Yeah, didn't someone post a picture of a 70s menu here at some point?

I remember phall had an odd name; what was it now. Banglaphall or something?

I do believe we actually had one SS.  Maybe even more than one over the years.
Some tough rubbery marinated chicken pieces, off the bone, done in the tandoor (or under the grill on skewers) anybody?

Mmmm bombay duck   

And chicken off the bone? You must pay 25p extra 

Blast from the past! 

I agree. Basically the rule of thumb is (very roughly) the stronger the flavour (i.e. the more impact on the finished dish the ingredient has) the less well it will scale (up or down).

Excellent blog Romaine. Just FYI, you have permission to use more than an average of five words per sentence And there is more punctuation available than just a full-stop.  ~~~~

In Romain's (note no e  ) defence he is running a blog that could be read by people who get short of breath so he is probably keeping them in mind, also you can have far to much Grammarmasala in a recipe you know

Yeah!  good one    FWITW, I meant what I said about the blog, the recipes are awesome. Just that the prose is a little...Gatling gun     But we wouldn't have it any other way.

E.g., Turkish cuisine often calls for onion juice, which is a complete bark (pissing about wringing out raw onions etc), but that nuking technique might be just what I'm looking for (as a paste rather than juice, but hoping there's little difference in the end product).

(And apologies for the Romain+e, I must've been thinking of lettuce!)

If you don't have the freezer space or just don't want to make a big batch of base there's a way that comes close to restaurant style. IMO it will get you 80 percent of the way there and you can make it one curry at a time.

You can check it out here.

Swap the chicken for paneer in  this recipe and you'll have a pretty good saag paneer.

Hope you find something that works for you. Ultimately, if you get into BIR you'll wind up finding a way to make a big batch of curry base. It's a rabbit hole I've fallen down certainly.

Birmingham in the late 70s. Or to quote Alan Partridge, "men in platform shoes getting arrested for bombings"   

QuoteI have been to Goa three times and just got back from Candolim, Goa yesterday.  I was able to get 3 recipes from the restaurants who were only to happy to help.  I will try them out over the next week.

WOW nice one Sam, this sounds really great! looking forward to this.

and others to talk about them 

After all, every artist needs their audience!

I never thought I'd say this, but




You're absolutely right, George
