Whatever the result, I've enjoyed the read and I'm sure I'll enjoy dishes produced with the base.  Thanks for posting MDB.

Morning CH

Its tinned chopped tomatoes, although It probably doesn't matter too much

Thanks for trying the base

Kind Regards

Mick

One positive about the base, it has at least woken up the sleepy cr0 crew and kick started the forum for a while

Hi Rob

There is only one sure fire way of removing excess oil from a curry and thats a centrifuge hahaha

The oil colour looks spot on as well Rob

You'll appreciate this Robbo.  I couldn't resist the upgrade and bought myself an early Christmas present.  I came upon an advertisement for this.  It's a near new 22" Fornetto Razzo, with loads of additional accessories and nearly Aus $200 worth of lump charcoal, briquettes and smoking wood (Mesquite, Apple, Cherry and Pecan) starter chimney, cover etc.  I simply could not let it pass.  The previous owner is an American who has been out here for 18 years and has just returned home to Alabama. His wife (an Aussie) is tidying up over here before she joins him.

I pretty much paid only the price of the consumables, so everything hardware was essentially free.  I could not believe my luck.  Anyway, I only picked it up today but I've already bought a beef brisket, which I will prepare with a rub tonight, allow it to sit in the fridge for a day, and then light a fire first thing Saturday morning.  I was told that with the large fire basket and properly set, this thing will burn at good temperature for up to 14 hours.  That's a bit different to a tandoor but I can't wait to tuck into a slow cooked Mesquite smoked Brisket.

Wow awesome setup. I would love to have the recipe for the brisket when youve cracked it

Cheers

Mick

not totally convinced it will work as there are gaps in the corners. i ordered 8" mesh to suit the 10" pan. there is a 10" mesh if the 8" passes muster but not quite perfect.

Tried this a few years ago with very limited success.

Good Luck

I was watching one of those "life hacks" compilation videos on Bookface the other day, and they simply tossed a couple of tampons into the pan to mop up the excess oil. Worked a treat

I quite like mustard in some currys

Bengal Gardens by the Boldmere pub was our goto curry house in the early 80s!


When in my as hot as possible phase (10 years ago) the Bengal Gardens' Chicken Ceylon came highly recommended.  Very good spiky curry.  Wonder if they are still going.

Rob

It has completely gone Im afraid. Looks like a bomb hit the place

Jerry -  I tend to faff around with the curry in the pan at the end of cooking and catch what I can with the spoon. Invariably some sauce gets removed as well but I just tip it all into the gravy pot anyway rather than bin it

I know you used to like currys from Highbridge Rd Erdington. I always found them really good but really oily as well! Bengal Gardens by the Boldmere pub was our goto curry house in the early 80s!
