no Les it's not the same as baking powder.

My stupid fault SL, I meant to say baking soda, doh,
Oh well, 8/10 for trying. must do better ::)

Down in the south-west here, it's known as Soda Crystals, and you can get them at any supermarket. Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose. etc. etc.

And NO SL, it's different to  bicarbonate of soda ;) also called  baking powder. wouldn't  like to put soda crystals in my scones ;D don't think her in doors would be very happy with me.

Les, Are you sure you were eating Birmingham Baltis before they were created.
Southwest Balti from the 60's, certainly a new angle on the subject. :)
Hi chewy,
A bit of a senior moment there I think, I can't remember putting in the 60s duh. but I don't think they would have been Birmingham balti's, not in Bath anyway. but definitely cast iron, probably balti in name only, (like so many are today) back then we didn't know any different.

I can't say I recognise the steel pan. I'm fairly sure the khyber has only used cast iron pan/balti dish. The adil seemed to me to use the same cast iron.


You are right Jerry, Way back in the day's [60s/70s/80s] when I first started having curry's, Balti was always served in a cast iron pan/dish, and that was down here in the southwest. so I would imagine it was pretty standard all round.

According to this young lady, Ginger/Garlic paste will stay fresh for 2-3 months in the fridge, without losing it's colour, if you do it her way, might be worth a shot ;)

I ain't no expert Jerry, but I believe that Methi should not be used in base or mix powder, However if you watch Dip's vid's (which I can't find at the minute), He always adds methi when cooking his final curry,
