Topic: Bombay Aloo Group Test

[Ramirez]

I don't think there is any harm in including it in the group test assuming everyone has used the recipe from the OP. It's a shame it's not the genuine Bombay Aloo recipe from the book though.

Hi

Chris & I did the one from the OP.

For the sake of completeness, if someone can post the recipe please, i'll do both of them.

• oil
• garlic
• dipping
• patia sauce (or mango chutney)
• potatoes (1--2 medium, pre-cooked)
• methi
• gravy

Dipping : salt, cumin, garlic & ginger puree, tandoori masala, cjilli powder.

• 1. Into the pan with 2 curry spoons of nicely spiced onion bhaji (or similar) oil.
• 2. Add garlic, and stir.
• 3. Dipping -- salt, cumin, garlic & ginger puree, tandoori masala, chilli powder.  Stir.
• 4. Add either patia sauce or mango chutney.  (This adds sweetness, but in a natural way, without being too obvious about it.)  Stir.
• 5. Now the potatoes -- 1 or 2 medium, pre-cooked potatoes, chopped into bite-sized chunks.  (A nice alternative is to use tinned, cold, new potatoes.  This does change the flavour a little, but try it sometime.)
• 6. Add a good four-finger pinch of methi (fenugreek leaf) and stir.
• 7. Add gravy, but just enough to cover.  Stir.
• 8. Turn up the heat and reduce until it's quite thick

Done.

Very naughty - criminal even. You make a mockery of the author's copyright by mentioning his rights followed immediately by the recipe. I would applaud if you are prosecuted. Once again, you are out of order.

Thoroughly charming and pleasantly worded post as usual George

Bit harsh to single out Phil in such an aggressive way when the site has several recipes taken from other copyrighted works in many of its sections. Heck! even Admin gave consent for one poster to link to a torrent on pirate bay http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5588.0

Phil has made it thoroughly clear that the work is Copyright (C) 2010 Dave Loyden, more than several other posts have bothered to do when publishing other books recipes.

Perhaps George, as CR0's self-appointed barrack-room lawyer, you would like to explain how your direct citation of text from one of Delia Smith's books differs in any material way from my citation of text from one of Dave Loyden's, with the single exception that I did Dave the courtesy of acknowledging his copyright up front, while you simply included a facsimile of Delia's prose without any acknowledgement of copyright whatsoever.

I don't need to be a professional or armchair lawyer to know you are almost certainly breaking the law by writing out that recipe. What's copyright law for, if it's not to stop that sort of thing? Why buy the book if recipes can be found for free?

My presentation of a few lines out of a Delia book introduction is completely different. The use of short extracts is allowed. i didn't write up any of Delia's recipes. The introduction is like a promotion, with which I agree.

For God's sake, can we take this out of this thread? If there are any problems, talk to Stew.

I don't want to muddy this topic any more than it has been but I would like to draw peoples attention to the following link: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/section/30 which is taken from the Copyright, Designs & Patent Act 1988

I have no legal authority so do not accept this as accurate but from what I read in section 30, we are not infringing Copyright by reviewing a recipe as long as clear acknowledgement is given to the first owner of copyright, which is exactly what Phil has done.
