Lets Talk Curry / What metal pan do you cook with ?
« on: October 12, 2014, 11:44 AM »
Hi all. just wondered what people cook with - pan material wise?

Aluminium? Cast iron? stainless?

Anyone concerned with 'apparent' safety issues with some metals?

Personally, I cook with aluminium and a chefs spoon (similar anyway) - probably not the safest combo!

Thoughts anyone?

Lets Talk Curry / Freezing and Reheating curries
« on: September 11, 2012, 12:30 PM »
Hi all, just wondering what people usually do when Freezing and Reheating curries that contain meat ? :)

Is best practice..

Freezing:
Cook curry (ie chicken Korma), let it completely cool and then freeze.

Defrosting:
Let curry defrost and room temp and then heat up thoroughly in a pan and enjoy :)

I think some may use different methods but what are your thoughts?

Tips also welcomed ;)

Cheers in advance

Hi All, can anyone recommend a decent and suitable Deep Fat Fryer for Bhajis and Pakoras?

Something that has a temp gauge on as well as being deep enough for the job in hand :)

Thanks in advance

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Hey guys! Anyone interested in a Free Ipod Touch ? :)
« on: April 09, 2009, 05:45 PM »
Hey, I noticed this part of the forum allows OT subjects :)
Anyway, I have being doing the freebie scene for quite a while now and have accumulated game consoles, ipods, a trampoline and loads more - infact nearly ?5,000 worth of freebies.
If anyone is interested then check www.free-console.com and sign up and complete just one sponsored offer - the site only uses top companies as there partners.
When you have completed an offer then you need to get some others to do the same.

I can vouch for this as being 100% legal and legit as I have done it many times.
If you need any help or have any questions then post here or send me a pm.

Take a look: www.free-console.com

Regards,

Mak

Just Joined? Introduce Yourself / Noob
« on: February 11, 2009, 05:37 PM »
Hi guys, this is my first post as I have mainly been looking around the site for the last week or so.
I have only been making curries from scratch for 3 weeks  ;D with very average results!
I'm very excited by what i have found regarding the base gravy/curry method and a few other tips such as the GG paste and bunjara (is it?)

Anyway, I am going to attempt the Ashoka base first so if anyone can offer any advice then I much appreciate it :)

Right I'm off to work out on reducing the quantity of the Ashoka base's ingredients (prob down to a quarter) and then give it a go

Thanks,

Ian
