I agree, which is why I have already apologised to Porchy for my initial assessment of his contribution, but I did not moderate his post without careful thought

Spices / Finger crushing dried fenugreek leaves
« on: November 08, 2019, 01:54 PM »
Just seen a video where the chef placed emphasis on crushing the leaves with your fingers as it increases the flavour much the same as when you tear tej patta leaves before dropping them into the pan, does anyone do this as a matter of course when cooking a curry?

Poaching your pre-cook chicken eliminates the water problem altogether.

Most animals wet themselves when they spot a Poacher :Clown:

just checked on the Booker website, the chicken is packed in the uk so i suppose the origin could be elsewhere, but it states no added water

I buy my chicken fillets at bookers in 5kg packs, im sure they a coated in a brine solution which appears to improve their appearance, Julian Voight refers to this when he says wash the chicken and it will change colour, it does, also the surface tension seems to change as well, the surface appears to become more floppy if that makes sense.
I will be buying another pack later so i will check any labels on it.

The forum seems to be a tad fragile of late, sometimes there sometimes not, so just incase it does vanish i will say adios now rather than get caught out.  Oooh, what's this pineapple looking thin :boom: :)

As for getting started or new ideas checkout Latif's Inspired..

It's going off topic but I can't let that one pass. New ideas ... seriously?  His curries are bog-standard fare you can get anywhere, not least of all from this forum. It's great that he's adding to the Youtube curry-fest that now exists but if only he'd done it ten years ago it would have been novel and possibly even new. But now, not so much.

I agree with your comments,


Its strange, comments from family and friends enlighten me as to how far i have come when it comes to creating and cooking a curry, yet reading through this site reminds me how little i know, we are all on a journey, This forum and youtube serve as a springboard for many.
