Hi Corry

That pic looks about the same as my finished dish when it was first done like i say it had become thicker when i came to use it the dhansak but that didn't matter once base was added one final question i used the natural pineapple juice out of a tin of chunks do you use this or actual cartoned pineapple juice

cheers

Hi

Made this tonight was very tasty but having never had one before so didnt have anything  to compare it to so i'll be having one next time i'm out just one question not sure i got the lentils right not the flavour  more the texture having made them last night when i came to use them tonight they were a bit dryer than when i put them in  the fridge are they supposed to stay hole or blend into the final dish ?

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Why do People Join this Forum?
November 19, 2010, 07:11 AM
HI

The reason i joined was that for years i had been making curry but the only recipe books i had were more of a home style cooking than BIR cooking so when i came across this site i thought i could learn allot about restaurant style cooking and i was not wrong since i joined i have learned so much from using bases to spice mixes to basic techniques so i thank everyone on the site for that.

Hi

Would you agree that age has a part to play in all of this I'm 32 and have been eating bir curries for about 15 years so i guess my first taste of a bhuna could be different to that of someone who started in the  70's and 80's as changing  styles, ingredients and shortcuts have been introduced over the years.
I suppose what i mean is that the recipes on here are close to as good as to days bir curries but some of the older members who ate them in the 70's and 80's may have a different perception of what a bhuna should taste like to what i and others may think they should taste like. But that's what its all about different opinions makes the curry world go round.
