Hi George and ELW,

Thank you for your comments; I would like to clarify, there is more than one type of gravy in the BIR industry. There is no ?right? or ?wrong? gravy. They are basic or advanced. The reason I wrote the Basic Gravy in such a way is that I do not want to confuse anyone who has just started cooking BIR recipes for the first time and make it difficult for them. Thus I simplified the steps to allow the person to develop their skills and to be confident to then move onto and attempt another stage (Just as we do in life we learn the basics and then progress to the next stage).

The BIR industry is so large that I could not possibly have it all in one book (without having to hoist it with a crane :-\) and that is why I started with Volume I.  Everyone needs practice to achieve that standard of BIR they wish to achieve even through the many years of searching some still cannot find it.

I hope you understand the reason why I broke down the steps.

The Gravy and dishes are real, the more you practice, you will eventually taste the difference.

I had only joined 6 months ago,

The gravy is a real recipe, the enhanced gravy is an additional aspect which my team have sent to my customers if they wish to try.

The gravy which I use at my workplace is purely based on my customers preference, at home I use exactly the same gravy in my book and if I feel like using the enhance recipe, then I do so. I have not had any problems with the result as I do invite many guests to taste the recipes I cook with the basic or enhanced gravy.

I voluntarily joined cr0, to share my knowledge as I had mentioned at the beginning, who enjoy BIR recipes. My book is real, I am real and everyone who has purchased my book I guarantee you if they follow my steps they will achieve that BIR taste they are looking for. Sorry your figures do not add up, I am not here to add up your figures, I was here to genuinely help people who would like to achieve that BIR taste and add their personal touches to it. I had a few good plans for new year but it seems like it may not be possible to as this is not the first time my help has been questioned in more than a negative way.
Good Luck searching for the BIR taste.

Abdul,
A question if I may please, You use Rajah Garam Masala yes, Do you add anymore spices to the Rajah Garam Masala mix, or do you use it as it comes in the bag?, if so What, Just curious to know. and do you or any of your fellow chef's ever use Jalpur Garam Masala?

Les

Hi Hotstuff09,

No I do not add anymore spices to the Rajah brand because I have tried with a few different brands but have found Rajah the best.

No I have not used Jalpur Garam Masala, I will ask around once I have some time to.

I only use Abdul's "Enhanced Gravy Recipe" when making his recipes now it is very close to one of my local takeaways, the Garlic Chilli Chicken, Chicken Madras, Achari Chicken, Chicken Bhuna and the Chicken Sagwala is just heaven and Lamb Keema with Peas is an excellent dish, i also have to say the Pumpkin and Carrot Jalfrezi was a complete surprise to me and a wonderfully spicy dish with no meat, enjoyed this immensely.
The Enhanced Gravy adds an extra depth to the flavour of the curries/dishes.

Have I missed this being posted? Where is the recipe for abdul's enhanced base sauce?


Hi Natterjak,

No you have not missed anything; I have not post it yet but will hopefully do next year. :) Hopefully by then, anyone who has made my basic gravy recipe, will have had enough practice to take it further.

Hi Unclefrank, thank you for sharing that information, I am delighted that you are happy with the results you are getting, just would like to add one thing; the more you practice, the closer you will get to achieving the BIR taste and I am sure, very soon, you will achieve that!  :)

Tip: Spend a little bit of extra time with the tarka, cooking the masala and finishing the curry.

If you would like any other help then let me know.  :)

Hi Abdul

"I do not use basic gravy, I use well advanced gravy; the simple reason is because my customers are 98% asian and they do not like any sweetness at all. So I use all the above items in different stages of making the gravy."

If you don't mind, can you answer a couple of queries that this from your last post raised in my mind?
1.  What's the difference between 'basic gravy' and 'advanced gravy'?
2.  You mention using items like yoghurt, lemon juice, fresh and plum tomatoes 'in different stages of making the gravy.'

I've been making batches of your base gravy since you first posted the recipe and don't recall either of these 2 appearing.  Have I missed something.............or are you talking about something completely different?  It may be that I have simply 'lost the thread'!

Thanks

Hi Alarmist,

Thank you for your question, the gravy recipe which I had posted on here was basic so that everyone can start making it and practice. There are a few different types of gravy in the BIR you can make which we all have touched upon. I am hoping next year I will add another type of gravy which has more stages and involves the other items.

I specifically use an advanced gravy because of my customers strong preference.

Basic gravy is what I have posted and Advanced gravy has more stages to it which after you taste, will be different from a Basic gravy. However, it will be up to you whether you wish to stay with either gravy.
