Hi iceman, thanks for the thumbs up.

Go for frozen garlic and ginger, much better and very cheap/good value

I blanch peppers, to combat tough skin, especially green, but not always

Most BIR curries are cooked Bhuna style, just depends how saucy you like it.
Here's my old vid of a restaurant pickle curry, cooked Bhuna style/fairly dry .

A nice Bhuna even without the pickle, if you haven't got any.

this may sound a daft question but how do you par cook the peppers and how long thanks.

Hi Everyone have a couple of questions I just found this http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=267144449
in my local Tesco store do you think it will be ok.

My other question is par cooking peppers for a bhuna is it needed or should I just throw them in the pan and fry them with the onion and g/g paste and if chewy reads this as I had great success with your recipes do you have a bhuna recipe my Friend  ;D

And Thanks again for a great site

Chris

Hi a made a batch of CT 1 hour base sauce in the pressure cooker and i must say it was amazing my first curry was a korma for the wife and she said it tasted like a takeaway result  ;D thanks CT for the base and thanks CA for the korma recipe.
The question i wondering do you lose any tastes or spices using the pressure cooker i have read else where that steam can kill some of the spices is this true.

yes was full but looked ok in the container

Hi I am new to this forum but I must say i am so impressed with this site. As a lover of currys for many years I never thought i could unlock that takeaway taste but thanks to you I am sure i can crack it.

I been trying a new curry house, the curries are amazing in taste but leak alot of liquid it looks like water just wondering why is this and is there a reason this happens.
