Hi Al, just finished eating the Pathia and I have to say Wife and I loved it. I've been cooking curries for 40 years, have dozens of cook books, but like so many people say, your B.I.R. method works for us EVERY time. I even had a book "Secrets of the Indian Restaurant" but hated it. Like so many ex-Pats, you simply can't get a good curry in a restaurant here in Germany. They talk the talk but never walk the walk. When you explain that you are British, they nod knowingly and say "We have to cook for the german pallet" which is notoriously non-spicey! Restaurants always serve it too creamy, too yoghurty, and little heat. Anyway, now that I have my "All About The Base" apron, I don't just cook better but look the part as well :-) It was a Kafuffle getting it sent to Germany (from an address in England) and there was €8 Tax to pay on top...but all's well that ends well - more power to your stirring elbow. Which reminds me, Wifey says get a rubber ladle for your aluminium pots! ;-)
I just made a vegetarian curry based on this recipe and using chickpeas. I am blown away by the result! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiring so many to cook curries at home. Very much needed at the present!
Absolutely love this recipe, never heard of it before seeing it on your channel and its now my favourite. Tried with both chicken tikka and paneer, both excellent!
Well Al ! Tried this last night. Absolutely amazing. I tough the Jefrezi was the ultimate but this was awesome. Washed down with a glass of Chablis. Better then any restaurant. Onward now to the Ceylon. John
I eat 3 curries a week from restaurants all over. I can honestly say that this curry was as good as any curry I've ever ordered. Just used normal chicken as didn't have time or patience to marinade the tikka, can't wait to have it again with the tikka. AMAZING, thank you.
Pleeeeeeeease!!!!!I love your vids Al, but can you make a vid for 4 people. My kids love the curry’s but I never get it right when cooking for more than one.
I bought a non coated aluminium frying pan today on your advice and this will dish will be cooked on the weekend. It will be my third Al’s curry this week and the wife and kids can’t be happier. Thanks for the video I can’t express how much I enjoy and appreciate them.
Just cooked this and boy was it delicious . First one I cooked from you videos, and can't wait to cook more. Thanks Al, look forward to watching the rest of your videos
I’ve made soooo many of Al’s curries but this is sooooo good. My favourite is either the Chicken Chasni or the Chicken Madras........but, I’ve now added this to my top 3. Keep up the good work Al...... looking fwd to your book. An added bonus is your love of LFC 😆✌️👍🏴
Made this tonight and tasted amazing. Almost a smoky flavour of it which only added to the immense taste. Had half earlier and added some yogurt to the other half for tomorrow. Cheers.
I'm going to have to try this! 30 years ago, Dilshad in Sutton Coldfield was the place for Pathia, but not been there for many many years. The best drink to go with curry, will always be Mateus Rose!!!
Hey Al, well I made this one at the request of the family tonight!! Prepared the chicken yesterday & marinated overnight to make it Tikka (minus the dye) cooked that separately in the oven - that turned out to be beautiful & I've already been asked to make that again by the kids!! I've got to scale it up a bit to feed the fam & made a bit of a boo boo on the mix powder as I got my tea & table mixed up.... I wondered where all the oil went when I added it :) It's quite forgiving though & didn't seem to cause any detriment to the dish, in fact when I make it again - I'll do the same again as the gravy had a wonderful texture - I'll just use more oil in the pan!!! What a beautiful flavoursome dish it turned out to be, my best yet - if I'd been told it had come from the local takeaway - I wouldn't have questioned it! Thanks once again, when's the book out? I need it!!
Made some base curry sauce 2 last night and just couldn't resist knocking up a portion of this sauce that I added King prawns to at the end instead. Beautiful Al. Thank you man. ✊
I’ve been making your curries for about a month now, tried this last night, best one yet, I’m vegetarian so used jackfruit instead of chicken and it worked really well, thanks for the inspiration Al, looking forward to trying many more of your ‘banging’ curries 👍
Hi I ordered your spices and made pathia it was better than the our usual friday take away .the spices are amazing i am doing korma tomorrow and i can.t wait .i will be back xx
Just had this one mate and its my new favourite. Chasni was my fav but this just pips it. Thank you al, your vids are the best, easy to follow with outstanding results. 👏👏👏
I'm missing the Kasuri Methi and I had only garlic paste so grated some ginger in. I've also got an electric hob. This is still VERY close to my favourite takeaway at home. It's amazing! I live abroad (Switzerland) and can't find a curry house i love. This has solved that problem. Can't wait for my other spices to arrive at Christmas now!
