I was very specific about what recipe I used...Also, the debate about the oil rumbled on after the recipe was amended so I think my comment is actually valid, although clearly it touched a nerve for you.

But, as far as I can tell, you have even used only 80% of the oil (i.e. 800ml) specified in BB1's amended recipe (i.e. 1 litre - rather than the original 2 litres).  Or am I missing something?

So your comments are still invalid (and remain antagonistic, to say the least - to me, anyway).

And whatever happened to the "don't change a single thing, or it won't work!" rhetoric then?  :

For the record I used 800ml in the 5kg base to get the base used here

So you used only about 56% of the oil specified in BB1's original recipe then?

Seems to me that your comments on "oil slicks" and about "found it too oily" and "try again properly" are totally invalid then (as well as being more than a little antagonistic!)?

Oh my, talking about other topics in a "talk about anything other than curry" forum section?  Sacrilege! 

Here's the rub, in my opinion SP, when the more vocal members of this forum (and, therefore, the forum itself) spend most of their time posting about anything other then curries (not to mention posting pure claptrap) then the focus of this forum has been lost (in my opinion)!

Again, in my opinion, if people wish to discuss fine wines, etc, etc, then I think they should go elsewhere to discuss them.  There are, for sure, more appropriate places to dicuss them.

Contrast with a member of this forum (and I can think of only ONE) who has actually opened his own restaurant...and barely a murmur from said members.  Very sad, in my opinion.

That Naan looks perfect!

Doesn't it just! 

QED (you'll probably like that one Phil  )  :

Thank you Mick, I will definitely give that a bash! 

It is your opinion, SP, and that's fair enough. And I accept that.

But, as I said, this forum (in my opinion) is about freely sharing information with other members of this forum.  Many people readily do that, for no financial gain, whatsoever.  AND they don't put footnotes to their avatar proclaiming it! 

And then post innuendos and appear to be intent on doing otherwise...

All Happy now.

Not really, perhaps you can add the footnote "those that are truly knowledgeable will not share it but will charge for it"?  :

Don't worry Mick, they all seem preoccupied with discussing the virtues of Angus beef with dumplings, the ins and outs of weights on pressure cookers, the virtues of killing beasts and eating them, and where is best to purchase fine wines on line....etc, etc... :

But I am sure there are many others who are more than interested in your recipes and knowledge (as am I) and will very much take it all on board!

PS:  Like the rice, for instance, I couldn't detect the rose water, but it was nicely delicately flavoured.

PPS:  I am DEFINITELY interested in a good Butter Chicken recipe!  It's the one thing (in my opinion) that Aussie Indian Restaurants do well (and British don't seem to).

A bit harsh CA?

I don't think it is a bit harsh at all!

So many people on this forum willingly give their information for free (to help other members...which, as far as I can tell, is what this forum is all about).  AND they don't put that sort of footnote on their avatar!  :-X

Personally (and it IS my personal opinion), I do not believe this forum is a place for people to submit silly innuendos in order to market their wares for their own personal gain.
