    Looks absolutely fantastic Al. I'll be giving this a go for sure. I'm a long time viewer, and just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. You bring a rare calmness to cooking curries, which is refreshing for any less experienced cook, like myself. Your approach makes the process look very simple in comparison. You deserve to make a living off this channel, so I hope the subscribers come flocking, although you'll probably put many restaurants out of business if they do! Keep up the great work, mate.

    Quite an authentic way of cooking Indian food actually blending the onions and doing it this way, rather than using base gravy. My missus from Bangalore does it too with the onions and was taught that by her Mum, so yeah.

  • @stevesargant5041
    @stevesargant5041 5 місяців тому +6

    Made this for dinner for myself so I simply cut all the ingredients in half. I tried to buy the Naga pickle but without success so substituted with a tsp of hot chilli powder as recommended. Once the prep has been done the recipe is so simple to follow and the results were first class and the good thing is I get to eat the remainder tomorrow.
    Good job Al.

    Thanks Al, I was hoping you'd do a 30 minute Jalfrezi. Made it tonight and it was lovely. But a tip for others making it; Don't worry about times too much, just cook it until it looks like Al's.
    My 10 minute onion paste cook took almost 20 minutes before it looked like Al's but it made a big difference compared with the Bhuna I made last week. I ignored the clock for the rest and waited until it looked like the video and it was a lovely curry.

    @14723ian 8 місяців тому

    Thank you Al. Your videos have provided me with a method to produce very tasty curries at home. Equivalent to anything from a takeaway. I have however modified your procedure to fit with my own food preparation routine at home, i.e. Chicken Tikka gets pre-mixed in a stand mixer with the dough hook, put in the fridge over night and then frozen into individual portions. The frozen packets of CT get defrosted in a sink of hot water before being air fried and added to the curry I'm making. I do the majority of my cooking in a Thermomix and although I get that the caramelisation and smoky flavour may not be there, this process has made the cooking process a breeze for me as I have the ingredients, steps, quantities and durations laid out in the Thermomix for me and the curries are simply delicious. Thank you again.

    Just done this for lunch and it was sublime. Closet I’ve ever got to BIR. The base gravy shortcut is a great idea. Only thing I did differently was I thought we’d had cinnamon sticks but didn’t so added a quarter teaspoon of powdered cinnamon at the spices stage and five minutes before the end I added about a dozen halved cherry tomatoes and an extra couple of sliced green Thai chillies. Took a bit longer to do as I was only on a regular kitchen stove but probably only ten minutes or so. I see other comments saying get it looking like Al’s rather than just go on time. This is spot on advice

Can I reduce the Naga pickle/sugar amount to say one or two teaspoons to lower the heat or does the amount in this recipe make it so that the sugar balances out the heat without it maiking it too unbearable for those who cannot take the heat?

At the checkout the Asian lady asked me what curry I was making, I mentioned your UA-cam channel and the great garlic chilli chicken video you did the other month. She did mention if you cook a curry always leave it a day to let the flavours mature. She did also say she would be looking you up and pass any comments to you.

    Hey Al, the reason for using different types of oil is due to the different smoke points - this could be worth mentioning as people might burn some of your recipes if they follow visible cues like the oil beginning to smoke.
    For example olive oil will begin to smoke at around 190-210C whereas sunflower oil or other blended vegetable oils might beging to smoke at closer to 230-240C which makes a huge difference on cooking times.
    Just something to think about, thanks for all the great recipes I look forward to seeing your channel continue to grow!

    • @motosnape

    Great Recipe, Al. I use 100% mustard oil in many of my curries: like you I've been cooking them for years - since the 1970's, that's how old I am, LOL
    I know some say that it's not good for you, but it is the same as olive oil many years ago, you could only get it in chemists! However, talking to many Indian, Bengali and Bangladeshi chefs, they tell me they and their countrymen have used it for years and years and they all haven't died off yet: their words, not mine LOL
