How long is the chicken boiled initially in the tumeric?  I know it will probably differ for most people but  is 5 mins
about right?

Is it ok to reheat from frozen in a saucepan without defrosting in a fridge overnight?

Sometimes I forget to take it out the freezer the day before!

Trainee Chefs / Beginners Questions / Versatility of Mix Powder
« on: November 13, 2012, 08:44 PM »
When I started on my BIR a few weeks ago, I used the following Mix Powder, all from 'Rajah'.

8 tsp of turmeric powder
6 tsp of (mild) curry powder
5 tsp of coriander powder
4 tsp of cumin powder
2 tsp of garlic powder
2 tsp of garam masala
1 tsp of ginger powder

I have a huge container of this stuff I want to use up, so I want to know whether this Mix Powder will work (reasonably) well with any particular recipes/base gravys on this site.  I need to do a new batch of base gravy soon but have not yet decided on which one to try.  This will probably depend on advice I get here!

Thanks in advance.

Trainee Chefs / Beginners Questions / Parboiling Potatoes
« on: November 13, 2012, 07:35 PM »
I'm thinking of having a crack at bombay aloo and have found a couple of good recipes on the site!

Are potatoes typically parboiled whole are are they diced first?

No joy tonight, so guess I'l persevere with paste jars for now.  Probably a lot cheaper than the dorot's frozen stuff even if I do have to discard some.

Taj is certainly not available 'online' at my asda store; maybe range was replaced by 'dorots.'

However, I need to go there tonight anyway so I will see.
