Topic: Onion Bhaji Group Test

[George]

Just watched this again, and I must say, he really lets himself down with this one. 

I fear it's not looking good for the credibility of any of Dip's videos. I had such high hopes. You're saying the onion bhaji recipe doesn't work and I certainly found....

Hi George,

You're saying the onion bhaji recipe doesn't work and I certainly found that his naan bread recipe doesn't work.

I guess what I'm saying is that, the way he shows us how to do it on the video, certainly doesn't work.  I do on the other hand, I know that his bhaji recipe does produce perfect results, if you apply the IG method.

He's rushed the demos as far as I can see, and let himself down a little.  As for his naan bread, I've not tried it, but again, judging from his video, it looks very undercooked to me, hense the reason why he wraps it up so quickly.

George, are you on a naan quest at the moment, only I noticed the other evening, that you were viewing a few different naan recipes?

Phil, yes another subject is a must I think.  ;D

George, I think DIP had the best intensions in mind, I just don't think he really watched Blue Peter as a child...... 'here's one I did earlier' 

As for his naan bread, I agree with you and Ray. I tried it and it wasn't very good. Though i'm sure it works in his Tandoor, a mildly heated pizza oven and an impatient rush to finish the video due to a lack of material to fill the cooking time with, was always going to end up with a poor result.

I have yet to try DIP's recipe but all this talk of bhaji is getting me salivating, so I  might just have to do this test afterall and be damned with this diet i'm on!

Done 

But I'm not convinced the technique is robust; I have a nasty feeling that if the author then uses the "Modify" option, reduplication will once again occur unless he/she is very careful to undo whatever havoc SMF has wrought in the process ...

Yes, I've been trying various naan bread recipes almost every day for about a week now...details and revelations removed.

George,

I've used a granite slab

Really?  How did that work?  Was it glazed or polished?

Cheers,

You use of the word " really" makes it sound like you think I'm making it up!

Further details and findings removed.

No it doesn't George, you know full well it doesn't.  Stop being so bloody confrontational!

When I used the word "Really" it was my way, and I guess many others way too, to express my joy that someone has actually tried and tested, what I'm thinking of doing, that's all!

Ok, as for any lead, it's not contained in the granite but in the glaze, if indeed it has been glazed

Where did you learn this, Ray ?  I have been searching for info. on granite glazes for the last half-hour or so, and still have not come up with any conclusive evidence that they necessarily contain lead.

P.S. George did put a shriek-marker at the end of his first sentence, so I think he was just gently winding you up rather then being confrontational ...

OK, to avoid any future confrontation, I'm out of it. I hope to find the perfect naan bread - for me anyway - but, if I do, I'll be writing it up here.
