sue....you must be a special cook to be able to make his recipes 100% bir

plus you are banned from the other one.

hi,i have been a member for some time but this is my first post i have been in the background reading all the good recipes and tips and my curries have improved no end but the bir taste is still not there,the only time i ever got that hard to mistake bir taste and smell was by accident a short while after i started cooking curries,one day i decided to put the ingredients in the frying pan in a different order to what i normally did as i was not getting good results,whilst in the middle of this the phone went then there was a knock at the door and i forgot about the curry then there was this amazing smell of a Ta the pan was nearly dry so i added some water to it i tasted to see if it was burnt but it tasted like a real bir curry delicious and the house smelled like one for days,i then went out had quite a few beers and forgot what i did and what i used as i had a lot of ingredients on the table but did not use them all but it was only the usual suspects,after that i do not believe there are secret ingredients i think what i made was something like a tarka or bhaagar that they put into a base so i am pretty positive the secret lies in the technique,i will keep trying my hardest to get that result again but i can say i have made one bir at least.
