If I was having that one, I'd definitely enjoy it.    :P
There's a lot of heat under that pan, nice flaming too.  ;)

Cheers, Frank.

Hi Chris!

Looks interesting (:

Always believed that methi should be added at the end, because it tends to become bitter if it gets cooked too long. But don't know for sure.

edit: Wouldn't make any sense. Forgot that they use the fresh ones like spinach, too. So the taste should remain fine, I think.

The "burning pan-moves" do look pretty fancy ;P Never really understood how that works in detail. Is that really just as easy as it looks, some pan-shaking above open fire? (:

Greetings!

very good video. Thanks

my mate used to love a mince madras. Never seen mince mixed with chicken though.

Spiced oil makes a guest appearance too..... (shhh...don't mention the spiced oil)

Water from a yellow container....how do we know it's only water???

As far as we know the "secret" ingredient could be in the yellow tub under the guise of water :)

Looking forward to the book

Cheers

In short yes it is easy, it all is when you know how. Hold on and you soon will.

LOL sorry i did find that funny "Water from a yellow container....how do we know it's only water???

In the video he says "The base was too thick and added water" IT WAS JUST WATER trust me.

I'd be willing to bet money that if you left the bay leaf out it wouldn't taste any different. I think some chefs do things because that's the way they were taught - there isn't much thought put into the process. That's not specific to this particular dish of course.
