Did you miss the 8tbs of Oil George ?

Yes. Thanks for pointing it out.

I worry when the recipes are all split up by Admin as I feel like the Ashoka posts they should be kept together as they relate to each other and deserve to be kept together for what they are genuine recipes from a BIR and not the attempts of ourselves. Maybe you could comment on that point and convince the powers that be to keep them together. Anyway I just as ever want to help. The site has been a major part of my culinary life and its good to give back PP

Well said! I think any recipes which are tied to certain bases ought to be sectioned together i.e. SL's chicken chasni should be posted under the BE base....though there are so many "untied" recipes it may prove problematic as some posters swear recipes work equally as well with any base though personally speaking I don't quite see how given the differences in ingredients/measures between one base and another :\ it's a pain in the arse sometimes going from thread to thread to find the right spice mix, oil mix, precook method, base and final dish far easier to have them all under one heading...won't hold my breath waiting on it being implemented though...

It makes perfect sense to list base recipes with the relevant spice mixes & curries this way, but it would be a fair bit of hard work for admin or mods to sort out though (this was where CA was a great mod in my opinion, he put links in to the relevent spice mixtures etc).  I am ready to make a new base and was thinking of trying panpots this time, if I have enough time that is.

cheers

Panpot

Hi Panpot,

I appreciate you taking the trouble to post these, can I ask if you have tried any of them yet?

I hope you don't think I am being deliberately negative and I appreciate there is regional variation in dishes but when I read the Tikka Masala recipe I couldn't help but shake my head, yellow sauce with green peppers?

Can I suggest that the term 'runny' used in the Onion Bhaji reciepe should also taken with a pinch of salt. If you use a runny batter you'll most likely end up with battered onion slices rather than a bhaji.

Could you be more specific?  1/8 a teaspoon or 1/4?  Thanks.

Sorry, you are right to correct me, that was a Metric Pinch not Imperial.
