I like it, thanks for sharing pr0tax.
What I noticed and I'm not sure its down to some post-editing, your camera or your microwaves method (or a combination) is that your rice has a very clean white look to it. Anything you would like to attribute it to?

C is indeed a language that requires careful handling and thought. I have a background in computer security and a particular interest in safe programming. I am quite a defensive programmer in general, regardless of the language I use. Security is not just about whether your language offers you a few primitives to safe-guard your memory use.  C is mostly used where performance and direct system control is required. Outside that, we use very little C. Of course, C is extensively used as a lot of what we do is hardware drivers. I agree with your point, but according to that logic C is as unsafe as is a santoku knife.

Blasphemer Phil.... I have not had a chance to play with C's ancestors, but I use C on a regular basis, along with python, which is my favorite prototyping tool. So elegant and simple!  I'm an embedded software engineer (read: hacker) at a telecom company that produces secure network communication equipment used by the 3 letter agencies and U.S military army. Nothing really amusing from a technological standpoint, just your average hardware gadget.

Great to see some IT folks around here too! I started VB and Pascal around the age of about 13 (~1998?) and it went from there, never attended College or Uni

Interesting similarities. I also started with pascal (no VB here though) and I hold no degree. I was 16 back in 98 though. I wish I had been more responsible to start my own business, something I still think of to this day.

I watched last night's the video from adey's chef cooking a balti... he adds a lump of balti paste, somewhere around 1.5-2 TBSPs of balti paste. I wonder if their customers notice the signature flavour that balti pastes have at those volumes?

Enjoy pr0tax, there's a good community of other like-minded professionals around here, including software developers. Given the pace at which they interact within the community and how they manage to make their own curries, it is safe to assume they don't work in the game industry.

Missed the marmite and ketchup there Bob...

Just happen to notice that this video contains a recipe attached, but it's sort of a home styled recipe. Perhaps it's a staff curry.

2 hpd desert spoons of panchforan? sounds like a lot.

RECIPE SHATKORA GOSHT
most popular dish from Sylhet, Bangladesh

2 tbsp. (mustard) oil
5 tsp. panchforan mix (mix of mustard seed, anise seed, caraway seed, fennel seed and fenugreek seed)

2 tsp. ginger paste
2 tbsp. rooh afza chilli sauce
2 tsp. coriander powder
1 lb. lamb (or beef), cut in cubes

Nice song Rich.. sent it to my gf this morning and it paid off ;-D

Listening to some bengali pop song which I first heard in a curry video.

Not adding much to the discussion, but the very first time I had indian food, there was kewra water in it. I later learned some people would mix the coloring with some kewra water.

p.s: Love the look of that curry. Spoon some of that oil aside for your next curry
