even 8 quid is a lot.  3.99 in most places i went to recently around blackburn and bradford
a fiver is a fair price.

I agree. I had a look around two large supermarkets down Brick Lane (London) today. They had a huge display of all manner of pots, pans and utensils. GBP13 (or GBP18 with postage) for a pan strikes me as more expensive than going directly to somewhere like Brick Lane, as long as you're there anyway and don't have to pay for petrol or rail fares.

?3.99 is a keen price, but around here about ?10 each.

Does anyone know of any other online sites you can get them from??

[martinvic]

I can recommend here, as I bought from them myself.

There is a one off postage charge of ?5.95 (Plus, please note VAT has to be added to it all), so will obviously make it worthwhile ordering a few things from there.

Along with an Alu pan, I bought several different length Serving (Chefs) spoons, balti dishes and a Tawa from there.

I have just bought 2 of the 24cm pans, they were only ?5 each, did you get the metal or wooden handled ones??

[mikeyp]

Had another look and found 24cm genware aluminium omlette pans for ?2.39+vat from cheapchefsclothing.co.uk
Not sure how much shipping is but shouldn't be more than a fiver or so, looks like the same ones in the above link..

The powder you see in the video is Fenugreek powder. I don't mention it as it's a little trade secret which I will go into in my ebook. 

Here's something else I bought down Brick Lane (London) yesterday - Fenugreek Powder. Is this the stuff you use?

I certainly use it, George, and my curries just wouldn't taste the same without it.  Why Julian regards it as a trade secret, I have no idea, but it is certainly true that my local Asian convenience store maintain that it has no place in their cuisine : fenugreek leaves (rubbed between the palms), yes; fenugreek powder, no.  But for me, a decided "yes" !

I haven't had the time to revisit Undercover Curry's base, but that had fenugreek powder in
And it was a really good
But none of the takeaways I go to, use it

Thanks for your input, and not least for the good English as in saying 'really good' vs the inexcusable use of the expression 'real good'.

Perhaps it really is a trade secret, then, and it would be step too far for most BIRs to reveal all! i.e. they do use Fenugreek Powder but claim not to.

Something else I noticed down Brick Lane were stacks of tins/containers of Mustard Oil, all marked "for external use." They'd never stock or sell as much for anything other than cooking but, whilst households might be prepared to take a risk, you'd think it would be out of the question for BIRs with Environmental Health around.
