Topic: Cooking Lessons with Az

[natterjak]

natterjack, it is down to this spice frying mate....i'm a believer...my kitchen smells like a BIR ( curry #3  was as good as #1 & #2.... can't believe it)

I'm also a believer and some of the early results I'm getting are very encouraging, I just don't want to rush to judgement too soon

Chris, can you imagine how ghastly my phall would have tasted using dip's method   Boiled chilli powder sauce  .  Take  a look at some of CBM's videos and watch them cooking on very high temps, just as we did.  The end result has to be singeing.  The thing is, to the onlooker there's nothing dramatic going on worthy of note, just frying spices as so many of us wrongly thought  .  Night three and house has "that smell" once again.  I'm not there yet but i did edge a couple of seconds nearer.  Have faith mate, it's now all simply about practice until it becomes second nature.  Remember Az's words, "it ain't ******g rocket science".

Hi All
I've followed this thread, with interest and enjoyment as it unfolded
Kids in a Sweet Shop. Whoa. ;D
Some of members kitchen skills, reminded me of 'The Generation Game'
Who was chopping the garlic, Crikey. ;D ;D LOL, in a good way.

Az should hold these sessions every month, great entertainment.
I was curious about him combining the two normal Red Masala mixes into one.
Did anybody notice another Red 'Jhal" mix lying about on his worktop collection.

Oh, I'm glad the penny has finally dropped with my 'Singe the spices' term.
I suppose being shown in real life is better than watching a video or reading a post.

Just a thought, but why don't you practice your Tarka technique with just a bit base gravy.
I often do this when I'm testing new Masala mixes and looking for new flavours.

Practice, Practice, Practice and have fun
cheers Chewy

I think Chewy's comment     -  "I've followed this thread, with interest and enjoyment as it unfolded
Kids in a Sweet Shop. Whoa."  Is just about right!!
This has breathed a new life into the threads and there is a great little buzz with many reading and to be honest ive noticed quite a lot of names (members) reading whom i hadnt seen before - fantastic!

best, Rich

Hi Chewytikka when you say red masala mixes do you mean the way the red masala paste was made??  If it is  then is there another way this is usually made then? Where did you see the red 'jhal' mix???  I missed that  cheers Jb

[natterjak]

Maybe chewy is referring to the two different red "sauces" on the counter below the spice rack. These were blended plum tomatoes and watered down tomato puree. Not sure I understand the 'jhal' reference either?

The garlic chopper? I think he should remain anonymous....

Yes there are somethings which need to remain secret and within Az's kitchen, if you know what I mean

[mr.mojorisin]

if your "secret" means that much then you can keep it....
in fact ...I'll tell you exactly where the "secret" goes......it is inserted through the anus
in other words... "stick it right up yer arse "
cheers

Mate, I think the "secret" Curryhell is  talking about is the anonymity of the garlic chopper
