It does help a lot, as do the other posts in this thread (1 exception!). Thanks everyone.
I'm sure I'm the target of your insult and I'm proud to be pedantic, if it equates to accuracy and taking care.
Well in the interests of accuracy and taking care I've just re-read the thread from the start so I can remind myself of your comment in context.
Yup, I stand by what I said, every other response in this thread up to yours was helpful to me and yours was not. Choose to take it as an insult if you wish but I'm happy that my post accurately reflected my opinion of the responses within the thread and I would have thought you would appreciate it for that (since you like accuracy).
And by the way, I may be new around here but I've noticed you have no problem with not only finding fault in others but saying so, in which case I trust you don't mind it when others do the same? After all it would be somewhat hypocritical to think you could criticise others at will but be immune from any negative comment on yourself.

When marinating whole drumsticks, do you prick the skin prior to marinating or just pop the drumsticks in the marinade?

Hi Frank, I quite agree but in this case the BIR flavour is what I'm in search of so I will try the recipe from Martin first. And yours wasn't the post I referred to as not helping by the way!

Excellent - thanks so much for arranging this Chris and the "value add" of having a real live BIR chef there to answer questions is priceless. I have a feeling we could all learn something to help further our cookery on this day.
I'm praying I don't end up double booked (which always seems to happen!) but for now I'm keeping 6th August marked in my calendar. Luckily it doesn't clash with an F1 race

Thanks Tom. Until now I've only used Blade's marinade for tikka chunks on kebabs, but with BBQ weather being here I think it's a great idea to get some drumsticks going. Perhaps a good way to introduce some BIR flavour into a family BBQ alongside the standard fare (burgers, hot dogs, etc..)

I bought a new aluminium 20cm pan that does the job just fine for me. I also bought a cast iron one just for adding garlic tarka's at the end of the cooking.

I had one of the 26cm ones on order from Amazon, but I have just cancelled it after watching the guy in Chutneys. I've ordered a 20cm one now which I appreciate is quite small but it is about what they were using there.
Trust me it'll be too small. If it's not too small come back and tell me and I'll eat my words with veg ghee on

Hi Natterjak. Agree with Martinvic. The recipe contains the majority of the essential spices necessary to make a good pilau and is an ideal place to start. Twenty odd years ago, i didn't have the benefit of this excellent forum ???so i had to make do with dissecting my local BIR's pilau to identify the spice content and then balance out the quantities until i got it pretty much spot on
). Thanks everyone. #1010

I wouldnt say this is the best pilau recipe but it can be the start of trying to make one
https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4203.0
Give it a go.
Thanks for the link, doesn't appear to resemble anything I've had in a BIR though so I'll try the one Martin posted first. Thanks for the suggestion though