Well Al, I’ve only recently found your channel and I’m loving it, haven’t made any curry’s as yet but I’m building up a nice play list, I think my first step will be making the base gravy, and buying a high sided frying pan.
As a newcomer am very much enjoying your videos and I like how you go back on recipes and try to get even better versions. Where are you from your accent is definately not South London?
Love a Pathia, never made one as good as this before, it was so good I've made a batch for the freezer, gonna try more of your recipes now, thanks Al keep up the good videos.
Hi mate Just came across you channel and cooked this recipe tonight and wow it was amazing I love cooking curry but struggled to get the restaurant style taste so thanks for sharing this amazing stuff , I will be following all recipes on this channel keep up good work
Mate! You’ve started my whole cooking curries at home journey. Absolute legend. And I’m a massive Red. This is my favourite curry with Tiger beer. Up the Reds
Thanks again A. Another fantastic success. Pathia is one of my favourites and I have to say that this was as good as any BIR I've ever had as a takeaway or in a restaurant. I used chicken tikka and king prawns. Brilliant!!!
Just wanting to thank you Al for all your efforts, ive been saying im gonna start these for over a year... I finally got all the gear needed. Made the base gravy first and got it spot on, and ive had Pathia twice in the last week, and i can tell you the sauce is better than most takeaways ive had over the last 15+ yrs and as good as, if not better than the best pathia's ive ever had from restaurants. Im gonna try adding some balti paste next for "Balti Pathia" Then onto the jalfrezi and Samber Thx again pal.
Beautiful looking as usual. I ordered one of those burners after seeing it on your last video. I can’t wait to use it tomorrow evening. I saw someone using one on Facebook and they placed an oven rack on top. This allowed them to slide the pan about more easily. An excellent idea I thought.
You sir are a legend. My all time favourite & that looks amazing. Peshwari naan & a side of onion bhaji to go with that Pathia & I'm a happy boy. Top lad 😉
Only tried pathia a few weeks back as I was mainly a dupiaza man but wow what a curry. Ordered one last night funny enough and will be having the leftovers tonight after putting the Christmas decs up.
Really like the way you explain the all important methods and heat. Very concise and very entertaining. Maybe one day we can look forward to seeing "Al's curry kitchen" tv series ! :-)). Step aside motorcylists with long hair and chefs that swear a lot.
Wow Al that Pathia looks real scrummy can't wait to have a go at making it as many others my mouth waters just watching your recipes in the making one question as our family are a greedy lot here and love curries etc would it be possible to make this on a big scale ie for three greedy adults thanks Chas ;-)
Hi Al, loving the channel so much! Quick question re the base gravy, how did you get yours so thin? In mine you can still see the substance even after blitzing a lot? Thanks!
Im drinking lidl French grain vodka with your curry's. Taste like grey goose 👍. Another note I use cinnamon as an extra in all of your recipes. It gives extra flavour
Just finished the Pathia for tonight, had a sneak taste..WOW.. up there with the Chasni. put a squidge or fresh lemon juice and a splash of Light Soy sauce at the end.. its got all the right, hot, sweet, sour tastes coming through, think the famalam will have a big thumbs up on this, keep it coming Al.
Good video Al,will defo give it a go,off the corner shop for a bottle of maggis tamarind sauce tommorw, 2 good things I liked tonight in the video,dunkin naan breads and Liverpool to win the league, 😃🌶🍻👍,good as always, we'll done
Been watching your videos for over a week, made the base gravy Friday night and made this Pathia last night. Absolutely incredible. If you had a Patreon or some other funding account I'd be dropping you cash. Incredible how good this.
My Favorite curry I made this with your old recipe Im watching this whilst drinking a nice bottle of Kelpie an ale that uses seaweed in the mash for an original flavour
How do you know how long to cook the spices for? is there a smell a colour, some way of telling other than taste at the end? Loving the curry's every Friday is an Al's Kitchen night :)

I just made a vegetarian curry based on this recipe and using chickpeas. I am blown away by the result! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiring so many to cook curries at home. Very much needed at the present!
