Quote from: John on September 25, 2005, 10:27 PMAnyone have any BIR recipes for a slow cooker?Is it even possible to cook a tasty BIR type of curry in a slow cooker?I doubt very much if hardly any BIRs use a slow cooker, so there's highly unlikely to be any "BIR recipes" as such. Now, you can probably achieve similar or better results with a slow cooker than they do with a furnace under a frying pan but then it wouldn't be BIR, would it?!

Quote from: CashNCurry on February 15, 2006, 07:12 PM After watering down - how much did you get? How many meals will it make? I'm thinking of doubling up the quantities as I have large dishes.Pete, this made enough sauce for 2 seperate curry portions of the bir size.----- i forgot to say that i did add tomato puree to the madras, but i felt if would be better if pureed tomatoes or passata were added instead. I have another mini base on the go as we speak, left on low simmer so i'll try more experiments tomorrow.John

Quote from: John on December 23, 2005, 12:47 AMThe base sauce that i got from the bir was straight from the big bubbling pot of gravy on the cooker top...I asked for some base sauce from a take-away a few months back. The container was filled direct from the large pot but then the container was taken into a back room, when I think some fenugreek or coriander was added and who knows what else? Garam masala perhaps, for all I know?RegardsGeorge

Sometimes i get the feeling these whole seeds are only put in to give a visual impression of quality & obviously to give the customers of the BIR that feeling that they are actually using authentic Indian Spices as i think they can get all they need from fully ground, a few seeds here & there is not going to make that much difference IMHO.
