Lets Talk Curry / Re: A heathier alternative to Vegetable Oil?
February 03, 2013, 12:38 PM
At the risk of sounding totally boring, what oil do BIRs use?
Oil, it seems to me, is becoming (has become) prohibitively expensive (for whatever reason).
It also seems to me that, like many other things, the debate on "which oil is healthiest for you?" (read "least unhealthy") goes around and around.
It also seems to me that things like rice bran oil and peanut oil are very prohibitively expensive (at least twice as much as simple vegetable oil).
So, why not stick to what BIRs generally use (i.e. simple vegetable oil or, for the posh and health conscious ones, sunflower oil)?....if you wish to reproduce their results...health risks and all?
It seems to me that these sorts of changes are amongst the very reasons why BIR curries are apparently very different from (and not as good as) those of yesteryear.

Too many people playing silly little games, it seems to me, at the moment.
Surely the title of the book is the last thing you should worry about. Surely it is the content that should define the book...and, therefore, the title...the title is probably the last thing to worry about...at the end of writing the book.
Anyway, all these innuendos, boring. Just write the damned book.

Hi Rallim,
Yes, I do believe this is the one recently opened and owned by one of our very own members - "Aussie Mick" (a British expat).
Haven't tried it, yet, but will hopefully be paying a visit very soon!
Nice looking menu Mick!
"Chicken Tikka Masala Phal"...hmmmm, now that DOES sound very familiar!

Cooking Methods / Re: First try with the new pressure cooker disaster!
January 30, 2013, 12:36 PM
Apparently, a preoccupation with minutia is a symptom of those with Asperger's Syndrome George....I read it on the forum somewhere recently...
How may BIRs use a pressure cooker anyway?
