looks that way

looking back the extra heat/caramelisation really didnt really make a difference, it must of been the five cans of lager before hand that must of altered my taste buds to believe i replicated a BIR dish. ;D

either way at least i know what to do if its not the extra heat it is definatly the lager ;D

happy days

Alan ;D

eminj,

I think you have hit the nail firmly on the head mate, thanks for working that out for me. ;D

I just put it down to the extra heat without thinking why. 

when i look back there was definatley caramalisation going on when i added the base, that is why i had to keep adding the base continuously rather than waiting for the oil to rise to the surface.

thanks

Alan ;D

Get in that kitchen Razor and do them bhajis mate  ;D

really looking forward to the feedback on this one

Alan ;D

pp,

I went with the CDA range on cooker, hob,extractor, fridge, freezer and sink and taps. i went with the silver five burner hob at ?191 and the 8 function oven. (and they offer 10% discount on all appliances).

advice would be to go for the high range doors as the difference in price between the low range and the high range for example would cost an extra ?300 for a kitchen containing 20 doors.

regardless of what kitchen you order the quality of the carcasses will always be the same.

cheekily go for the one man delivery at ?75 like i did. two men turn up anyway ;D.

I also agree with graeme in that ultimate heat is not the answer and that is not what i am trying to say because i dont even use my wok burner to full capacity.

I do believe however that since i have used the wok burner that my results have significantly produced better results than my favourate restraunt.

I also must point out that i am not saying i have cracked it for everyone on this forum and that i have only cracked it for ourselves as we have far surpassed what we have achieved before.

I have got to say though that out of everything i have tried for the past 10-15 years (believe me i have tried everything ) my eureka moment came from replicating the excellent recipes on this forum as i have done so many times but this time at the higher intensity heat and also halving the cooking time has had the single biggest impact on achieving what i percieve as a BIR curry.

hope my feedback helps

Alan ;D

Hi jerry,

9kw wow. wouldnt want to pay your gas bill  ;D

i have went from a conventional cooker to what now seems like a beast in comparison to what i have had before.

i also mentioned i use a cast iron wok which retains the heat like nothing i have used before so could be a combination of both.

it does spit up the sides but because its a deep wok i get very little mess onto the hob. (mrs moony may disagree with the previous comment though ;D).

regards

Alan ;D

Stew,

I will post pics on sunday as the next time i will be able to cook a curry is on saturday.

I have ran out of razors base so got to knock some up on saturday morning.

I will also attempt to link everything together of what i did.

thanks

Alan ;D 

stephen,

thanks for pointing that out.

Domi here is the correct link below

Alan ;D

Well I have either cracked it or fluked it. It is deffo one of the two though ;D

Hi Domi,

I will attempt to get the recipe and method posted before the weekend.

Regarding your kitchen, seriously look no further than www.diy-kitchens.com

I am a time served joiner and have been a site manager for the last ten years, so you can trust my judgement on this one.

you will get everything you need from this website including all your appliances. I went with the CDA range.

they delivered everything on the day and time they said, customer service was spot on and very professional, they phone you to go through your order before taking final payment to make sure you have not missed or over ordered on something.

the quality of the units are the best i have seen in all my years in the trade i am well happy with my purchase overall. ;D

the most important bit you need to know is that they are also the cheapest, ignore all the other websites offering as high as 50%discounts, this one doesnt because it cant.

when the delivery drivers delivered the kitchen i couldnt believe the quality for what i had paid.

he said they supply to some of the top showrooms in the country and they instantly add 60% on top of what i had paid. read into that what you will!!

obviously i had already done a lot of research and cost comparisons before commiting to buy from there because it is such a huge investment.

i would highly reccomend you check it out.

hope you see what you are looking for

Alan ;D

ha ha Domi,

have just read your post on the other thread. very interesting that we both use razors base. personally i dont feel i need to explore any other base any further as his base is excellent and  covers my needs, although i do add the knorrs chicken stock pot at the water stage.

my eureka moment came from replicating the recipes on this forum many times but the additional heat( halving the cooking time) has took the same recipes to a new dimension .

;D ;D ;D
