I sometimes use a drop in my chinese curries - tastes great (authentic Chinese BBQ curry!).

I think I bought mine (a different brand) from Waitrose last Summer - in the BBQ section.

I just called them & they have discontinued it

yea think thats were I will have to get it ?4.95 inc delivery
I don`t understand it I called all the major SM & none stock it any more
The stuff is great a couple of drops in your onion gravy, makes a wonderful taste to your Sunday roast, am I the only one on here that uses it?

This was available from all the main supermarkets .70p a bottle, the last one I got was from sainsburys a few years ago now I cant find it any where unless I buy it online for about ?7.
Just wondered if anyone has seen this in there travels, its great on meats & chicken in chilli spag bog & would put a nice smokey flavor in a curry, if you like curry that is? ;D

My Mrs complained as we have had this Madras for dinner & tea all week & her mate said she smells like the taj mahall, so i cooked a korma tonight lol.
I used this base & I must say it has a tiny bit of heat but is pretty good!
well the sauce is ready I will split it in half later so I can put a tsp of chilli in my half when I reheat it with the chicken in

Yep I agree with CA I freeze just about anything thats left over including peppers, apart from chillies, my dad grows a stonking hot chilly & he dosnt even eat them so he leaves them in the sun to dry out giving me a constant supply ;D

I put the whole thing straight in the freezer & chop it from frozen for the cooking side of things then sprinkle the top of the dish with one i have growing on my window sill the live plants keep for months this way as you are only taking a little for decoration as apose to alot for cooking which kills it.

I found this episode here if any one missed it

& yes its black cardimon I put it in my rice it has a mint/annisead taste & the last is  mace the dried frute that surrounds the nutmeg seed not sure what its usually used for but my mum puts a bit in her coffee, it tastes of nutmeg but much stronger

Hi all
I have made about ten different gravy's from this fabulous forum with the resulting curries all being very similar in taste when it comes to patia, ceylon, korma etc all being very close to my fav BIR but not quiet? if you now what i mean.
The hardest to get right IMO is madras & this i think is, if the base is not 100% it will show more in the madras than any other due to lack of the domineering flavours, woodpecker21's gravy with parker21's respite is the best I have ever made 95% of my fav BIR & far better than some other BIR's I have tried, deffinatly got that special tast.
I thank you both dearly for your effort
but i am totaly confused 
1 You are both called Gary
2 You have almost identical gravy/recipes
3 you are both someone21
4 you both have recipes from your local BIR chef
5 your locals are both called rajver
Have you registered twice & different computers log you on? or are you schizophrenic LOL
Goner try your gravy next Parker er woodpecker, gary, woody Oh f##k knows ;D
Thanks again

Ok right or wrong this is what I have done but not on a grand scale like yourself (only 11 guests)
Cook rice day before & freeze,
Pre cook chicken/meat  refrigerate
pre cook sauces ie ceylon patia korma was what I did, Refrigerate
Next day put meats in sauces & bring to the boil, & micro rice from frozen as required

Thank you Folks
I made Jethro's last night & I must say it was pretty good not the same as BIR but tasty neverless I left out the mint as we don't have it our way & next time i will try half the cumin, you cant really see from my pic as its in a red bowl but if you don't want to eat stuff that looks like the contents of a baby's nappy red food coloring is a must.
I will try yours next haldi but maybe less salt for me
THX ;D
