One way of filtering out the "too close to home" hits is to use a Google exclude clause, as in :

I also bought, and still have Pat Chapman’s Curry Bible in hard back.  Can’t remember if I ever actually tried any recipes.  I did get the kindle version of Misty Ricardo’s vol. 1 and it has been a worthwhile purchase.  Kindle app on iPad is great, full colour and hyperlinks to video.  I have a couple of Madhur Jaffrey books for traditional Indian recipes.  Particularly good are the turkey kebabs and red lentils with garlic and ginger.
Here in the US, when I look for Indian recipes online, I’d say 90% of the results are either butter chicken or chicken tikka masala on the US based food websites.

Al from Al's Kitchen YouTube channel featured on Radio 5 Live this afternoon.
Anyone tried any of his stuff?

This reminds me of possibly the first non-Asian to have some success with selling books and getting himself into the media - P Chapman in the mid 80s. It had absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the recipes, which I regard as dire. There are so many Indian chefs on youtube, who needs to waste time watching channels like Als kitchen?

Caramelisation is a small part of what is actually going on in your pan. Google the "Maillard reaction" and have a read if you have the inclination. Maybe stay away from the detailed scientific journals - unless you like that kind of stuff.

I don't (try to) grow chillies, as will be evidenced by the absence of any prior contributions to this thread, but I have been growing both parsley and coriander, both with some success.  Unfortunately my early success with the latter was completely negated by Ratty, who decided that baby coriander plants were the perfect appetiser and was seen sitting in the middle of the rather large planter in which they were growing munching away delicately at each one until all were razed to the ground ...

Need some of the ‘oldies’ to answer that one...

Can't help, I'm afraid.  I did a search after Gav's comment, but could find no evidence.  However, the absence of evidence does not necessarily demonstrate the absence of guilt.

Curry leaf plant flourishing in our baking hot weather.   Chilies starting to flower too and already got jalapeños picked.  No good in Indian dishes but great for Mexican.

I’m cheating for dinner tonight.  Want to use my last portion of base to try a vindaloo or madras but too late to defrost naturally.   So going with some Costco coconut chicken curry which is pretty good and will accompany it with Phil’s microwave rice.
Holiday all week for me so will be making Syed’s base and re-stocking the freezer, although my Instant Pot pressure cooked base did the job well.
Syed’s chicken tikka went down so well with the family visitors this weekend, I put together the marinade (minus the Greek yoghurt) in a Ziplok bag for them to take back to Chicago.
Also printed them off a copy of Phil’s Microwave Rice (as it is now known in my household).

It’s 37 deg C in the shade here today.  Trying my best to stay cool with Margaritas and looking forward to dinner..

Did he not spam this site a few years back posting his videos on numerous pages then took the hump when pulled up for it?
