SS you are entitled my friend and here we go again....it had to be my turn at some point.. you can look at what we have in the supermarkets old lad and you will see they DO NOT match anything on here and our base which is published is Not the same as anyone else's.

I don't rise to idiotic comments take it as you want - and where are the Dhaal and Paneer recipes don't see any but you will here.

I dont have anything to prove to anyone - i work hard start everyday around 0400 am and put the hours in - I started peeling onions in a restaurant in 1985 and have picked up a thing or two along the way! Unlike the usual arm chair warriors!!

Here's the thing - cooking for 1 is not the same as cooking for 300 - cooking 2 chicken breast is not the same as 140 kilos a day - so i think there may be a difference - thanks for the usual negativity from you SS which bleeds all the way through this forum.

The recipes i'm interested in are the ones from Bob - who cooks in bulk - i make no bones about that and have pm'd him re them... why because we do the same. Also i'm a little envious he has a tilt pan and we have tried to order one to no avail they keep changing the price and its double the price of the UK. Not justifiable for us.

Please feel free to make your opinions as you wish about any of my posts - and as you will see from one of my firsts posts - i came on to the forum at a time when again there was some negativity around the time Abdul came on - cant remember what it was at that time but im sure someone can look it up - I posted a veggie recipe at that time NOT on here and Abdul picked it up and asked if he could use in his restaurant.

What i do like is your certainty of assumption - i was taught NEVER TO ASSUME!

Also remember back to the days of being taught anything, shown anything - it was to make life easier and to succeed. If there is any little tip bit that will help improve mine and my families quality of life i WILL gladly take the opportunity to use it as would every normal individual.

Must think about publishing an ebook!

Hey ho its peeling onions i go!

best, Rich

Liked!!!

Where does it say (anywhere on this forum) that "forum members must not use other member's recipes to make a profit" ?

If a member posts information and states this then it should be respected - but that does not mean it becomes illegal if not adhered to !

Seems like sour grapes and envy to me   :'(

Hi guys, thanks for the replies and links. I tried the mint sauce a while back and I agree - it really is top notch !

Must give the bombay aloo a bash :)

BUMP !!! and a big one at that!

I just fancied having a go at this base and have it on the boil now :)

Can I ask if anyone still uses Dips base and have added any refinements?

Cheers

Thanks for the comments guys. I think I will use the microwave as well.

As with my rice I think I will defrost at room temp and microwave the curry and see how that goes

I have usually chilled curries up to now - what's the max to leave in the fridge would you say ? 2/3 days?

Cheers

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

Thanks for the links about Canola oil......that makes scary reading.  Yet another example of an uninformed public being misled by the food industry!  Unfortunately they're more inyerested in money than they are in consumers' health!
Looks like it's back to the olive oil!!
al.

Why not look into Coconut oil mate ? :)
Supposedly the best for cooking at high temperatures and has other health benefits

Cheers guys

Just a quick update, I did buy the KTC coconut oil from Ebay - It cost me about 9 quid for 2 x 500gm jars.

However, I have found it at 1.99 per 500gm jar at Pak food stores in Rotherham which makes it better value - but still around 4 quid a litre so not the cheapest option.

I am happy to pay that if the health benefits are true.

The oil does have a very slight coconut aroma and I mean slight - you cannot taste it at all in the finished product.

Here is a pic of the oil that I keep in an airtight container in the fridge. It's got a nice yellow tinge to it now that it has been spiced by cooking Bhajis in it - Already started a dish with it ! :)



Hope this is of benefit to someone

Cheers

Mak
