we will see mate - Ive been cooking them for 40 years can change them up a bit from the usual stuff that's made. Love curries more than most fodder I can tell you. Best, Rik
Thank you - I'm really not sure its the best - its same but different. There are many ways to make a great curry at home - even in a restaurant. Thanks again. Best, Rik
Just made this with a few differences; I didnt have any cinnamon stick or black cardamon, so used 3 green ones and a small star anise. Instead of onion paste, as i didnt have time to knock up the paste using your method i ended up blending 1 and a half medium onions with a bit of veg oil until virtually a paste. I then cooked this out until the onion started to change colour. Then went in with the ginger and garlic. And followed the method from there on. I have to say it was very close if not spot on to my local Indian takeaway. I didnt add as much water as the base sauce was already plenty. Only added a few splashes of water at the onion/spice stage to stop the paste sticking and burning. Thank you so much for your videos! I only come across your channel last week, i have been a follower of the other popular BIR curry channels and i thought this is well worth a go!
Also didnt have any pepper or fresh lemon, I just used a tablespoon of the bottled stuff. Next time I think I will make more effort to add in some fresh lemon and tomatoes toward the end
Cheers Mike - you obviously cook a bit - I've worked professionally making curries over the years and I can recreate the TASTE or virtually the taste of any bir without doing the whole bir shebang - The onion paste is the way to go - it can be frozen in portions just like bir gravy - I personally like to cook this way these days . I hope to help others to cook without boiling that pan of stinking sour onions. I had years of that and would rather smell roasted - its more pleasant. Thanks for your comment really appreciate you taking time and making the recipe. Best, Rik
@NOT ANOTHER CURRY SHOW SAME BUT DIFFERENT Thanks for the reply Rik, whilst the other channels promote the use of Base gravy etc. Like you say it is a whole load of shebang and a night's worth of cooking just to get some base gravy knocked up. Let alone the headache of getting all the ingredients together for it. These curries with out having to do that is spot on. I will most definitely be trying out your onion paste method. I would like to know if you happen to have the same style in making a Korma and a tikka? Just as the kids like the milder curries and it would be really great if it can be done the same way. All the best Mike
@@mikev2601 Yes Mike and I will be making very soon - I have made thousands of pans of base - got to really dislike the stench - These curries you will find in some cases taste better than or as equally as good as a restaurant curry - funnily enough I was prompted that Latif had just almost to the tea put up some Bombay potatoes 2 weeks after me - cooked virtually the same way - he has 60k views I have 4k but nice to know that I was an inspiration - its not a coincidence - tomorrow is a Dhansak but a cross over from bir to tradiitonal to home its easy and its fantastic. Best, Rik
@NOT ANOTHER CURRY SHOW SAME BUT DIFFERENT That's great Rik, I look forward to seeing all the future videos. I am a follower of latifs but I havent been able to watch any of his latest. It just so happened that the algorithm brought me to you at the right time and place. You could say it was a coincidence regarding his bombay potato recipe. I am yet to check your one out and then I'll check his one out to see what you mean about being similar All the best
Only tip and always remember mate - your curries will excel - if using Kasoori methi - bung it in at the end - do not give it chance to bitter your curry. Best, Rik
@@NOTANOTHERCURRYSHOWSAMEButDiff Yes other channels put it in early and crush it in there hands but following your five minute before end of cooking rule from now on 👌
Hi Rik absolute belter of curry vids, think you should patent the onion paste, like you said after 2hrs of boiling onions the kitchen smells for days, you did'nt say when to put the salt,nutmeg,sugar and othe other spices, do they all go in at the same time as the mixed powder. thanks grahame
Yes mate chuck all spices in apart from any Kasoori Methi - mine was old so it went in at the same time - all my new stronger flavour methi goes in the curries last 5 mins tops - or you may have a bitter taste. Best, Rik 01:38
Mark no worries with the recipe mate at all -= you will get two portions easily from this - just add the extra chicken and cook out - a little extra water to make up the sauce and at a push an extra tbsp of onion paste - that's it easy really - don't worry about doubling the spices etc - that's a load of tosh - if there is too much spice it will give a bitter taste even after cooking out properly. If you get stuck give me a shout. Best, Rik
Thinking about making this soon but just wanted to check something. Your recipe calls for a tablespoon of Kashmiri chilli powder which I thought was a fairly mild chilli but you say hot. Is this a hot version of this chilli powder, or is it the quantity which makes it hot? Also, a whole tablespoon of mix or curry powder seems a lot for the size of the dish you show in the video. Thanks.
Heloo Rik, fab recipe . Can i ask , in the description you just say diced chicken breast, if i want to make this for 4 people do i need to up the gravy ingredients? Hope my questiion makes sense.
Yes but you know Increase the chicken and the onion paste by a couple of tbsp add a little more water that gives you more gravy and it will be good to go - if you add 1/2 other ingredients - definitely good to go. add the methi at the end of cooking stops bitterness. Best, Rik
Hi Rik. Is your Tamarind pulp or concentrated (or just sauce - I use the sauce made by Maggi) This does looks belting to be fair. Also when you were blooming the spices, the cam was still focused on the pan so it was hard to see the flame you had...was it like low (20%ish of your cooker's max or medium (50%ish)?
Sorry I missed a reply to you - The tamarind I used is straight from a jar Tamarind Paste - we normally have quite a lot of fresh - I realise folks do not have access to the things I have in Asia and vice versa I can't get hold of things in Blighty - so to simplify this straight from a jar. Best, Rik
Looks fabulous Rik, you really are the King of Curries! This channel has SOOOO MUCH POTENTIAL!
we will see mate - Ive been cooking them for 40 years can change them up a bit from the usual stuff that's made. Love curries more than most fodder I can tell you. Best, Rik
Makes cooking curry a lot more controlled rather than high heat and go go go.
Love it, thanks rik
Simple is the way to go to achieve the results you need Wayne. Best, Rik
This channel is the best curry channel without doubt ! It has completely changed the way I cook curry !!
Thank you - I'm really not sure its the best - its same but different. There are many ways to make a great curry at home - even in a restaurant. Thanks again. Best, Rik
Looks lovely and it sounds very tasting . Will be making it today

