Hi all,

Just thinking ahead to getting some wine in for Christmas and I realised there are some gems out there, but finding them can be hard if you're not into wine. I don't tend to go above

Looks great naga. Thanks for the credit, but if any forum member gets credit for this recipe it's Chriswg who first reported on it. Mind you, he's not been seen in a while, hope he's still around.

Hi Martin and welcome. That's a a serious YouTube habit you've acquired! Bet you know the first 5 secs of all the ocado ads now (or is it just me that gets ocado ads repeated to brain damaging levels on YouTube?)

Here's a simple idea for using up excess chocolate truffle mixture.

1. Make a cheesecake-type biscuit base by crushing up digestive biscuits then adding an equal amount (by weight) of melted butter.
2. Spread the biscuit base into a ramekin type dish (7 or 8cm dia) then spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on top
3. Top with chocolate truffle mixture made to 976bar's recipe (personally I omit the chilli powder) then refrigerate.

Voila, a very simple but sure-fire winner of a dessert which looks like it took a lot of work to create but in reality can be put together in 15 mins.

Time to think about franchising the business mick. In 5 years time there could be a "British Indian" in every Aussie town and you could be semi-retired and rolling in cash.

Amazing work 976, truly impressive and professional looking. Must make you feel proud that when these students remember their time at the uni, some are going to treasure the memory of your food. I bet that turns out to be true as well.

I agree jb. Both Chris and Sam strike me as being primarily interested in helping people understand the subject more fully and in doing a thorough job of documenting things. Rather than a "get rich quick" approach.

Well at 10:35 in the chef Sam chat we did get a tantalising hint about the contents of the "magic paste" shown at 25:10 in this base gravy vid:

So it's precooked spices in oil. Maybe similar technique to the kasmiri masala video Chris posted, but with a different blend of spices?

Just to point out this forum has an "ignore list" option where individual member names may be added so you don't see their posts. Wish more people would use it so I don't have to read all the replies people give to those I've already filtered out.
