« on: June 03, 2019, 09:50 AM »
Is a traditional BIR vindaloo really a madras with extra chilli powder added?  Does vinegar play any role?

I was hoping this video from Latif would shed some light, but he

Highly Recommended British Indian Restaurants / Mughal Dynasty, Maidstone
« on: November 07, 2015, 08:36 PM »
Old style BIR still run by Mitu Chowdhury (20+ years and still going strong). He's been done at least twice for using illegal immigrant chefs but don't take that as a bad thing, imho it's a strong indicator of good BIR food.

Still apparently using the old recipes as I enjoyed a lovely oily vindaloo with "the taste (tm)" tonight. Pilau rice was competent but the meat vindaloo was highly enjoyable. Three pieces of potato which seemed a bit cost-cutty but that's splitting hairs. The sauce was glorious.

Curry Videos / Indian restaurant complaints procedure
« on: September 13, 2014, 09:04 AM »
I think we've all experienced poor food or poor service from an Indian restaurant at some stage, so the below video will doubtless be of assistance in establishing an effective means of gaining redress. Probably. Or, um, not.

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / School dinners
« on: August 30, 2014, 12:02 PM »
What are your memories of school dinners? The stand-out memory for me is of bright green "fried" onions served up with burgers and hot dogs.  Looking back I realise they were simply chopping up huge quantities of onions and completely over crowding the pan when they "fried" them, resulting in no actual frying going on but instead intensely bitter tasting lightly boiled onions were plonked onto your burger!

The things we suffer as kids, not knowing any better. What are your memories, good or bad, of school dinners.?

Just Joined? Introduce Yourself / Hi
« on: July 13, 2014, 09:44 AM »
Hi there. I'm Don, long time curry fan and home chef.  Have been researching professional / authentic recipes lately because there's so much more info out on the web now that it's become viable to cook like the pros at home. I would describe myself as more of a researcher than an experimenter or gifted chef, as it seems to me far better to build on the work of others than to try to invent from scratch. That's if you can find the right "others" of course.

Still figuring this place out!

I'm into chinese, Indian, tex mex, any kind of take out or restaurant style food as it seems to me there's often only a few "value add" steps or techniques which take a recipe into the territory of saleable food & therefore knowledge is the most important ingredient to add to any meal. 

Also ++always++ interested in tips on other resources worth persuing, be it books, websites, YouTube channels or anything where good solid info on which I can develop my own cooking may be found.

Thanks all.