Soooo, i made this tonight, used 2 tsp lemon juice instead of tamarind, omg best curry ever, mana of the gods indeed, cheers Al!!!
With the curry dishes on the videos are they for one or two people.
Absolutely love this recipe, never heard of it before seeing it on your channel and its now my favourite. Tried with both chicken tikka and paneer, both excellent!
Well Al ! Tried this last night. Absolutely amazing. I tough the Jefrezi was the ultimate but this was awesome. Washed down with a glass of Chablis. Better then any restaurant. Onward now to the Ceylon. John
Just made this tonight using the gravy that I made at the weekend, absolutely beautiful! Well done Al you are an inspiration 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I eat 3 curries a week from restaurants all over. I can honestly say that this curry was as good as any curry I've ever ordered. Just used normal chicken as didn't have time or patience to marinade the tikka, can't wait to have it again with the tikka. AMAZING, thank you.
Al, you're not just a cook, you're an artist! Keep up the good work! Cheers, Keith (Brit in Berlin)
Pleeeeeeeease!!!!!I love your vids Al, but can you make a vid for 4 people. My kids love the curry’s but I never get it right when cooking for more than one.
You have to make individuals to really replicate the restaurant taste. Upscaling this style of curry is nearly impossible.
I bought a non coated aluminium frying pan today on your advice and this will dish will be cooked on the weekend. It will be my third Al’s curry this week and the wife and kids can’t be happier. Thanks for the video I can’t express how much I enjoy and appreciate them.
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy
Just finished making a batch of this for the freezer and its fantastic for sure. I added some halved tomatoes too.
Just cooked this and boy was it delicious . First one I cooked from you videos, and can't wait to cook more. Thanks Al, look forward to watching the rest of your videos
I’ve made soooo many of Al’s curries but this is sooooo good. My favourite is either the Chicken Chasni or the Chicken Madras........but, I’ve now added this to my top 3. Keep up the good work Al...... looking fwd to your book. An added bonus is your love of LFC 😆✌️👍🏴
love this guy. keeping it real and uncomplicated. cant wait to try some of these.
nice one al.👏👍
Absolutely fabulous , just made it and wishing I’d made twice as much….. excellent curry and great, clear video
Looks like another great curry, the wife loved your latest chicken Bhuna
Made this tonight and tasted amazing. Almost a smoky flavour of it which only added to the immense taste. Had half earlier and added some yogurt to the other half for tomorrow. Cheers.
I'm going to have to try this! 30 years ago, Dilshad in Sutton Coldfield was the place for Pathia, but not been there for many many years. The best drink to go with curry, will always be Mateus Rose!!!
you've already bought me in the beginning as you opened the beer for "internal usage for chef benefit"
the recipe is fantastic!
cheers from Hungary!

Have tried bengal and Parthia both fantastic, thank you for such brilliant recipes .
Made some base curry sauce 2 last night and just couldn't resist knocking up a portion of this sauce that I added King prawns to at the end instead.
Beautiful Al. Thank you man. ✊
Just made it Al. Once again absolutely top notch. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it

Hi I ordered your spices and made pathia it was better than the our usual friday take away .the spices are amazing i am doing korma tomorrow and i can.t wait .i will be back xx
Thank you for this channel! Tried your jalfrezi and it actually had the style and taste of a restaurant curry.
Just had this one mate and its my new favourite. Chasni was my fav but this just pips it. Thank you al, your vids are the best, easy to follow with outstanding results. 👏👏👏
This is the best Parthia I have tasted Absolutely wonderful Thank you
I'm missing the Kasuri Methi and I had only garlic paste so grated some ginger in. I've also got an electric hob. This is still VERY close to my favourite takeaway at home. It's amazing!
I live abroad (Switzerland) and can't find a curry house i love. This has solved that problem. Can't wait for my other spices to arrive at Christmas now!
This is my favourite curry that I love and have it maybe once a month, I have never seen the recipe before. So thanks Al.
Well Al, I’ve only recently found your channel and I’m loving it, haven’t made any curry’s as yet but I’m building up a nice play list, I think my first step will be making the base gravy, and buying a high sided frying pan.
Great video of one of our favourite dishes. Can you please confirm when / where you would add raw chicken?
