Just ordered the 26 amazon one cheers for the link free delivery with amazon as well

Not in stock though are they, 'Usually dispatched within 2 to 5 weeks'?

That's what put me off getting one from there, because from experience with Amazon, that doesn't guarantee you'll actually get one.



Not really sure why I want to get one anyway, I've had perfectly good results and am very happy using my Heavy duty 24cm copper bottomed Stainless Steel pan. : ;D

Is ?15.54 a good price for one of those pans?

Only asking because I was just going to get one until I saw the final price with VAT and delivery added.

I see Lidl have the 5kg bags of Trophy Basmati Rice back in stock.
At ?5.49, not too bad a price for the 5kg.


I've got some, from the last time they had it in, and have had no problems at all making good and tasty Pilau Rice with it.

Just thought I'd give an heads up if anyone is interested.

Cheers
Martin

Cheers Martin, let me know how that works out?

Hi natterjack

Just PM'd you.

Martin

Hi natterjack

Don't know the base and recipe you were using, but as for the excess oil, how much oil did you put into the pan to start with?

Is the base an oily one?

Were the onions/peppers pre-cooked/fried?

Were any other oily ingredients like the Bunjara/onion paste added?

I've found all these add oil to the curry, so I think sometimes you have to compensate for these when cooking.

If it's an oily base I don't put too much oil into the pan to start with - 1 to 1 1/2 Tblsp.
Normally I only use about 2 Tblsp of oil max, with a low oil base.

If you pre-cook/fry veg don't use too much oil, or remove as much as possible before use.

When I made the Bunjara I skimmed off as much oil as possible from it before jarring it up.
Even then I still tipped out more oil after it had settled in the jar for a bit.
Must add I didn't store it in the jar so no oil was added on top, I froze it shortly after.
The oil was put into a small jug and allowed to settle, so any bits sunk, and only the clear oil from the top was used to start a curry.


Anyway hope that helps, that is just my way of doing things, it might not be totally correct, but I don't like my curries with too much oil, so you have to skim it off the final dish.

Hi Paul

Thanks for the link, buuuut that is the same ones that I posted the link to myself earlier in this thread.
I believe they are the only ones on ebay at the moment too, so none in small packs.

Do appreciate you going to the trouble of trying to help out though.




natterjack - have ordered some of them so will let you know when they arrive.
If you've got some by then and don't need them, no problem at all.

Cheers
Martin

What about this, especially after reading the topic Axe linked?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00432JB9M/ref=nosim/?tag=hotukdeals-21

Badshah Basmati rice has been aged for one year to ensure fluffy, elongated grains and improved separation. It is nurtured in the ?rice bowl? region at the foothills of the Himalayas where the unique soil and climate produce the world?s most splendid rice. Nourished by crystal clear snow fed streams and carefully harvested by hand, these long aromatic grains create a fluffiness and flavour which, when cooked, knows no equal.

Good reviews for it too

Martin

You can buy small packs on Ebay easily

Paul

Sorry Paul, but I'd like to know where?

The ones I listed were the only Indian/Cassia Bay leaves I could find on there.




Natterjak - I've asked another seller on there, who I buy quite a bit from, if he can get hold of them. I'll let you know.

If not I may buy the ones listed, and if all goes ok and you still need some, we could go halves and I'd post them to you.

Martin

I presume these are the correct type, well judging by the picture anyway?
