Title: CBM Little India Part 1
Post by: Curry Barking Mad on April 09, 2012, 02:15 PM
Hi All,
For those of you that don't venture onto RCR then here are a couple of overview videos from a new kitchen that I have gained access to.

The first video from Little India.

Just to make a few points........

This chef is very active in his pan and spoon action, bits of onions flying allover on occasions

You will notice debris under the burner range, this builds up during the evenings cooking. The trays are removed at the end of the night for cleaning. (Just in case anybody thought it was always like this  ::)

You will also notice his Sag Bhaji has no gravy at all added and the Mushroom Bhaji has the smallest amount.

You will see how dark the chef allows the residue in the pan to get, this is deliberate on his part. He did it with all the side dishes that I saw him cook. Having tasted a couple of them I can see why. They weren't burnt but had a fantastic smoky taste to them.

And watch for the the little mishap.............

Anyway, enough of all that, I hope you enjoy the video.....

Cheers,
Mick

Top work as always, CBM - much appreciated.

This is almost a carbon copy of how the chefs at my favourite local BIRs make their saag and mushroom bhajis, and is the method I try to replicate at home.

People on both forums often ask where that smokey flavour comes from... Well, here it is!

Great video mick, thanks for posting it. I noticed your spice trays in one of your other videos, mind if I ask where you got them?

Hi Natterjack,
I got them from  Nisbets  (http://www.nisbets.co.uk/gastronorm/q01.r10.1/Search.raction)
I made my own frame to hang them from, I thought the money Nisbets wanted for the hanger was a bit excessive.
Cheers,
Mick

Excellent video Mick.  That certainly will help in my quest for  a dry tasty sag aloo  :D. Very professional arrangement there in the curry shack.  That king prawn masalla looks damn good  :P

Hi Haldi,
Yes it is,
Very tasty, simple flavours with little spicing but with the smoky background flavour.

Hi Mick
Nice Vids and good to see your behind the scenes again.
Great advert for Little India and their range burners look pristine, compared to most I see, after an hour or so currying.
A very good Chef, just by the amount of work he puts into a simple CTM

Good dry Saag and Bhindi Bhaji, even the one on the floor. (part 1)
Interesting that it looks as if the Chef uses Mixed powder, as well as Haldi and Salt in those.
Just the way I like it. In fact all the dishes look familiar and well cooked.
I'd eat there anytime, if I'm ever down that way.

Couple of questions...
Do they use G&G as well as a Garlic and oil mix and mostly Vegetable Ghee to start off some dishes.
The Nawabi, around here usually has Mango pulp added, was there any in the Little India dish.

The Bengali Mirch, I know as a Jhal - Jhul, a popular hot dish served here in Shields.

Thanks for sharing Mick ;)
cheers Chewy

Cheers Chewy,
The chef said it was just minced garlic in with the oil.

Re the Nawabi, one of his paste containers had what he called his korma paste in. Some of this went in the Nawabi. Next time I'm in I'll ask if he uses mango pulp.

The Bengali Mirchi also uses a paste of tamarind, mint, mango chutney. A lovely taste even before it's cooked in the curry.

Cheers,
Mick

Ditto RCR  ;)

I don't know why this is happening, I have no restrictions placed on Vimeo.
I went to put a link on the opening post and I don't understand why I cannot "Modify" my own post on here ??
That option next to the "Quote" button has gone on some of my posts.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,

Hi

Looks like it must be a Firefox browser or Add Block Plus issue. Works fine in M$ IE.

Mick the modify post option is only available for a set time (think it might be 2 days) after posting. Only admin could tell you why but the usual reason is to stop someone starting an argument then later editing their posts to cover up what they had said. Somewhat ironic then that the only person with form in this area has been granted moderator rights which allow him to edit his posts beyond the time limit imposed on everyone else, but that's another story.

Right, I am now pulling my hair out......
I've tried Safari, Opera, IE and Chrome, none show the video.
Strangely it came up on Chrome and I thought I'd cracked it. I went to another page and went back and then the video shows the Error screen.
It's done me. >:(

I have no restrictions on the videos so don't understand why you're seeing the padlock icon.

George,
Would you please respond to this previous post from me.
I assume you must have missed this....or maybe you don't have the rights.
It would be most helpful  ;)
Thank you,
