Sieve it.

Ah, "pass it" as in "pass it through a sieve".  /Now/ I understand !  Thank you, Frank.

No thank you : "chefy programmes" haven't been the same since the sad demise of Fanny and Johnny Craddock ...

Thats the same as my cooker, Prince no.2 only mine was the top of the range. Red and cream. 
Mint condition and stored in the garage for years since i moved to the sticks with no gas. 
My nan had the blue one in the video.

Morning guys! While i appreciate BIR cooking IS different, its about how you treat each ingredient in my opinion, once you have learned to do that you can make the changes you like!
I would like to get some of the basics down, then maybe try adding some twists onto the recipes (obviously not recipes to tangle with the good ol' classics!).
I was thinking of trying the Chinese method of "velveting" the chicken would be a good place to start, but even some different finishing techniques like adding butter to monte the sauce, or adding a liaison, and how that effects the quality of the finished product.
Oil seems to be a hot topic here as well, i would be interested to see if rather having the sauce "suspended" in a large quantity of oil, if maybe a lower quantity could be used, then emulsified through the sauce to distribute the flavor, then compare the finished products.
Of course I'd also like to make some good BIR curries as well, do don't think i'm here to try and change the world- i just love to experiment!
I just wish i had DalPuri's awesome vintage hardware co cook on as i did it

And thats only me cooker. I picked up a complete aluminium kitchen down the scrappy for 30 quid. (scrap value, I'm mates with the guy) 
English Rose in red and cream to match my cooker 
Probably worth a couple of grand. 

I've got more cupboards than pictured, and thats all in storage too.  :

That's a show-room photograph, you cheating s@d :  no real human being can keep a kitchen that tidy (unless she's female) !

Yeah of course. All of mine has never been installed. My Kitchen is too small. 
Its just biding its time in storage until i move to a bigger place.

This sounds very interesting. I'd also like to see how you would make the bagghar/tarka with your (french?) classical background/experience once you've dived into the subject. Flavoured oils would also be a nice topic that others appear to have not had much success at. BTW: I think many of the recipes here are the "real deal", just the instructions may be incomplete for non-professional cooks.
