Topic: ?The BIR style wagon?

Thanks Abdul
I've seen this dish cooked many times but it's really good to have all the ingredients from one person
I shall be making this with your spice mix and base
Do you use Pataks Balti paste?

Hi Haldi,

Yes, I do use Pataks Balti paste

Abdul,

have found matching balti taste difficult (alum rock road). having tried the dish from several North West BIR's it's clear the professionals struggle too.

the nearest i've found are Dipuraja's - with paste (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4520.0) and Razor's - no paste (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4297.0). i still keep a yellow sticky recipe of razor's but have ditched dipuraja's down to the pataks taste.

the real question for me is about the paste ie is it needed, can you make your own, if no paste then how is the taste gap bridged from standard BIR. i know the base is supposed to be different but can't see this being the whole of the story.

Hi JerryM,

The paste is optional and you can make your own. Once you identify the taste of the dish you are preparing, then yes, you can make a dish without the paste.

Hi Abdul,

I would like to know in your 8 spice mix: what brand do you use? do you grind any fresh? and what type/strength of chilli powder?

Thanks Abdul and keep up the good posts it is much appreciated 

Leon

Hi Leon, the brand that I use to make 8 spice is Rajah and I do not grind any fresh and the strength of the chilli powder should be normal, not extra hot  .

The brand paste that I use is Pataks.

Well, I'm still alive and can now feedback on the dish .   Yes it is very hot by most peoples standards and quite tasty.  The initial hit comes from the green and red chillis which get the lips and mouth going .  Then the black pepper kicks in provding that creeping heat which becomes intense and is different from chilli heat.  You'll be pleased to hear i shed a tear or two and the nose ran .  There were no hiccups or sweating which is always a sign of a really hot curry for me.  Alas, very few curries manage to do that for me .  How does it rank against Curry Hell?  It has a long way to go to get anywhere near the heat.  But for anybody who likes a hot tasty curry i would recommend Dynamite chicken.  Thanks for posting Abdul.  I've posted pics in the pictures section of the forum
