      Thought I'd commented but it didn't show up...
      A suggestion? How about once or twice a year meeting up with five or six fans and all have to produce one of the curries? Afterwards everyone gets to try everything in the curry night. Tips tricks and banter can be swapped all washed down with a few bevvies. Maybe a guest chef could also take part to add extra comments?

      ​@@nicholassutton1134 That's why I'm bald with long hair :-) Ok First Stop pulling the hair out, and secondly immediately under the video you'll see the word "more"
      There it expands to all the alternative links to buy merchandise (Al gets a tiny percentage I think)
      Under that there's a list of all the ingredients. The recipe isn't printed, you need to follow the videos. I've heard a whisper there might be a book in the offing, but who knows?
      Most Indian dishes follow a procedure though. Onions - garlic/ginger - spices - tomatoes. With dozens of variations of course;-)
      Hope the new hairstyle suits, and you find your way...if not ask again.

    Al THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
    We emigrated to Australia a few years ago from Macclesfield where we enjoyed great curry. The dhansak was THE curry that got me hooked on Indian cuisine. Since being away we have not had much luck finding a restaurant that does similar to BIR. But you my man have saved the day. Cooked this today and I really had to hold myself back not to eat all four portions. Absolutely amazing. Thanks again from down under. Garlic chilli chicken next…

  • @David-hz5cl

    I made this one tonight, blooming delicious.
    I have to eat healthily these days, so I wanted something with more veggies in. I only used 4 tbsp of olive oil and added some precooked mushrooms. Sorry, no pineapple. It was so satisfying and filling. And so healthy, thanks, Al, you smashed it again .

  • @moedeeb

    I made tins in stages today as expecting new baby grandson and looking after granddaughter . I followed all quantities and cheated using some pre made and frozen curry gravy Bhuna onions and tomato pure. So really a combination of Alls kitchen, Not another Curry show and Latifs inspired. I used Alls Basra mix and it is genuinely great.The result was better than any takeaways, Keep up the good work !,

    Have been meaning to get round to this one for a while, finally did it this weekend. What a treat! I'm totally onboard with the pineapple chunks - they add a nice variety to the flavor and texture, and the juice sweetens the sauce nicely. I did soak the lentils beforehand and added extra chilli powder, but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter, and it was a sensational curry. My (general) suggestion for anyone who can be bothered is to try making your own garam masala by lightly toasting whole spices and grinding them. It's a bit of an investment of time, but honestly, the difference is incredible. Give it a try. Thanks as always, Al - your curries are top shelf!

    Made up a double batch last night (minus the pineapple). Tasted very much like my usual favourite curry, and today, spooning the rest into tupperware for the freezer, it really did smell like I was boxing up the remains of a takeaway. Keep up the great work Al!

    love this, i put 4 pineapple rings in with some juice, the sweetness it gives off is amazing, id have never thought about putting pineapple in a ruby, i did add an extra tsp of extra hot chilli powder though, its sitting in a pot on the stove as we speak, i keep going back to it with a spoon, very morish

  • @stevethomas621
    @stevethomas621 Рік тому +2

    Hi Al, another brilliant curry and some in the freezer. What more could you want. Always would ask for pineapple when choosing a Dansak it's only to add sweetness, so we just fish it out rather than eat it. Some restaurants over sweeten using sugar, and that's not nice. I didn't use hot chilli powder. Just substituted with more Kashmir. Keep up the excellent work. You need to do a book!

  • @jimedwards7349
    @jimedwards7349 Рік тому +4

    On the subject of Al's shall I, shan't I, pineapple question. Our house almost always adds fruit to our curries, whatever they are.
    It's generally half a sliced banana on top of the finished dish or even some halved green grapes.
    If you've never tried it you really should. Food is all about experimenting or adding new things to see if you can improve on the original.

I’m not a cook by any means but followed your process (apart from the Kashmir Chilli that I can’t find anywhere) and it’s turned out bloody awesome. Took me slightly longer (about 1.5hrs 😂) but we’ll worth it! Gonna sit down in abit with a cider, chapatis and a massive cauldron of my efforts 😊 cheers mate 👍👍

      @georgeprout42 Рік тому

      Nooooo!
      Homemade naans are so easy if you have a gas hob. I even invested in a cast iron tawa to make life easier. Misty Ricardo/Happy Chris recipe. They come out way better than my local takeaway (which admittedly suffer from steaming in a foil bag for ten minutes).
      I always have dough balls in the freezer, I just need to remember to defrost one.

    I think the Indians who run the BIR's used the pineapple chunks as a replacement for the hard-to-find-in-britian green mango chunks. I think they use green mango chunks or green mango powder/paste as a souring agent in india

But the best Dhansak I've ever had was from a takeaway in Windermere (which is obviously North) that had pineapple and lemon slices in it, which I can only guess were actually in there from the start of the cooking process. It was F**KING delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipes, take it easy! 🙂😋😋
