Topic: How Base Gravy is made in a Indian Takeaway Video.

[jb]

From what I understand from Chris' previous posts this secret or special ingredient is something that has never been mentioned before either on here or in any of the many BIR books out there.I have no idea quite what this secret ingredient could be,although I obviously cannot wait to find out! I find it amazing that if there is a truly groundbreaking idea that someone has not found it out before on here,bearing in mind the amount of BIR kitchens our members on here have been into.Like I said can't wait to find out.

The mystery ingredient looks very much like the last of the previous batch of base gravy reduced down in some spiced oil (maybe extra whole spices added??) into a thick paste till it caramelises.

just to quote myself 

There's no reclaimed anything or bought pastes.

I appreciate your putting this up to promote your book again,but its a bit like watching paint dry h4ppy,
be more entertaining if you rehearsed the recipe and followed a script out of your book, before you started. 
(Not knowing how much water to add, as an Example)

Anyhoo, nothing new to me, simple basic garabi with a chilli quirk. (For me, way too much oil.)
Also your secret Bhagar, looks like it has plenty of extra oil too.

I also suggest you might want to lighten up a bit, cooking curry should be fun, you seem to sigh on every sentence.lol

Watch Sanjay he cracks me up.


cheers Chewy

Thanks Chewy you are a top man, when i want a manager it's you i will PM

No coconut mate but, you can taste a hint of coconut in the base and there is none in it.

that is quite odd, how can something taste like coconut, when coconut isn't there?



Perhaps the secret ingredient, is one of these essence bottles?  ;D

How does a strawberry sweet taste like a strawberry when it's never even seen a strawberry?

always interested in base and looking forward to having a screening of the vid.

the only secret ingredient for me is water. i know it sounds daft and won't match the secret in the video.

we need to get this ebook out - there's just too much excitement.

The one person on this forum that i want to have this book the most is you Bob! why? because you have worked so hard to get the spiced oil right. I am 110% sure that once you have to book you will take it higher.
