Hi Axe,
Most people on this web site are all talking about trying to re create that B.I.R taste.
According to a lot of things i've seen or heard all B.I.R use some sort of paste or another -- maybe we need a touch of paste -- maybe thats the missing flovour,
i'll be sure to try ig bhaji though ---Thanx.  ps,
up until now i've never used paste either (but i know which had the best result).

IT WAS STILL THE BEST ONE YET ..

BIR Main Dishes Chat / Dipuraja's C.T.M.
April 11, 2010, 11:36 AM
 ;DCan i just say if anyone thinks using pre made paste in their curry is wrong - Please at least give it a try, I made Dipuraja's C.T.M. and his Onion Bhaji last night !...
This is it --This is the one !
It had THE TASTE
It had THE TEXTURE
It had THE SMELL
It was better than any C.T.M i have ever had --For Real .
The onion Bhaji was perfect and when frying the oil gives off that smell we all know as THAT MISSING SOMETHING. (I've kept mine).
I did everything the same as Dipuraja apart from,
Heat oil first and add ingredient's one at a time,
Bruce Edwards Base ,
The addition of chopped boiled egg,
All ground almond - instead of mix with coconut,
But his pre made Masala sauce is the key(for me)
Please i recommend you all give it a go....DIPURAJA IS KING...