Thanks
As a newcomer am very much enjoying your videos and I like how you go back on recipes and try to get even better versions. Where are you from your accent is definately not South London?
SE London
Just made this and it was amazing. I used 2 tsp of extra hot chilli powder and the heat to sweetness is perfect for me. Thanks Al!
Great job!
Love a Pathia, never made one as good as this before, it was so good I've made a batch for the freezer, gonna try more of your recipes now, thanks Al keep up the good videos.
First we cooked the base gravvy. Then we looked for an interesting recipe and cooked this curry. Really good and tasty. Thanks for your recipes!
Pathia is my go to dish, love it and don't know anyone who doesn;t, love methi as well in a curry.
Hi mate
Just came across you channel and cooked this recipe tonight and wow it was amazing I love cooking curry but struggled to get the restaurant style taste so thanks for sharing this amazing stuff , I will be following all recipes on this channel keep up good work
Made this earlier and added a bit of mr Naga, was probably one of the nicest curries I’ve ever eaten. Thanks Al
The misses prefers your curries over getting a takeaway! This is her favourite. Thanks Al
First time making this one. No tamarind so HP sauce was used - erm.. Turned out great. Lovely and hot, sweet and sour. Family loved it
Will definitely be making this. Nice one al.
Mate! You’ve started my whole cooking curries at home journey. Absolute legend. And I’m a massive Red. This is my favourite curry with Tiger beer. Up the Reds
Thanks again A. Another fantastic success. Pathia is one of my favourites and I have to say that this was as good as any BIR I've ever had as a takeaway or in a restaurant. I used chicken tikka and king prawns. Brilliant!!!
Just made this as my first! Amazing, youre a legend
Just wanting to thank you Al for all your efforts, ive been saying im gonna start these for over a year...
I finally got all the gear needed. Made the base gravy first and got it spot on, and ive had Pathia twice in the last week, and i can tell you the sauce is better than most takeaways ive had over the last 15+ yrs and as good as, if not better than the best pathia's ive ever had from restaurants.
Im gonna try adding some balti paste next for "Balti Pathia"
Then onto the jalfrezi and Samber
Thx again pal.
I know it’s optional but when does the “squeeze of lemon juice” if wanted , love your videos xx
My third time making this curry. Absolutely fab! 5 Stars Big Al!
Ok mate I’ve mastered it. Chicken tikka pathia. Outrageous. Thanks so much
Only just discovered your channel. Did this tonight and it was superb
All done tonight, excellent taste, and full marks from the little lady, thanks, superb meal...!!!
Made this last night, it was outstanding.. probably my second fav after your Madras Al 👍
Hi Al. Lovely curry but at the end just before serving I adjust sour and sweet with little lime juice and sugar. Came out very well.
Beautiful looking as usual. I ordered one of those burners after seeing it on your last video. I can’t wait to use it tomorrow evening. I saw someone using one on Facebook and they placed an oven rack on top. This allowed them to slide the pan about more easily. An excellent idea I thought.
You sir are a legend. My all time favourite & that looks amazing. Peshwari naan & a side of onion bhaji to go with that Pathia & I'm a happy boy.
Top lad 😉
Oh yes, Pathia my absolute favourite curry. I’ll be giving this a go. Cheers.
Don't delay, my favourite too. Just cooked it, absolutely amazing, better than most pathias in restaurants!
I look forward to hearing more from the "Sunburnt Chef". Love the videos Al, keep 'em coming!
The Mrs favourite one.... Cooking up another batch this weekend of her daughter to take to Uni
About your recipe book Al, did you write one? If you did can you tell me where to get it from please. Love the recipes.
Made this today and it’s my new favourite curry, absolutely fantastic thanks Al
Only tried pathia a few weeks back as I was mainly a dupiaza man but wow what a curry.
Ordered one last night funny enough and will be having the leftovers tonight after putting the Christmas decs up.
Any chance of doing a classic Birmingham chicken balti? Or meat Madras? Nice one Al. I've eaten well with your channel.
Really like the way you explain the all important methods and heat. Very concise and very entertaining. Maybe one day we can look forward to seeing "Al's curry kitchen" tv series ! :-)). Step aside motorcylists with long hair and chefs that swear a lot.
