Bruce Edwards Season - Curry House Cookery Revisited
« on: June 04, 2008, 12:43 PM »
Having looked through the forum I have managed to find a copy of Bruce Edwards Curry House Cookery. It seems that many people on the forum think that Bruce's recipes are great, however it would seem that there is little talk of them these days.

I have printed off the document and intend to make his base sauce in the next few days, and as always will report back. I hope to work through the recipes and see how they compare to the more recent ones on the site.

If anyone would like to join in and try some of the recipes, I will attach the word document to this post. Also, any thoughts from those of you who have been there and done that would be much appreciated.

I use his Pilau recipe exclusively (the 25 minute bake method one) and his Madras is my usual. Simple and tasty.

Never tried his base, so I'm looking forward to your findings, Bobby.

Same here the madras is a regular in my house and of course the spice mix\restaurant mix is probably the most used on the forum.

Hello All,

I've tried Bruce's base and vindaloo from the second series of articles, "Curry House Cookery Revisited".

The base is what SnS would call a spicy base, with quite a lot of flavour, very aromatic and "strong(?)"

The first time I tried BE's vindaloo (following the recipe and spice mix given), I was a little disappointed, as the final curry still had the overall taste of the base gravy itself. I should clarify, it wasn't unpleasant, just not what I expected.

I then read an article from Kushi Balti website saying that you could double the spice mix used in making the final curry (it was listed as being a different taste), so applied the same principle to BE's vindaloo, and bingo! worked for me.

I would suggest that new members follow BE's "simple curry" learning method, it had a MASSIVE impact on how I cook my curries today, besides being very tasty, I gained confidence (afraid of burning garlic, spices etc).

I wish I'd read these articles before I jumped in and made about 10 different bases!

Is the document attached at the top of this thread the first or second series of recipes?

Apologies to all,

pages seem to have come out in the wrong order.

I'm not very clever, but I can lift 'eavy things
