Thanks for that little tip CC.

To Download this video and any other torrents that you find around the web, you will need a program to handle the download for you.

Here are a few commonly used programs:
1 http://www.bitcomet.com/
2 http://www.turbotorrent.com/
3 http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

I recommend getting 'bitcomet' as it seems the most compatible that i've tested so far.

Just download it and install it, then click on this: http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3387428 (With thanks to Blade1212)
then click on 'Download torrent' when it's finished just click open and it will start the download, you just have to tell it where you want to download it to.

Cheers CurryCanuck

I'll give that ago!

have you tried making the base sauce in a slow cooker? just wonder how it would turn out with whole spices being slowly cooked for hours?

Anyone have any BIR recipes for a slow cooker?
Is it even possible to cook a tasty BIR type of curry in a slow cooker?

Folks, can one of you detail how I would dry and grind fresh chillies, I presume I bung them in the oven to dry them then I can use my coffee grinder to grind them. What temp and how long in the oven?

Well the idea is to dry them and not cook them, so use the lowest heat possible, my oven goes down to 100c, and i've dried chillies cut in half for about 30mins, sometimes it takes longer depending on how much liquid there is in the chilli itself.

Just place the chillies on some tin foil in your oven on the lowest temperature and check after 30mins, then check again every 15mins until you find the right time for your oven and chillies. Just make a note for next time.

What restaurant was that John? I live in the Leicester area so I'd like to avoid it, although your dish sounds eerily similar to the worst food I've ever had, from the Akash on London Rd. I SWEAR the curry was out of a tin, really, I'm not even joking!

I think it could be the same place, its a white fronted building right next door to another tandoori, and its on the right hand side as you walk away from the railway station and away from the town, about 5min walk from railway station.

I agree on this, as there does seem to be some discrepancy around the country on different dishes...ie. in some areas madras is hotter than vindaloo where as Northampton curry houses the vindaloo is hotter than madras.

And i've had varied madras's. i even had a very poor one in leicester when it looked like the sauce was just microwaved and not fryed with the spices as you'd expect a normal dish to be, it just looked like base sauce and tasted like water. and that was from a restaurant Recomened by the "Curry Club" atleast thats what the sticker said in the window.

After speaking with some other friends, they too have said that they've had poor curries from places recommended by "Curry Club"

I brought some Habanero chillies (red and orange colour) from tesco then dried them in a very low oven for an hour, then i ground them to powder in a coffee grinder and they came out red/brown colour, Bloody hot chilli powder!!!! even darth would be proud to use this stuff.

Anyway i think they mainly use red chillies for chilli powder, chillies turn red when they ripen.

Good News everybody!!!!