I made this last night using your recipe for Chicken Tikka. Which I cooked on the BBQ. It was delicious. Amazing flavours.
Looks great, will be cooking this tomorrow 👍🏼Thanks Al.
Loved the last Pathia, this one even better ! Probably your best curry yet (I used 1 tablespoon of extra hot curry powder)
Good man.......or girl
James, I’m a big fan, thanks for the efforts you put in
As you said, another banging curry Al, I just did it, it came out amazing !
Thanks
Just made it Al, superb. Thanks so much 👍👍
nice one Al, been making 2 currys a week since i tried your base gravy! COYB
Nice one
Wow Al that Pathia looks real scrummy can't wait to have a go at making it as many others my mouth waters just watching your recipes in the making one question as our family are a greedy lot here and love curries etc would it be possible to make this on a big scale ie for three greedy adults thanks Chas ;-)
Hi Al, loving the channel so much! Quick question re the base gravy, how did you get yours so thin? In mine you can still see the substance even after blitzing a lot? Thanks!
Wow I’ve done a Patia but that looks even better I’ll be doing that this week AL cheers bro
Always loved super hot curries, but my favourite of your recipes is definitely Jalfrezi... Beautiful flavours and great heat combo...
Glad you like them!
Im drinking lidl French grain vodka with your curry's. Taste like grey goose 👍. Another note I use cinnamon as an extra in all of your recipes. It gives extra flavour
Thanks Al. That’s a tasty looking curry. You explain your recipes clearly and concisely, really simple enough to follow. I enjoyed the vid again.
Amazing!
I’d love to see you build a tandoori paneer dish.
Maybe kadai paneer?
Thankyou.
Having a punt at this today, mainly setting up for the bhuna, but will definitely be giving it a taste test, here goes 😘
Just finished the Pathia for tonight, had a sneak taste..WOW.. up there with the Chasni. put a squidge or fresh lemon juice and a splash of Light Soy sauce at the end.. its got all the right, hot, sweet, sour tastes coming through, think the famalam will have a big thumbs up on this, keep it coming Al.
Good stuff! let me know what the family think.
@@AlsKitchen simples... they thought it was excellent as well.
Your curries are really the best ❤
Hands up 🙌🏻 I know I’ve had some banter with you over the years but hats off looks great (like your new approach
What banter mate. Honestly can't remember
wow looks great done a bhuna and madras but that looks amazin
How about stuffed aubergine dish then pan fried or baked in the oven.?
Do you take requests on recipes ?
Will be cooking this for the first time tonight to christen my new Balti Bowls. Cannot wait!! 🌶
"Bloody delicious", the verdict from my Wife. Thanks again Al, another great recipe!
Al, thanks for all the amazing videos you've inspired me to take up cooking these at home!
Hope you enjoy
Im hooked I have recently joined the AA (Al's anonymous) great dishes Al!!!🤗

Been watching your videos for over a week, made the base gravy Friday night and made this Pathia last night. Absolutely incredible. If you had a Patreon or some other funding account I'd be dropping you cash. Incredible how good this.
Cheers fella. Paypal donations welcome Aconst8251@aol.com
My Favorite curry I made this with your old recipe Im watching this whilst drinking a nice bottle of Kelpie an ale that uses seaweed in the mash for an original flavour
Making this tonight excited!! Al just one question will the soy or lemon juice make much of a difference??
Naughty!! For people comment surfing, this is the definitive curry house - from home recipe and channel you need.
Glad to have you back master chef! Thanks to you, my family think I can actually cook LOL.
That's great. Back? Back From where
Omg this was amazing I’m now nominating you for the Christmas honers from the Queen I’ll never go to a curry house again thanks 🙏
Always enjoy your curry recipes this one looks a beauty I know what’s for tea tomorrow 🤗
Just made this; very good mate. Can I ask you for the details of the gas burner you are using. Just can’t get enough heat into my pan
Inbox me somewhere
Yet another one i have to try out Al, banging stuff 👍👍👍
Oh this one is definitely getting a try in the near future. Pathia has been one of my favorites for almost 30 years :-) Nice one Al.
Hope you enjoy it!
How do you know how long to cook the spices for? is there a smell a colour, some way of telling other than taste at the end? Loving the curry's every Friday is an Al's Kitchen night :)
Legend, great video with lots of tips. Thanks
