Topic: Video Curry Gravy

[pete]

I got a video showing the preparation of the curry gravy
I've written it down
Here it is:-
Base Sauce
2 ? lbs onions
1 bulb garlic
1 desertspoon salt
2 oz fresh ginger
2 tablespoon veg oil
2 ? pints water

Chop onions
Blend ginger and garlic with ? cup of the water
Put it all in a pot with the oil, salt and rest of the water
Bring to the boil then simmer for 40 minutes with the lid on
Stir occasionally
When cooled, blend
Take 2 cups aside for precooking chicken

1 small tin tomatoes blended
1 cup of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 desert spoon paprika
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 desertspoon garam masala

Put the blended tomatoes, oil, turmeric and tomato puree into a pan and bring to the boil
Add the pepper, paprika and garam masala, simmer 20 minutes
Remove any froth

Pete,

Can i get a copy if this video?
Is it from a Takeaway?
I can transfer it to the server and make it available for download for all to enjoy, use the Private Message function for details of where to send

Sounds like the recipe from the curry secret

[Mark J]

Yes, this is Kris Dhillons base sauce

Love to see the video though, any chance of ripping it to avi?  ;D

Actually this recipe is from The Balti Kitchen Video.
I bought all three of them
The first one is alright
The second and third repeat a lot and don't tell you what you really want.
I tried inputting my video to my computer to make a dvd out of them but I think I have insufficient RAM.
The sound kept going out of sync with the picture
Apart from the curry gravy there is little else worth knowing
I bought mine from Amazon about three months ago
I DON'T recommend them but they are interesting

Hi Pete,

I'd like to see the video also if it is at all possible to post it,

Cheers Pete,

I don't have the software to turn it to a small file
I did try transferring it onto a dvd but the sound went out of sync with the picture
The kitchen scenes are very sterile
Nothing like a restaurant or takeaway.
More like a Saturday morning cooking programme.
You don't get a closer result than what we already have

Pete - capturing analogue video to a PC is more trouble than it's worth in my experience. I've given up in favour of a standalone DVD recorder for the lounge, which only cost a bit over ?100. It makes a brilliant job of copying VHS tapes. The resultant DVD could then be manipulated on a PC down to a smaller file size.

Regards
George

Thanks George
                   When my dvd player gives up I'll replace it with one that writes as well
