Our secretary was too busy with the chef's spoon to write it.
Think we can pick the bones out of the vid although jb maybe more of a reliable source as he was cooking it ;D

Anyone catch what went in 1st from the spice deck, after the onions/chicken were done? That heat does away with any hit & miss affairs

Looking to get a smaller rounded pan as well, any recommendations, the meyer looks very thin?

Hi

That was a tiny dip of Methi leaves.

Cheers

Cheers solarspace, the videos are great, is there G&G in Az's bhuna?, apologies in advance if I missed that

I believe that was methi leaves followed by what looked like a couple of tsp of mix powder ( "bit more for bhuna" said Az) followed up by a dab 1/2 tsp of chilli powder.  Salt had already gone in earlier.  Just garlic went in at the start

Thats interesting, I'm really starting to realise the nuances,meaning the ingredients you can't see, in bir now. My local bhuna def has extra g&g, it's even advertised on the menu as such.
Kushi has no tomato paste/puree in their dishes

Does anyone add tomato paste to a basic curry recipe?

I add paste as a matter of course when cooking any curry other than korma.  Not really given it that much thought though.  Not that i cook a basic medium curry that often.  Hardly ever actually.  Would be interesting to hear comments on the differences, one with and the other without :
