I made a batch of base gravy today using Chef Imran's recipe, I was a bit doubtful about the "coronation" milk but I wanted to try it. It made a very nice base, the evap. milk seemed to make it taste smooth rather than any creamyness.
I wanted to try their recipe for a Dhansak as is it my favourite. I emailed Ali on a couple of points & fair play to him , he answers promptly. My usual Dhansak is CBM's . Imran's is very different, no oil, no ginger/garlic paste, no tomato puree. I made my usual & made my wife Imran's.
We were both amazed how nice Imran's is, very delicate but full of flavour, CBM's is equally good, just different. If you like Dhansak , give it a try.
