Is that how bad BIR curries typically are (or look) now?   :-\

It looks like total stodge to me  :o

If you told me that was bolognese sauce, I would probably have believed you!  ???

I'm afraid I have to agree there, if someone had delivered that to my door, I would be straight in my car and throwing it through their window, sorry Chris, but that looks awful for a takeaway, and have to agree with Cory, it looks more like a bolognese....I've seen much better curry pictures produced by you on this forum :)

When you think about it now, I think we are producing better BIR now than a lot of modern restaurants/takeaways can do. Obviously, there are still some very high quality restaurants out there, but to be honest, lately, I have yet to find one that compares with what we can produce on here...

Happy Days :)

Hi All,

Just to add to the thread I videoed Chef Baba Miah's Chicken Tikka Dhansak. I asked him if he used pineapple in his Dhansak, he said he doesn't usually but would if I wanted to try it. As I have never had a Dhansak with it I thought I'd give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised with it and will include it when I make my own.
I did like the pineapple in but was glad it was cut thin so as not to get a big juicy chunk of it which for me would have overpowered things.

As you will hear....one of the waiting staff fancied himself as a bit of a director. ::)
Clink on the link below.

I hope you enjoy the video.
Cheers,
Mick

Nice one CBM
Slowly, Slowly,Slowwwwwwwwwwly. curry porn  ;D

Good old style Dhansak and nice to see Chef Baba using Worcestershire sauce.

Everybody loves Chicken Tikka, but IMO it doesn't work in every curry.

For my taste, it detracts and somewhat spoils the taste and elements of a Dhansak.

My Chef mate cooks a version for my supper in this vid, using Maggie Tamarina and his Dhansak spice mix.

But I still prefer my Old School (Taste) Version here,

Keep them coming Mick, great series of vids ;)
cheers Chewy

excellent videos, did you get, when they added the pre cooked dhal, was it plain, or a tarka dhal type similar to the recipes we are using here?
