Nice ;D
Not washing rice is one way to do it, especially if your going to fry it with spices pre-cooking.
Heres my BIR style -similar


What was your local BIR and favourite curry back in the UK?

cheers Chewy

  Looking good ;D

Hi Colin

Classic method to do a homestyle Pilau. all good.
BIR is a different technique altogether, just depends how BIR style you want to take it.
looking forward to your photos.

cheers Chewy

The main reason why expats struggle to get the taste of UK BIR is obvious.
Historically 90% of UK BIR are Bangladeshi run, with similar kitchen systems
recipes/techniques nationwide.

Taking a snapshot online, of say Brisbane

A list of popular INDIAN outlets and probably none of which are Bangladeshi. The opposite is true in the UK
I would like to try most on this list, as Im always looking for new flavours.

Last night back in the UK
Good old CTM and Pilau, Lamb Biryani and Butter Naan.

Well, perhaps you need to travel a little more more widely,  Australia is a remarkably large country,

condescending or what Livo.

Usually I use Satco containers, 1000ml and 500ml, a good mix of sizes which fits the freezer drawer perfectly.

Most freezer drawers are rectangular, square and round containers waste freezer space!

The next time you make some keema/kebab mixture up
you could make Koftas i.e. Meatballs.
Really excellent in a BIR style curry



A satisfying full meal

Like the little decorative skewers,, Ive been served the same in Turkish restaurants.
