Hi watched this video today, all though another good video by Sam i realized at 6.40 in the video Sam explains Rogan Josh means topping.
I was under the impression that Rogan meant clarified butter or fat and Josh means hot heat boiling which all means cooked in oil at intense heat, That is what I remember from reading about Rogan Josh a while back maybe I am wrong can anyone clear this up or am I am just being stupid  :-X

Hi all hope you all had a good Christmas.

Just wondering as in the sales i spotted a few soup makers and being short on time looks like they be great to make a small batch of Garabi with less mess which will keep the wife happy  .

Has any one tried this out and any recipes for a Garabi to make one curry would be great.

I normally use Chewys base as i have had much success and great tasting curry's with it but would not know how to reduce the ingredients to make it work in a soup maker.

Thanks and happy new year to all

Hi all I had a chicken tikka chat balti last night and it was very nice quite sweet and loads of flavour.
Does anyone know of a recipe for the dish as I would love to try to make it.
I know I how to make a tikka chaat but still learning on the balti part.
Any help would be great thanks.

Hi made a patia last night but defrosted to much base. I have put the rest in the fridge is this going to be ok to use again and how long will it last in the fridge thanks.

I am in the market for a new pan as my old 11" aluminium one is now seen better days.

I do apologize on starting another thread about pans as i see there is plenty of information on the site but I just wanted to be sure as I like to keep my pans for a long time as money is always a problem as it is for most people these day.

Want i wanted to clear up in my head was whats the best metal pan i see there is black iron mineral iron stainless steel and of course aluminium which i enjoyed using but you do here the scare stories and i also find with using the techniques like scraping, I find the aluminium does scratch and pit after a while so looking for a change of pan here are a few links that i have been looking at starting with black iron and moving down to stainless steel and then the cheaper Asda stainless steel pan

My other question is par cooking peppers for a bhuna is it needed or should I just throw them in the pan and fry them with the onion and g/g paste and if chewy reads this as I had great success with your recipes do you have a bhuna recipe my Friend  ;D

And Thanks again for a great site

Hi a made a batch of CT 1 hour base sauce in the pressure cooker and i must say it was amazing my first curry was a korma for the wife and she said it tasted like a takeaway result  ;D thanks CT for the base and thanks CA for the korma recipe.
The question i wondering do you lose any tastes or spices using the pressure cooker i have read else where that steam can kill some of the spices is this true.

Hi I am new to this forum but I must say i am so impressed with this site. As a lover of currys for many years I never thought i could unlock that takeaway taste but thanks to you I am sure i can crack it.

I been trying a new curry house, the curries are amazing in taste but leak alot of liquid it looks like water just wondering why is this and is there a reason this happens.
