Been chating to a bangladesh chef about his tandoor and his awesome smokey flavoured tikka, I told him i use a nipoori but cannot get the tikka as smokey as his, he went on to tell me not to use your common bbq charcoal but to use carbon monoxide free charcoal???, im a bit puzzled, is there such charcoal? surley anything that burns releases carbon monoxide, someone please enlighten me.

Also he mentioned something about his charcoal is part burnt or something like that, he was a bit hard to understand but seemed keen to help.

Cheers

Hi Fishy

Ask him to show you a bag. I would imagine its restaurant charcoal which is far better quality than the b&q type crap that we are used to

G'day Mick
I use a stick blender to mix it back in thoroughly and then it is evenly distributed amongst all your portions.
Hope this helps

Heh Whandsy & Mick

I take your point. I have not tried using one...and as you say it depends what you are trying to get out of all this.
My goal is to try and replicate a BIR curry like the ones I used to enjoy in the late 70s & 80s. Its a bit of a strange goal though because I know I can make far tastier curries than I currently do by using fresh garlic etc, but thats not my aim

I have bought one, but am waiting to finish my current stock of base.

This pressure cooker stuff seems to me to be another red herring. It cant be normal BIR practice otherwise it would be well documented. I think you are all very brave to try this technique but also think you are all wasting your time & money. Good Luck peeps :)

I see that Abdul hasn't updated the thread for a while, but I hope he comes back to it as his help and advice are very much appreciated.

Yes I agree with you naga. His enhanced gravy is the biz

If i wanted to learn authentic electric blues guitar, i wouldn't be looking towards eric clapton and gary "pleaseno" moore.
I would start with Their hero's and influences and listen to the likes of Freddy and BB king and beyond. 

Frank.  ;)

Thats a clever analogy. I suppose traditional Indian cooking could be termed Authentic Indian cooking; and BIR is more of a modern twist on the more authentic or traditional style of cooking.... but I dont get the point you are making Frank?

Sorry  ???
