Topic: Questions for my chef

[jb]

Haven't eaten in his restaurant,for the life of me can't remember the the name but I'll ask him again.He does seem a really open and honest guy.He said 'any question you ask me you are paying for it'.I spoke to him this afternoon and asked about the spice mixture.He said he was going to bring some he had made for time reasons(my first lessons will be about three hours long) but that it was of the things I will be making along the way.Don't worry guys I've been on this forum far too long to have the wool pulled over my eyes!!!!
PS I'm going to specifically ask him about spiced(onion bhaji)oil in the Base sauce.

Won't be long!!

Agreed. Powder. What is in it?
I'm dabbling again now and its obvious now that the 'Powder' is everything in the final dish.
Actually, I'm now about 99.9% near what I'm looking for as regards my vindaloo. Tests of course, but in the main, extremely good.

Great post, I don't see anything unusual other than the unusual secrecy regarding the powder. Glad he said that frankly.

Best wishes.

I'm really loving this thread, I can't wait
The ingredients remind me of the Bruce Edwards Curry House Cookery recipe.
That's the only other time I can recall a lemon going in!!
Fantastic Edge of your seat stuff!!!!

The yoghurt is intriguing too.  And, as Chris says, the 10 chillies (for 2kg of onions!  I can't imagine that would make a typical korma...or CTM...or any other mild curry?  ).  Not to mention the spuds, of course......though that's nothing particularly new....but 3 spuds (albeit "small") to 2kg of onions would seem to be a relatively high proportion of spuds (assuming he uses all of them and blends them into the gravy?)

We'll soon see, I suppose....

JB, have you ensured that he's happy that you post the recipes here?  Maybe he'd like to partake in the forum?  You can ask him those questions, too, perhaps?
