Hi

Congrats on successful upload. The curry in the picture looks the biz 

I also notice you have the pre-requisite splatterings all over the cooker too! - good work 

Hi Chris

If Az is willing to do some kind of main & sides course please can you put me on the list.

Thanks again for making any of this possible!

Regards

Hi Chris,

Go for it, there'd be many that would buy it, me for one. As you saw from the lessons, many people can't get to them unfortunately and it would be the next best thing.

Do the book and a DVD/video series making the dishes and the gravies, masala's etc

There is a market for it for sure as there is nothing as yet that shows exactly how it should be done.

Cheers,
Mark

I have to agree. That is a tremendous idea. He has quite a performers personality and would be very video friendly I think. I wonder whether he would consider it?

Cheers

Read a couple of reviews, and it unfortunately does not sound very promising
Quote from one reviewer:

I made the Tikka Masala and followed it to the letter. The main problem with this book is lack of any base curry sauce which is essential in BIR curry. Instead most use a puree of onion. I was sceptical but carried on with an open mind. Unfortunately the curry was extremely dry as you would expect without any sauce and just spices.

I'm sorry to say it's what I've come to expect of you - a near total distortion and misrepresentation of the apparent facts. Amazon shows 10 reviews on 5 stars, 1 on 4 stars and 1 on 2 stars.  So you took a quote from the one on 2 stars!

Stop bullying me George.

This is not your forum.

You have gone out of your way to troll in this instance. You were actively looking for a way to attack me.

Leave me alone now.

Hi UF

You certainly are cooking a good variety of dishes!

Just hope your family and / or guests appreciate the vast volumes of great looking grub you are turning out!

A tablespoon of veg oil contains 120 calories, so 60 calories per person isn't too horrifying (to me, anyway) when you consider you're using lean cuts of chicken or meat that's served in what is essentially a spicy vegetable soup.

Compared with a Big Mac meal, damn healthy, in fact!

Hi SD

Good way of looking at it actually! with the bonus that you do indeed know mostly which parts of an animal have gone in to your curry too!

Which is more that I could say for the 2 quarter pounders with cheese in one sitting, while noticing half way through the second that they are > 500 calories a pop!

Cheers

Hi chillipopper

Would say, welcome, but you have been here for ages already - so warm hello

Really pleased you got something out of the cooking lessons with Az stuff!

Cheers

Hi

1. Do you use yeast in naans or no yeast - a) Yes

2. Do you prefer the taste of naans with yeast in to those without - a) Not sure, but they taste fine with.

3. Do the majority of takeaways use yeast or no yeast - a) No idea sorry.

Cheers

Hi benbob

Welcome

May I also take the liberty of recommending ChewyTikkas - Tarka Dhal (https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5738.0) also. I make this a lot and it is quick, easy & superb.

Please don't let me dissuade you from trying the Blade version. I have made that twice a while back and it was very nice too. Seem to remember having some scaling issues with it though. Even the cut down version making a monster portion - which is not necessarily a bad thing.....

Cheers
