The usage of olive oil is not really BIR, then again, the curry guy is known for his traditional takes.

I think he used Ghee.  The olive oil was my choice, as keen to use something I think is healthier and tbh I've never noticed any difference between olive oil and other things.

Btw, upon re-reading my post I feel somewhat awkward. I didn't meant to say it in a bad way, but trying to point out that BIRs don't use olive oil. I do a lot of concoctions and break the BIR rules too. I also had the chance to see one of his videos in which he used olive oil on his korma by accident! I've enjoyed the video and I'm sorry if I sounded arrogant

No worries, no offence was taken.  I've read plenty of posts on this forum to know when someone is having a go (gets somewhat childish at times).  Thanks for your updated post though :-)

Well. Appreciating that this is work in progress and notwithstanding the effort that goes into videoing this. -  Have we learnt anything? No. Do we care? No.
Why not?
This guy is a genuine curry loving forum member, willing to share his efforts with the rest of us 'pretenders'.

Well done.

Cheers RudyDoo!  Yes, certainly not an educational piece, just me sharing my trials and tribulations on the journey to the pantheon of the curry gods!

Intro - a quick look at my setup for the day ahead:

Match Report.

6 hours cooking and an hour cleaning up! 

The curries were:

Chicken Korma (The Curry Guy) - 7/10
Chicken Korma (Kris Dhillan) - 6/10
Chicken Tikka Masala (My recipe) 9/10 :-)
Chicken Jalfrezi (Julian Voigt) 6/10
Lamb Keema (The Curry Guy) 6/10
Lamb Keema (Stephen Lindsay CRO) 7/10 (after amending!)
Lamb Rogan Josh (The Curry Guy) 8/10
Lamb Rogan Josh (Julian Voigt) 7/10
Lamb  Tikka Masala (My Recipe) 8/10

Lessons learnt - I like my curries spicey (not hot, just bags of spice and flavour), often recipes were under spiced and I had to throw more in.
Trust your judgement - you know what you like, so a quick look at a recipe should tell you if its what you will enjoy, in my case the ones that looked under spiced were!
Cover your entire kitchen in silver foil to save time afterwards :-)
