i bet the guy doing the vids could give some quality lessons on indian cookery. will try this and report back. my list of things to try is reaching breaking point! not enough minutes in the day!

during a demo at my local bir ta, i noticed they put in around 7 - 9 tbs of oil. the whole of the frying pan is covered in a generous amount of oil. interestingly they dont add much oil to there base though. although its unhealthy, i recomend endorsing this approach. the curries are much better when lots of oil is added to the pan. how unhealthy is veg oil in this quantity? i would be interested to know as i am doing this 5 times a week !! no wonder the wasteline is growing 

Hi CQ, whats an easy way to start reclaiming oil, it sounds like the way ahead. do you just put a lot more oil in the final curry, and skim off some at the end. i am not keen on adding lots of oil to my base, as i like to keep it semi healthy. so am looking for an alternative, quick simple method to reclaim oil. cheer DD

that tiger prawn jalfrezzi sounds delicious. can anyone point me to the link for the recipe? ta

the ashoka lamb bhuna is one of my favs this past 2 months. but sweet sour dansak is my current fav this month. next month i want to crack the local ta's madras, its stunningly good. i am getting nearer each month. if i could replicate that, i would be chuffed to bits

i agree about that reverse enginering idea. it is feasable in theory. although i cant see it catching on

made this again the other day. family all said it was restaurant quality. its one of my favs for sure. try it if you have not already

now thats what i call a variation lol ;D

These all look great, will try as many as i can in next 2 weeks. that veg razalla looks a bit special UB! thanks also to haldi for that little gem. the simple bir recipies chefs sometime provide can be seriously goooood  ;D

i know its healthier sounding than a rogan josh dripping in oil ! , but would be interested to try a few veg curries. cheers DD
