made were as for the TA, mainly. A few differences. For the jalfrezi the onion/pepper chunks were deep fried briefly at the TA. Also, the tomato puree was dilute d at the TA. For the vindaloo, Moike would add all the base at once. So no multiple reductions. His madras was the same (obviously with a lot less chilli powder). Note no finely chopped onions/service onions, or green pepper at the start either. Just as in Mike's (Chewy) YouTube chicken madras recipe from all those years ago. Recall Mike finished his madras with a dash of Worcester sauce. Such a simple/elegant dish ingredient-wise, but one of the most difficult to master.
I see several new recipes for the Bangla madras, mainly by the YouTubers. It seems like they are having a competition to see who can add the most ingredients. I think the more they add the further away they will get from it. There is also one recipe that involves adding instant coffee (to a madras). Expect the idea will have originally come from dried fenugreek seeds. Rock hard and bitter seeds However, they change if soaked overnight in water/rinsed, and then microwaved on high. When I did this got coffee/caramel/toffee and maple syrup flavours from them, with no bitterness. Amazing really. I must revisit, for another curry though. Interestingly, there is a study online where microwaved fenugreek seeds were used to supplement actual coffee. Also, fenugreek seeds are used to make artificial (low sugar) maple syrup.
