Is this you Bob?  Aphrodisiac Balti.  Might have to bash one of these out.

He also does Shababs Baltis.  Not many views and I'd never seen this channel before.

Balti King visited this forum and made videos for Balti Gravy and Balti dish based 100% on MDB's Al Frash clone recipe.  Unless he is MDB, it is pure plagiarism.  The ingredient list and instructions are a direct clip and paste from the OP of this thread. Only bit missing is MDB's note about using 1" pieces of cassia.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Venison curry

I guess the list you give could be considered as game rather than stock.  I suppose I would put venison in the game category.  You are most likely correct to be surprised.

 :uh what:  Are you genuinely surprised Phil?  Having been involved in the "preparation" of many brace of rabbit, we always removed the feet. Having bought quite a few whole lambs, none of them had feet.  Hundreds of whole chickens have had no feet. A hindquarter of beef had no foot.  I've never bought a leg of lamb or pork with the foot still attached.  I hope my Christmas Ham is sans Ped this year.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Potentially good find on YouTube..?

I've watched a few of his videos a while back but don't recall cooking his dishes. 

As for Kashmiri Chillis, there will be no absolute certainty that what you buy, labelled as such, will be anything other than a chilli, although the shape is definitely more like the ones on the left.  It is most likely that anything we see labelled Kashmiri will actually be from Byadgi market.  The ones on the right of the photograph look like chillis I've grown called Indian lal mirch which simply translates to red chilli. 

Have a look at the handfull grabs this guy picks up.  We don't see these where I live.  I wish I knew what they are saying.

The necessity of soaking dried chillis is questionable.  There is absolutely no reason why you couldn't substitute fresh, or use powdered or even a blended product like MDH Deggi Mirch to achieve the flavour and colour desired.

Let us know how you find the dish once you've cooked it.

I rate the frozen Haldiram's Tandoori Naan. Frozen pack of 16 (4x4) for less than AUD $1 each compared to $5 for freshly cooked at the local and way easier than cooking from scratch.  The Roti Paratha I get from Aldi are branded Urban Eats and I really enjoy them.  They are fast and easy to cook on a hot tawa or crepe pan, from frozen, and taste great.

I've been mucking about with a few different Indian Egg (Anda) recipes, and this one jumped out of YouTube at me the other day.  I decided to give it a go this morning and I must say, that even though it's a bit of work for first thing in the morning, it is delicious.  I watched about a dozen video recipes and then just winged it.  I only cooked 2 eggs so I have half of the sauce in the fridge which will make tomorrow morning a quick easy breakfast.

Served with a Roti Paratha (frozen from Aldi). These are really good.

I did a forum site search for "Lababdar" before posting here, and there is a thread on Chicken Tikka Lababdar which I will now need to explore.  Very tasty gravy so I imagine it will be a pairing that works well.

PS: I would also highly recommend Bombay Eggs.  I didn't get to photograph this dish, but I'll be cooking it again.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Takeaway Costs
« on: October 22, 2023, 10:39 PM »
Your cost over there roughly equates to around AUD $85 - $90 and it would cost that much to get the same type of meal here.  A single main Curry dish is now AUD $21, up from around $13 only a few years ago.  The last time we bought T/A from the nearest local, we found that they had changed owners and now state that they make Home Style Indian Cuisine.  The dishes that we used to rely on were dreadful in both portion size and quality.  They claim to be the best Indian Restaurant in Town which isn't untrue as they are the only one.

I do a far better job making "Restaurant style Indian Cuisine" at home than they do making "Home Style" in a restaurant.  I don't bother to venture any further in search of better curry as it's here when I want to make it.

They have a huge range of Chilli seeds.  I hope you enjoy the real KRCP.

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Re: Who is Anna Botting?

She was just so aggressive towards him. Hardly an investigative journalistic approach and she wouldn't allow him to speak. He showed incedible restraint until he didn't.  Not to mention that she may have jumped to the wrong conclusion about the incident.  There are lots of calls out there now for her to go.

To be honest, I'd never heard of her.  Perhaps it wasn't her best work.  I don't have allegiance to either side Phil but that was a pretty good example of a crap interview technique. Old mate Piers has had a few tricky ones as well but at least he remains relatively calm.
