I really wish I knew, J2K.  There was a time when I would swear by the Agra in Whitfield Street, but it's now owned by the next generation and seems to have completely lost the plot.  Over to others, I'm afraid.

I've only been offered the choice of curry sauce or vegetable curry as an integral part of a BIR biriani in one location (Yak & Yeti, Truro) and even there I missed the opportunity to accept the curry sauce.  Almost invariably, in my experience, a BIR biriani is accompanied by a vegetable curry (which I invariably leave).

Quote from: Secret Santa on December 11, 2024, 10:19 AMI'd laugh but my face is in a constant state of torpor for the same reason.

You need to munch on some Pringles more frequently, Santa ...

Quote from: Secret Santa on December 10, 2024, 07:57 PMI can barely remember, or even find, stuff I've posted a couple of weeks ago sometimes.

Classic symptoms of a diet with inadequate salt and ultraprocessed-food content !

The Oriental version (in a tin) or the cubes, Livo ?  I use the former but not the latter, preferring the chicken stock pots for western chicken dishes.

it wouldn't be too difficult to whip up a homemade lamb stock

Agreed, which I invariably do.  But it always includes a Knorr lamb stock pot, because they are so d@mned good !

"What fraction" remains unanswered, Santa ...

"Concentrated lamb stock (66%)(water, lamb)" is hardly "ultra-processed junk", dear boy ...  If you look at the ingredient list again, tell me honestly what fraction you identify as "ultra-processed junk".

I must admit, I was not particularly impressed when I tried Kallo, but to answer my own question in re Knorr stock pots :

Quote
Ingredients:

   Concentrated lamb stock (66%)(water, lamb),
   salt,
   palm fat,
   sugar,
   yeast extract,
   flavour mix [flavourings, flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate)],
   potassium chloride,
   gelling agents (xanthan gum, locust bean gum),
   garlic,
   herbs (rosemary†, thyme†, parsley†),
   carrots†,
   sunflower oil,
   onion juice concentrate†,
   caramel syrup,
   maltodextrin,
   parsley roots†.

† Sustainably grown

Looks pretty good to me ...

Could you do the same for Knorr stock pots, Santa, without which I cook virtually nothing (including cull yaw biriani) savoury at all ...
