Stew, looks really good.

I have it on my to-do for the weekend to try your Jalfrezi with the BE base.

QuoteBB - Interesting. What about the "smokey taste" and "last 5%" we are missing?

It wasn't there. I'll leave it to others to speculate but the restaurant has just opened.

That would definitely suggest to me that oil may play a role as well as well-used pans etc.

Anyone else agree?

BB - it would probably be worth trying that Madras again in a few weeks or so.

I use Red. Prefer the taste a little.

Could it be because their equipment is new and unseasoned, or the oil hasn't really had time to infuse with other things they are frying (if indeed those things have an impact)

Curious to know what you think...

Great post! Brave first try with the pics and all for that many people.

Fantastic.

Looks awesome. Great job BB!

Yes that's definitely the plan. To let him know that I've been at this a while and use the base+curry method he uses. That way he'll be more inclined to be precise rather than just ramble off the ingredients.

Scotty,

He doesn't seem to have an email address, which is not a surprise. But I'll do some more googling, because that was my first idea.

I was planning on calling him this weekend or Monday.

Will report back either way.

Jerry - did you reach any conclusions on the use of reclaimed oil vs fresh?

Kind of multiple experiments going on there, I'm a little challenged to net it out.
