Thanks for this one too, I have been looking to make some again soon and will have a go with your recipe next time. Bye the way given my intertest in regional variation do you mind if I ask where you are from and on a scale of 1 to 10 how rate your recipe against your local BIRs results? Thanks again PP

Hey panpot i enjoy your posts, have been reading quite a few now and love this forum, i am from Glasgow, Scotland and i would say wee have the best BIR's in the uk, i have travelled all over the uk and been to many BIR as i love my curries but have never been able to make one, i rate these onions as the best, they are exactly the same as the BIR and ashoka in Glasgow

ps what base would you recommend i make

i made SNS base last week and it was ok

i am going to try Darths tomorrow as i love a good madras....

[gazman1976]

forgot to say

i rate it 10/10 panpot

you wont be dissapointed

Good man Gazman, being a Glaswegian too I can hardly question your score so I look forward to tasting your recipe. Since I got the Ashoka recipes from their head Chef I cant fault his base and the breakthrough with the addition of margarine makes all the difference though I do rate highly most of the others on the site especially the ones mentioned.

hi panpot mango powder a spot of red food color a dash of lemon juice and a little chopped coriander left overnight in the fridge in your recipe even more amazing

[Panpot]

les-paul, is that the whole recipe left in the fridge or just the coriander?

Is there any chance the gram quantities could be converted to teaspoons as I do not have scales capable of weighing small amounts accurately?

Cheers.

ok use 3 onions ( tennis ball size ) and chop finely, when in the bowl squirt tomato ketchup to cover them ( i would say 8 tablespoons ) i dont use scales or measurements as i could make them with my eyes shut , then i would say 1 to 2 teaspoons of Mint sauce and 1 - 1.5 tablespoons of mango chutney , also add a dash of red food colouring , add 1 - 2 teaspoons of hot or mild chilli powder , hope that helps, check the photo i have of them, they are well nice !!!
