Hi Two questions please. do you grind all the cardomon to get the powder or just the seeds? Im allergic to almonds but not cashews. If I use cashews do I have to do something extra to them or just chuck em in? Thanks
This used to be my favourite curry-house dish when I lived in the U.K. I live in rural Spain now, but, after a bit of effort getting the ingredients I can now have it whenever I like. It's so simple even I can make it, despite a disabled hand. Thanks so much for sharing this Al!
I made this and it tasted goddamn brilliant! I swapped out the sugar for sucralose (very similar sweet profile once it's combined with the coconut powder etc). Only thing I'd say is, because of the amount of coconut it actually tasted a lot like a korma? Is that normal? Other than the sugar substitute element I followed the recipe exact
Hi Al. I have been trying to cook BIR curries for years without much success. I am working through your recipes and each one has been a winner. I just cooked your garlic chilli chicken, it was fantastic. I will be trying this pasanda. Thanks and I look forward to more videos
Hi Al. Just had a great night. Cooked two of your madras and two pasanda for a family meal, enjoyed with a few bottles of cobra. Everybody loved it. Cheers
Hi Al, Looking to cook this and buy the ingredients. Ghee and cream are not in description? Sorry its just easier for me to scan the list then watch the vid. Looks fantastic btw. Great consistancy of sauce
Made this for my evening meal tonight and it was absolutely gorgeous, just as good as when I have this at an Indian restaurant. My wife tasted it and nearly stole the plate from me. She has asked me to make this for her birthday meal later this month. It really is good, and very simple to make as I have a chest freezer stocked up with Al's base gravy. Thanks Al.
You all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

amazing video. your recipes vidoes are so easy to follow and great to watch. Do you get your coconut milk powder from a specialist place? I cant find it in supermarkets
Hi Al, Really love your content, made some lovely curries with you. Only feedback is to please make your ingredients lists all-encompassing. Some of them don't mention the base gravy (5 spice dansak), this video doesn't mention the cream. Most of them don't mention how many servings it'll make. Some don't even have an ingredient list at all. It makes it really difficult to consume your content, and much easier to go elsewhere where that information is consistently available. I do really love your videos though, and hope this feedback comes in the spirit it was given
Hi Al. New subscriber. :-) Nice Pasanda recipe. Love your presentation style, too.I often add just a splosh of white wine to my Pasanda's..I know most BIR's don't do this for obvious reasons but I do think it adds a little something extra to that lovely sauce.Look forward to seeing more from you!
Double up. This assumingly is for 2. So everything times 2 for 4 peeps. Then if it was 8. You would times 2 again on the 4 people recipe and so on. Hope that makes sense
BIR stands for British Indian Restaurant ... you know what you get in your local take-aways and restaurants rather than the authentic dishes you would get in India. It's funny but I believe that the majority of chefs in the indian restaurants in UK are actually Bangladeshi
Northrhino11 It stands for British Indian Restaurant. It's the curries that we eat in UK Indian restaurants that are totally different from what you would get in India.
I’ve made this a few times now Al And it’s so gorgeous and easy to make I did add als kitchen on face book but didn’t get accepted yet I think. Thanks again al
Please can you help. I tried this method but even though I used coconut “powder” and almond “powder”, the consistency still felt a little gritty. It may be my curry base but not sure...any thoughts. I noticed as soon as you added your curry base and mixed it with the dry powders, the consistency and texture and colour looked brilliant. Mine just felt and looked gritty
Did the powders get cooked too long?? If they cook too much over dry heat they won't dissolve because they clump and burn, did it taste right?? Creamy, nutty, slight fragrant taste
Just curious - if I am out of coconut powder, how much coconut milk should I use instead? My Google skills haven't been good enough to find the answer for some reason. Thanks for all the awesome recipes!!
Al, my go to curry for my girls this. Not me, any curry without hot chili isn't a curry 😉 Anyway. Coconut flour vs powder. I've used the flour till now, tastes great. Was thinking, can I use some KTC coconut block instead, if so how much mate?
Hi Al 4eally think you should respond to some of the questions asked, even if they are quite old. However well done on your take of the BIR curries, good Joooob b
Hi Al, hope you are well, i remember seeing in a couple of your videos you mentioning a company that sold high quality ethically produced meat. I am getting fed up with some of the cheap rubbish chicken that is being sold these days. Please could you remind me of the name of the company, and do you still use them and have you found them to be reliable. Thanks for everything, keep making those cracking videos.
Hi Andy. The company is called the gourmet meat company. I love their stuff. My fave being the lamb rolled shoulder and the Meatballs. If also the apple burgers. Check them out
Quite a different start with the dry cooking of coconut and almond. Will give it a go for the sissies that can't handle a proper mouth burner. Thanks Al
Made for the first time today 😊 very tasty. I kinda cheated though. I used the Da malet curry base power used as per instructions . Then added 1 teaspoon cornflower in water and slowly simmered the sauce . And used a mix poweder I got on eBay. Taste of India mix power. I think had I taken the time to make the golden base be much more delicious Thanks Al
Areeba This is how this curry is made in restaurants in the UK. Its normal here and extremely popular. Being an Asian alone doesn't make for great cooking skills. Its what's been taught you and contained in the mind.
I think you're mistaking arrogance for confidence. Al still remains one of the most down to earth UA-camrs I've watched, unlike 99.9% of the rest of them on here that are so desperate to become famous, or who are already under the delusion that they're somehow memorable.