Cheers Jed - nice curry - love the sour sweet and heat. Best Rik

love it keep um coming 👍👍
There will be many. Best, Rik
another fab dish !! is there a sub for tamarind....a spot of vinegar maybe? cheers Rik
Better with Worcestershire sauce or even 1 tbsp of ketchup. Best, Rik
Looks amazing! You should tell people that the full details are in the description box at the start of the vid. Subscribed.
Thanks I will start to do that. Best, Rik
Looks fantastic! How do I make enough for two people please? I guess liquid is doubled but how about the spices?

I use hot chili powder - tailor to taste - again mixed powder curry powder use what you are used to. Best, Rik

It does make sense. Yes up the gravy. Best, Rik
To increase the recipe for 2 people would you double the chicken and only increase the other ingredients by half? Thanks. Dave.
Yes but you know Increase the chicken and the onion paste by a couple of tbsp add a little more water that gives you more gravy and it will be good to go - if you add 1/2 other ingredients - definitely good to go. add the methi at the end of cooking stops bitterness. Best, Rik
Hi Rik how much tamarind should i use i only have concentrated tamarind, many thanks 🙂
Hi David no worries 1 tsp - level - there is an element of sour in this curry. Best, Rik
what mango . tined fresh or jar? cherrs
Hi Dave - Mango puree / Chutney sweet - out of a jar if no homemade - convenience - Best, Rik
Hi Rik. Is your Tamarind pulp or concentrated (or just sauce - I use the sauce made by Maggi) This does looks belting to be fair.

Flame about 20% - 30% - You have to be able to cook not boil to bring the best out of the dried spices. Best, Rik
Sorry I missed a reply to you - The tamarind I used is straight from a jar Tamarind Paste - we normally have quite a lot of fresh - I realise folks do not have access to the things I have in Asia and vice versa I can't get hold of things in Blighty - so to simplify this straight from a jar.

Superb curry .... If I was to make this for 5 people how would I adjust the spice ingredients
The tomato paste is it tomato puree watered down or passata?
