Lets Talk Curry / Vahchef Youtube videos, any good?
February 26, 2016, 05:58 PM
This geeza keeps popping up when searching for Indian videos, can anyone recommend any of his videos? Any good recipes?

Always looking for new stuff to try, and he seems to be teaching pretty authentic stuff.
Tried his Masala Dosa for breakfast and turned out well

It's selling well and I'm not here to justify myself.

out of the 12 Amazon "sales" only 2 are verified purchases. You said yourself that unverified were sent FREE PDF copies by you.
It justifies itself

Ok I do apologies. Next time I publish a book I'll consort your expert marketing advice. Some of you guys are obvious such curry experts that you couldn't possibly learn anything more. Discussion closed :)

Joining this forum reminds me of the time those two American hitch-hikers go into the Slaughtered Lamb pub in the film American Werewolf in London. lol.

LOL
Please do! It looks as though you need it.

This forum is filled with people that are experienced and passionate about BIR.
If they give out advice i would recommend taking it and not getting the arse and running away.
Did you think people would be bowing down to you and throwing money your way when you made that first post!?
What your offering is nothing new and far from value for money, good luck with that.

72 pages for ?10!? WHAT!?

I can print that off in 5 minutes myself for a hell of a lot less than you can provide it

In this day and age to go and say people prefer paperback and not even giving an option for digital download is a bit silly.
And old timers view in my opinion, as i rarely buy paperback anymore.
Excessive cost and takes up too much space when you buy lots of recipes books like myself.

Digital is easier to find certain recipes and references too, as most have a search and note feature.
Also Instant! I get excited when i come across a book that looks interesting and with an ebook i can have it open and testing recipes right away. I hate waiting for stuff to be delivered and having to pay for that service too.


Have you looked at google books as a platform for release?
I have downloaded hundreds of books of it and at reasonable prices. I don't think they take the mick with royalties like Amazon.

I have to agree with other members, we have such a deep resource of recipes and information on this site that ?10 for 72 pages of things most of us probably already know is too steep.

You should really sort out a digital release, you will struggle getting people to pay for what you are currently offering.

I struggle to convince myself to put a dash in some of my curries

Stinky stuff

I know a lad who drank a bottle (small one) of fish sauce and then spent the next half hour being sick much to the amusement of all us.  ;D

Watch that and sniff a bottle of thai fish sauce at the same time....Exorcist vomiting will follow

Lets Talk Curry / splitting the curry
November 13, 2015, 09:24 PM
Interested to hear people's opinions on this.

Obviously in BIR TA they reduce the curries until they split, which leaves lots of oil on top

Does everybody do this at home too? Or do some of you not reduce to that point and keep it saucy.
I am not a fan of the greasy mouth feel of most BIR.

Also has anyone else noticed many curry houses employing this method and serving saucier curries like i find lots in leicester?
