It looks to me as if naans are well and truly cracked.  That just leaves curries and tandoori/tikka !
** Phil.

If there was one aspect of Bir cooking that couldn't  be obtained at home, I'd have easily said 'nann bread'; however we been proven wrong.These are a 100% clone of bir nann.And the truth is, I was quite gobsmacked to say the least.
As Phil  says, that just now leaves the curries.

Is there any news on Chris' ebook?
Surely if an ebook was to come out, this recipe would've been kept back and given pride of place.
I really hope this isn't the case, as I've now all but given up on base curry.I really was pinning my hopes on the e-book.

Sluuuuurrp!

A little pinch here and there.The habit to employ is to constantly taste your food.You'll soon tell what is needed,if-as you say- it's needed at all.

i tried quorn chicken style pieces but i cooked it first in a mix and it fell to pieces.

any ideas or should i just force them all to eat meat!!!!

Hi diverdil .
It's best to add the Quorn to the curry at the final five minutes of cooking.
Prep the Quorn beforehand by -lightly frying in oil and some spice mix.

I never bother with Tofu;it's a bugger to marinade,but if you're keen on giving it a go my advise would to be freeze the tofu in advance.
Freezing changes the structure of the tofu,making it firmer and allowing more water to be squeezed out thus allowing  flavours/marinades to be absorbed easier.

We're vegetarians and I mostly use Paneer & veg in my currys.
The veg being:Peas,sweetcorn,chickpeas,chopped spring onion and a few pinches of mustard and cumin seeds.
I start off by lightly deep-frying the paneer then  set it to one side,while boiling the veg for 5 minutes.
Just before I cook the main curry,I then take a frying pan and cook the Paneer ,veg and add a  sprinkling of spice mix/curry powder.
Cooked Paneer soon goes hard after it's been cooked,so it's best used immediately in the curry after the final fry.

I've tried so many variations of veg,quorn,tofu etc, over the years,but this is the one I'm sticking too.

Good work,Alchemist .
Loved the video.

Edited the 1st post, hope it makes more sense.

I'm guessing it's the drink talking.

Looks very good.
Is there going to be a follow up recipe,or are you once again trying to provoke another slanging match onto the forum?

If it is the latter, then honestly mate,your sales pitch is in need of some serious renovation.
You will end up driving any potential custom away.

PS. Thanks for the recipe,spiceyokooko .
They're always appreciated.
