Topic: The Curry Guy - How to make British Indian Restaurant (BIR) Style Curries

[benmitchell88]

Just noticed this guy has popped up on YouTube 'TheCurryGuy1', sharing some 'apparent' British Indian Restaurant style recipes which should be interesting to watch (and also to see if they mirror anything on here lol)

His base seem's a very unusal orange colour and the thickness of it is unlike anything I've ever seen but each to their own etc... 

Give them a watch, see what you think!

He's been around for a few years with his site, some very good recipes on it.
Been on his mail list for a few years myself.
Very helpful guy.

Dan is a top bloke.  Learned many things from his website when I first started up.  Still make his chicken madras recipe with mango chutney; love it.  Not keen on the look of that Lamb Saagwala though.  To be fair its not my fav dish anyway.  He's started doing some smoked spices recently that look very interesting.

I couldn't decide if he's an American who's lived in the UK for a while or a Brit who's lived in the States for a while. I think from his strange (non British) pronunciation of 'madras' that he must be a Yank.

I thnk hes from Australia originally and now lives in the UK.

I believe he is American from California, he lives in North Yorkshire and runs a business selling promotional items etc.

I wouldn't fancy a slice of his Madras though.

He must frequent some strange restaurants.

Dans chicken madras recipe.  Made this many times with Mick Crawfords and Julians base and its wonderful.  Quite a lot of mango chutney in there and it works a treat I think.  With Jalpur gm added at the end its awesome.

He is from the USA.  I have no idea why I thought he was an Aussie.

Mango chutney and GM added at the end...definitely not typical BIR madras.

He's from California, got a taste for all things Chilli there and on moving to the UK he fell in love with Indian Food. I've been on his list for a while.

I tried his base a couple of times, Prefer Curry 2 Go's version - lately he's been branching out into some strange "fusion" stuff like spice encrusted salmon fillets etc etc, maybe he's running out of ideas.

I've made his Sagwala with fresh pureed spinach and it turned out ok.
