Well I'm intrigued.... what was that small white thing dropped in at 05:04 and the white liquid which follows at 05:11?

Up to that point you had followed almost exactly what I know of as the IFFU pre-cooked chicken recipe (but without getting to the chicken part!), which I've always found gives quality BIR flavours to whatever I cook that way. It's a great way of getting good flavour into precooked potato for Bombay aloo, you just add the pots and toss in the oil, then top the pan up with water and parboil. Potato really soaks up flavours and the effort involved is rewarded when you make your Bombay aloo after.

So this must be a reasonably generic BIR method. Still interested to know what those two late additions were though :)

I don't know why but I still can't view the vindaloo vid, the jalfrezi is fine. This is on ipad. I have noticed the links appear to be formatted differently, the second one has "edit" in the link text?

Jalfrezi vid is looking good but is it just me who can't see the vindaloo video?  The picture quality from that phone cam looks great by the way, very impressive

Apparently my small house stinks of curry although I only notice in kitchen!

Anyway to the point; any recommendations to eliminate/minimise the curry smell?

I can't vouch for them as I've never used one, but you might consider this product:

George continues his one man mission to destroy the credibility of this site. Amazing.

It's truly outstanding UB - I've been eating more of your chilli lately than curry and made yet another big batch (6 litres) in the slow cooker this weekend!

Not being funny mike, but you're replying to a post in which Ken has said he will never divulge anything!

Glad some of you are liking it  8)

I think I'll have a crack too. A faithful reproduction is going to be hard due to the use of the red masala sauce and precooked onions and peppers, which we don't have a firm recipe for. Nonetheless the core proportions of sugar, lemon and chilli are there to see, and those are the defining sweet, sour and hot ingredients for this Pathia. Worth a try I think.

This thread by Mick Crawford might help solve pastry problems. Pretty ingenious idea!

Interesting naga, very industrious of Mick to make his own. It inspired me to go searching and I found these:

Samosa Moulds (2pcs)

Not sure how effective they are and there's no size detailed, which makes it hard to know if they're worth trying. Still leaves me wondering how to speed through the pastry rolling stage though. I like the idea of a big tortilla or puri press though.