I’ve made this curry so many times, it is absolutely delicious!!
You cannot go wrong with the guidance and tips from Al. I’ve never made my own curries before, but now I never buy a takeaway curry. Enjoy guys!!
Okay
How do you make the base gravy?..
Hi
Two questions please. do you grind all the cardomon to get the powder or just the seeds?
Im allergic to almonds but not cashews. If I use cashews do I have to do something extra to them or just chuck em in?
Thanks
Great recipe 👌🏼 i also add a tsp of mango chutney near the end.
This is a BIR banger!!
Thanks Al!
You tried this dish with a little red wine stirred through it?

Hi Al, if making this for 3 people do I need to times the ingredient amounts by 3?
Can I use ground almonds instead of Almond powder? Thanks
This looks amazing.
Another great one Al, keep them coming. Thanks Andrew
Came to the party late Al. Made it tonight, absolutely fantastic. So grateful for your site👍 keep up the good work !!

Just like so say thanks Al for sharing your recipes and your time in making top quality videos... keep up the great work ..... cheers
Martin McGuinness Thanks Martin. As long as you keep watching I'll keep making videos.

Tony Quinn That's great Tony. Let me know what you think of the pasanda. Cheers Al
Hi Al. Just had a great night. Cooked two of your madras and two pasanda for a family meal, enjoyed with a few bottles of cobra. Everybody loved it. Cheers
Hi Al. I made this one last night. Best Pasanda I’ve ever had! Tasted like one of the best I’ve eaten in a restaurant. Fab!
Can I have the receipt
Hi Al,
Looking to cook this and buy the ingredients.
Ghee and cream are not in description?
Sorry its just easier for me to scan the list then watch the vid.
Looks fantastic btw. Great consistancy of sauce
No wine?
Al,what base gravy do you use for this?
anyone you wish. you could also use onion stock or vegetable stock thats been boiled down to a thick consistency
Made this for my evening meal tonight and it was absolutely gorgeous, just as good as when I have this at an Indian restaurant. My wife tasted it and nearly stole the plate from me. She has asked me to make this for her birthday meal later this month. It really is good, and very simple to make as I have a chest freezer stocked up with Al's base gravy. Thanks Al.

