« on: August 17, 2021, 06:06 PM »

I've not been cooking BIR for a couple of years but am back again.

Having never really liked shop-bought Garam Masala (too much cinnamon or something) I am interested to know if anyone thinks they have the perfect GM recipe and is happy to share it,

Cheers,

Pete.

I appreciate this is an old thread but i had to laugh when i came across it, I still have that book from the 90's and the Balti Pots, unlike the latter the recipes didn't remain in use very long ;D

I forgot to ask how you rate the Curry Guy's base and recipes?

To be honest, I found the sheer complexity of his base intimidating

Without checking, there are 2 sauces in Mridula Baljekar's book. A plain and a butter (tomato). Also from my memory, many recipes in the book don't use either of these sauces though, so it is a bit odd that way. However, the recipes I've used so are have made good curries.

Thanks Livo.

Thanks for the quick reply Phil its appreciated. In light of what you said I will stick with the original Curry Secret.
In all honesty when I first came to this forum back in 2011 (I think) I had always used the Curry Secret, which I believe is very good. I joined the forum back then in search of the

Hello all,
             can't exactly remember when i had my first BIR curry, but i guess that it was about 1982 and i have loved them ever since.
Over the following years i have cooked a few traditional Indian recipes and they where quite nice, but it was always the BIR curry/takeaway that i wanted to (and could not for the life of me) replicate.
I remember several years ago when i found Kris Dillon's the "Curry Secret", i thought that i had found the Holy Grail, lol.
Now don't get me wrong, when i made my first curry base and tried Kris's recipes, the taste and texture was far better than i had achieved with anything that had gone before and i was well impressed, but over time i had to admit that this really wasn't true BIR curry (well not in my mind at least) and so basically gave up on the idea of ever being able to come close to achieving the goal.
Then the other day i stumbled across this site and thought,...... this looks pretty good!......had a mooch around......and decided to give it another go.

So far i like the look of everything I've seen, however i think i might try Cory Ander's base and recipes to kick things off with and take it from there......is that a Grail i can see on the horizon!!! ;D
