Hmm, translation from Australian required here, I think ... Anyone able to oblige ?

Of course, Santa — how on earth could I even hope to achieve a close emulation of the real thing if I stinted on a mere £28-99 for the key ingredient ?!

I do have such a burner (in the garage) but I have never deployed it — perhaps it's time I did so !

Balti Dishes / Re: BIR-flavoured baltis
July 06, 2022, 05:54 PMQuote from: Bob-A-Job on July 06, 2022, 04:48 PMI was told 'Dopiaza' was loosely translated as 'Double Onions'... "Dupiaza" / "strong flavour of onions"... same dish or just a spelling mistake?
Same dish, and not a spelling mistake, since the original (دوپیازه) is written in a non-Latin script and can therefore be transcribed more or less as the transcriber chooses.

A chopper, Santa — real "burr" grinders start at about £23.

who is the moderator for this page as I would like to tweak my recipe slightly ie rounded tsp powdered spices and breaking up cassia into 1" max lengths ?
QuoteGround cassia - theres an idea. Can you buy it pre ground? I only have a mortar & pestle so washing an extra pan is less of a faff to me than bashing seven shades of s**t out with a m&pPossibly worth trying a £9.99 Lidl coffee grinder — I've yet to find anything with which mine can't cope ...

Thank you Mick. The chicken bhuna masala from "Fatima cooks" is next on my list to try, having had three uniformly awful bhunas from three local BIRs, after which I will be trying your recipe.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Inflation costs and effects longterm
June 16, 2022, 08:06 AM
The price of cooking oil has doubled in the UK since the start of the Russian war on Ukraine. Even if it rose by a factor of 1000% percent, the hardships that we might experience would pale into complete insignificance compared to those experienced by the people of Ukraine. We should therefore stop thinking of ourselves and the minor inconveniences that we are experiencing, think instead of the Ukrainians and the horrors being inflicted on them, and do everything in our power to bring this invasion to an end.
And don't even get me started on Priti Patel and her "We won't stand idly by while evil gangs put lives at risk" — she no more cares about "evil gangs" than she cares about the horrors of being deported to Rwanda — all she cares about is ensuring that as few migrants as possible end up in the UK, no matter how evil the régime from which they are fleeing or the horrors which they have already experienced. As the German ambassador said yesterday, Germany takes more refugees in a month than the United Kingdom does in a year.
With the present Government's stated intent to renegue on the Northern Ireland Protocol, with its further intent to deport genuine refugees to Rwanda, with Conservative MPs calling for the UK to withdraw from the ECHR, and with the total failure to take any responsibility for the goings-on at Partygate, I am increasingly ashamed to be British, an emotion that would have been unthinkable for me 20 years ago.