Cheers once again Al my Grandkids love this curry 👍
al mate weres the best place to get your pan from could you put a link or shop cheers

Al's Kitchen ok thank you al keep posting new videos Please you are soing a great job
Looks bloody good Bro. can't wait to try it!
Thanks again, these recipes never disappoint!
Damm!! I wasn't hungry until I watched this!! 😊 Thanks Al brilliant video.
amazing video. your recipes vidoes are so easy to follow and great to watch. Do you get your coconut milk powder from a specialist place? I cant find it in supermarkets
Kevin Northorpe Tesco’s have it.
Awesome Recipe, Thanks for sharing!!!
Absolutely fantastic Steven, I live in Thailand and haven’t seen coconut milk powder or coconut flour. Any suggestions for a substitute?
Made this tonight and it was brilliant - thanks Al!
Why have you got sliced garlic?
Hi Al
Love the channel, are you using a mix powder or straight mild madras curry powder in your Curry’s?
Thanks 👍
bob Pilot Mild Madras curry powder. You can use mix powder too.
Looks fantastic Al. Not everyone at the dinner table wants a hot curry and this looks perfect for them. Love the serving dishes, by the way.
Yeah, sometimes its nice to have a mild curry. This is lovely with chunky chips. The dish is only Wilko
Maestro thank You❤️just made it.delish!!!!

Amazing Al. Did this tonight and it rocks
Is almond powder the same as ground almonds, or something different? Keep up the great work Al!
Thank you chef looks so delicious
Thanks Denise. Hope you try it sometime.
Will be trying this, looks great.
Hope you do try it. Let me know what you think. It was lovely
Hi al ,how long could the base be left in the fridge before using without freezing
2/3 days approx
al can I use coconut milk instead of single cream ? TIA
Yes, if you don't mind the flavour.
Just out of interest what size pan do you use? Is it a 14inch?
MyNameIsDan1992 9-10inch
Big Al strikes again!
Al, you forgot the cream in ingredients list
Your dishes are insanely delicious AL :) As soon as I find that coconut powder I'm going to make this one ! :)
If you're Ok shopping from Amazon, I found it there.
Just made this.. 10/10 banger 🔥
I just dont understand what base gravy is .....
Hi Al. New subscriber. :-) Nice Pasanda recipe. Love your presentation style, too.I often add just a splosh of white wine to my Pasanda's..I know most BIR's don't do this for obvious reasons but I do think it adds a little something extra to that lovely sauce.Look forward to seeing more from you!
Samedi Haunts Yay. Thanks for subscribing. Yeah it's true about the wine. Add a splash if you wish. Thanks for watching
You’ve hit the spot again Al, fantastic curries. I did the Passanda the Ceylon and the Aloo Tiki. All amazing 🤩 keep the new curries coming 🙌🏻
Hi Al, if I’m cooking this for four, am I just multiplying the amount of spices etc by four? Sorry if that’s a stupid question!
Double up. This assumingly is for 2. So everything times 2 for 4 peeps. Then if it was 8. You would times 2 again on the 4 people recipe and so on. Hope that makes sense
Mark MacDonald thanks! Much appreciated and makes sense :)
spot on al cant wait to try this thanks
Thanks Gabby
Hi Al, hope you're keeping safe. I've had a royal chicken passanda a few times before in a restaurant, and it had wine in it. It was fabulous x
Where do you get the base gravy that’s. Cheating
He makes it.
peshwari naan! YES! I watched this video and then the base gravy one! Thanks, I'm going to cook this tonight for my wifes birthday :)
Stunning looking dish Al.. A beautiful vibrant curry. One my mum would love.. Cheers Al, I'm out of here two, it's gone 3 in the morning.
is coconut flour the exact same thing as coconut milk powder?
1 Corinthians 13 yes
No
Just had this for tea. Amazing!!
Wonderful!
Hi Al, what is BIR?
BIR stands for British Indian Restaurant ... you know what you get in your local take-aways and restaurants rather than the authentic dishes you would get in India. It's funny but I believe that the majority of chefs in the indian restaurants in UK are actually Bangladeshi
Northrhino11 It stands for British Indian Restaurant. It's the curries that we eat in UK Indian restaurants that are totally different from what you would get in India.
Not one for me but the kids love a mild curry and I only ever do them a Korma so this will be one for them keep up the good work.
Great, Let me know what you think. Send Pics on facebook if you can. Cheers Al
Just subscribed to your channel Al loving your videos, keep up the great work
I’ve made this a few times now Al
And it’s so gorgeous and easy to make
I did add als kitchen on face book but didn’t get accepted yet I think. Thanks again al

