Welcome to the forum 

Welcome to the site Starman,

Let us know how you get on with the recipes 

Hi leodido,

It will make a batch of sauce so use what you need for your curry then freeze the rest in curry size portions.

I'm sure that, if it is done in a BIR, it can be reproduced at home...and probably with more consistent and reproducable results.

The question is how?

I have been told on a number of occasions that oil is not reused, wether or not they are telling the truth I don't know.  I used to use my own 'spiced oil' in the past and it never made that much of a difference, not enough to bother scooping it out and storing it separately every time.  After Haldi's experiments above I have an open mind and it would be intresting to see if anyone could reproduce this BIR oil.  

Excellent pic's as always CA, how did you find the Ashoka recipes compared to your usual?

I don't think you replicate it at home due to the volumes a fully running BIR will go through.  It's not like a base recipe that you can scale down, the amount of oil that gets used\reused in a nights cooking must be a few months worth at home. You could keep topping up your spiced oil with oil from finished curry's but as said it would take weeks before you got anywhere near the amount of times a BIR would do it in just one night.

Great stuff Stew, what did you think of Ashoka recipes?

I added about a 1/2tbs of Patak's Madras curry paste just because I had it on hand. 

Next time try it without the Patak's, I would have thought half a tablespoon would have altered the flavor quite a bit.
