Lets Talk Curry / Re: Boring but delightful

The Co-op (or "The Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society", as I believe it once was) do two 620ml bottles of Peroni for a fiver, and Asda do 12 330ml bottles of Peroni Zero (the only 0%-alcohol beer that tastes just like the real thing, to my mind) for £11.

Does this work?

Not sure whether "this" refers to the forum (which disappeared for a few days, and now seems much slower), the link (which does work), the style of presentation (very poor, IMHO — it needs a good voice-over, not background mumbling), or the recipe (no idea).

I wonder where the forum went — the following may offer a clue :

My wife and I went out for a curry recently, and returned to a restaurant where the simple, basic, chicken curry is always superb.  Fancying something different, she started looking for a suitable lamb curry, but with only a couple of exceptions, all lamb curries were listed as being made with lamb tikka.  Hoping against hope, I asked the proprietor if the two exceptions were indeed made with "real" lamb rather than lamb tikka, and was not surprised to learn that the answer was "no".  "Our beef curries are made with topside, and not pre-cooked in the tandoor" he said, but as neither of us fancied beef, and as king prawn was twice the price of chicken, we settled for a chicken curry and a chicken dhansak.  Both were superb (as always), but what a disappointment not to be able to get a single lamb curry made with lamb rather than with lamb tikka.

Would you do that even for something as commonplace as (e.g.,) "a pint of milk", T63 ?  And if so, would you approximate it as [570 ml], or be as exact as you can [568.26125 ml] ?

Quoteit also meant converting whatever units of measurement the 11th-century chefs were using into the metric system.

Now that is a surprise — I thought that Americans were inextricably wedded to measuring ingredients in cups (etc) and had no idea what a millilitre (sorry, Americans — milliliter) or gram was ...

Good to see that Swasthi's recipe, even if hosted on a site that includes the word "healthy", includes ghee, oil and salt — I think I shall be giving this one a go !

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Japanese BIR?

Well, yes, it was certainly Japanese cuisine that I ate while I was there (but not Japanese curries ...) but please do make sure that if you eat fugu your chef possesses one of these !

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Japanese BIR?

Although I have visited Japan at least twice, I don't think that on any occasion I set out to eat Indian food when there, nor do I remember ever eating the same in Japan, even by chance, so I am not in a position to confirm or deny the hypothesis that Japanese Indian cuisine might in any way resemble BIR.  But if it does, I will be mildly surprised.

Yet if he did not have such wealth, how could he afford to donate $3 billion to charity ?