Thanks for all the awesome recipes!!
I use a quarter of a can, same ratio for other ingredients.
just made your lawanda out of this world another excellent recipe
thanks Al
Al, my go to curry for my girls this. Not me, any curry without hot chili isn't a curry 😉
Anyway. Coconut flour vs powder. I've used the flour till now, tastes great. Was thinking, can I use some KTC coconut block instead, if so how much mate?
Oooft looks tidy that Al, can never find coconut milk powder in Tesco though!
I buy it in Sainsburys. You can also use coconut flour
the world food area is where to look west indian section ( Tropical sun coconut milk powder )
Nice one Al
Also, I just noticed the #2 reason why these videos are so easy to follow -- I also cook left handed so this video looks more normal than most.
NICE AL!!!
Thanks Mathew
Hi Al 4eally think you should respond to some of the questions asked, even if they are quite old. However well done on your take of the BIR curries, good Joooob
b
Thanks. I can't track questions from my old videos. Most questions have been answered over and over.
This is basically Korma
so ground almonds OK for almond powder? Nobody here heard of it
Al are you from Cambridge/Newmarket? You sound just like all my family there :D
If he is, I bet I know where he gets his spices! Midan World foods in Histon rd.
What is "Base Gravy"? Its not available in Germany :(
You make it at home. search Al's kitchen base gravy
Al's Kitchen thx
Mkxture of spices and vegetables, plenty of vids on UA-cam
someone tell me what the 'base gravy' is and how to make it please and for God sake, use a wooden spoon!
Would be nice with a few fresh green chillis, that.
Pasanda is a mild curry but if thats what you like, add them. Great
Looks a winner of a dish that Al I'll be giving that a try on my daughter.👍👍
Prefer my Pasanda with lamb, but a great looking dish there Al
Thanks Robert. I am a Lamb lover too!!!
coconut milk powder!
Yes mate i'd given up on trying to make rich coconut currys
I tried with the flaky coconut before and it doesn't work.
Hi Al, hope you are well, i remember seeing in a couple of your videos you mentioning a company that sold high quality ethically produced meat.

Thank you so much Al, you are the best. I will let you know how i go on after i have placed an order.
Just had a mouthgasm xD
Amelia Macey I'm sorry?!
BIR Restaurants... aka British Indian Restaurant Restaurants
Quite a different start with the dry cooking of coconut and almond. Will give it a go for the sissies that can't handle a proper mouth burner. Thanks Al
Fantastic work al 👍🏻

Enjoyed watching this immensely, superb skills A,l girlfriend wanted me to send her the link
Being an Asian, this whole video gave me anxiety 😂

Asia is a big place..
sorry stupid auto correct should say pasanda
A "Passanda" is thinly sliced meat. Also known as "escalope" in English. This isn't technically passanda.
I'm gonna stop watching this on account of the fact that you presume your viewers know what a base gravy is without explaining how to make it.
This is not Chicken Pasanda... just some kind of chicken curry
The first step of butchering and filleting chicken is wrong
Been watching your videos for a while now and I love them but think u getting a bit too big for your boots mate
Wesley Rhodes What makes you think that?
I think the worst that can happen is becoming too big for his shirt ... but certainly not his boots :P
I think you're mistaking arrogance for confidence. Al still remains one of the most down to earth UA-camrs I've watched, unlike 99.9% of the rest of them on here that are so desperate to become famous, or who are already under the delusion that they're somehow memorable.
Thank TFGB. I still size 8 feet. lol
