      My husband was a taxi driver and most not nights took home the manager of a local restaurant. One day he asked my husband if he would prefer to have a staff curry instead of money as payment. My husband took home a curry every night for years. Needless to say there was never anything left for me next day so I can't tell you if they were as good as he says they were 😮

    I worked in my father's indian restaurants for years and this is the first time I've seen a 'staff curry' cooked. I didn't know people knew about it! It would be very similar to what my mum would cook as an everyday curry too.
    Not bad at all. I would put a question mark over the 'curry powder' as I never saw this in my parents kitchen, it's usually just a mix of what you've already put in. Maybe some salt at the onion stage too. Small criticisms over what looks like a damn authentic looking curry though!
    Please use on the bone meat people, please. All far east countries wouldn't dream of de-boning their meat, it's where all the flavour is! My mum used to cook a lamb bone curry just for me! :D
    Also, I would recommend buying some cinnamon from your local chinese/indian store, you'll find it less sweet and more bark looking.
    I'll check your channel for some more videos Al!

    I always think of bay leaves like using hops when making beer. Cook them for too long and you're left with a bitter almost metallic taste. The later you add them the less bitterness you have, but you retain more herbal character and aroma. Try boiling one for an hour, another for 15 minutes, then put one in a mug and pour boiling water over it and leave it for 5 minutes. You'll taste the difference.

    As a Pakistani chef, i think it looks good! Definately worth a try. But what many of the Pakistani/indian authentic curry makers don't tell you, is that they have secret spice blends. Usually these "secrets" goes back hundreds of years. My family in my Pakistani village uses special spice blends, in perfect harmony with eachother. It is weighed and added together. It just gives it an authentic and rich taste that you otherwise won't get. But you can still get decently close to it even without the spice blend tricks. Nearly every indian/pakistani family have their secret blends and tricks. That's why theirs always taste different, no matter how hard you try to recreate it, it will still be different. Not saying yours is bad, yours could still be even better perhaps, as i've not tasted it yet :).

Post pandemic, I literally haven't even seen fenugreek or turmeric at a grocery store. Anymore I just get whatever off-the-shelf blend is available, and augment it to taste with whatever other spices I have.

    I learnt to cook curries from an Indian chef/teacher. I have a bundle of recipes you would virtually never find in an Indian restaurant here in Oz. Just a few points, personally I wouldn’t use veg oil or even olive oil, but rather grapeseed or even macadamia oil, and probably a bit less than you used. Totally love otherwise the ingredients and techniques, though I did observe you didn’t put in the tomato paste, even though you had it as one. The other thing I was shown was to remove the bay leaves, and cinnamon stick, plus to de-seed the cardamom pods, so that you only use the seeds. I also add the garam
    Masala later but before the fenugreek leaves., as this also was what I was taught. Just small details. I would enjoy this staff curry with some steamed rice, garlic naan bread and a cuchumber (raita).

    Nice one AL, in South Africa, Pretoria my local was called Tirana, I asked the owner what the staff were getting on that particular day. He went and got a plate for me, it was the simplest most extraordinary thing I have ever eaten. Served with roti, it's lamb bones boiled for hours with grated onions, loads of fresh coriander, loads of green chilli's and loads of fresh garlic. Blended and seasoned after hours it's quite thick from the bones. Dip in the roti and enjoy. It blew my mind.

    Bay leaves can add a variety of flavors to curry, including:
    Balance: Bay leaves can balance flavors by adding a touch of bitterness and acidity, which can cut through richness and enhance other flavors.
    Aroma: Bay leaves have an aromatic compound that can help neutralize undesirable tastes.
    Warmth: Bay leaves can add a warming, deep flavor to curries.
    Sweet and savory: Bay leaves can provide a sweet and savory taste that is similar to curry leaves.
    Pairs well with Asian spices: Bay leaves work well with most Asian spices and herbs.

      @deyh5664 Місяць тому +1

      ​​@@chad0x i hardly use it in my Pakistani restaurant. I think it does too little to make it worthwhile. What i did notice: if you use too much bayleaf for the amount of curry, the curry will get a muted taste. Bayleaf will kill the life out of it. So, if you use it, use it in small doses. I suppose it is used to balance out flavors, or to take rough edges off of the curry. But for a restaurant style dinner, people actually love those rough edges. They want a smashing curry, not one that you could eat every day. So, theoretically, bayleaf is more suited for daily home usage. Because you won't handle restaurant style curry every day (home cook curry is different and more suitable for every day "use").

    I do mine the same way but gently brown the whole spices dry then add a few tablespoons of home made ghee instead of oil….helps flovour profile. I also marinade chicken pieces overnight in yhogurt, chillis, fresh ginger, a little salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Makes all the difference as it tenderises the meat and helps flavour. I then part bake in a hot oven for 5-10 mins to seal it before adding to the cooked onions and spices but also add button mushrooms. The rest is as you do it. Garnished with fresh corriander it’s great, really tasty. You can vary heat and intensity by trying different chilli varieties and spice mixes. For a really intense curry I use home grown naga chillis , deseeded. Great with home made chapatis or naan breads.

    For those who aren't "meat on the bone" fans, I have found that soaking the chicken in saline (I use Himalaya pink salt) water for an hour keeps the chicken from drying out when cooking. It also adds a little bit of pre-cooking seasoning.

Got my masala daba filled up now. I halved the recipe and it's still a huge amount. I could eat this all day. I also enjoy a chopped cucumber and onion salad, as well as the coriander to add some freshness. This has been such a first try win for me.

      Wish I'd known about back when I ordering a lot of takeaways a week, and fairly often eating in.
      Would have usually ordered something like a rogan josh as a basic test of a new place, or something off the 'chef special' list if sounded interesting. If food was a bit basic though okay, I'd usually ask for something not on menu the next time to see if worth repeat business.
      Would keep it well within reason, like if a place didn't have phall on menu.

    Y'know Al, you restore the wholesomeness of good life, thanks. I'm so sick of politics, gender wars and wokeness, to restore the joy of living I spend some happy time making a good curry with a cold beer in case of flames.
    I used to live in Africa, which has a large diverse Indian community. Their curries are more traditional, and then there is also a Malaysian influence to make it more interesting.
    I'm a bit over chicken currently and use lamb and beef which I prepare separately for hours (for tenderness) with the more robust spices that can handle the heat and time, then add the stuff you had towards the beginning of your video.
    I have my favourites, and every week I try a new recipe, yours is next 🙂

One of the many great things about the UK is our love of curry, obviously that's the derived term for the food of the Indian sub continent and Asia. In the UK we have the BIR curry, a brilliant culinary invention along with the standard base gravy. Authentic home style curries are different of course but the BIR curry can hold its head up high., once upon a time the majority of the the cooks in the restaurants were of Bangladeshi origin, not sure if that's still true. They were pioneers and created a unique British cultural experience. Shout out and full respect to those cooks. Thanks for posting this video.

    Next time try it without the tin tomatoes, that’s definitely not how staff curry would be made in Bangladeshi restaurants, they may chuck in 1-2 fresh tomatoes but that’s it. Pakistani restaurant staff curry may however have the tinned tomatoes, as their curries tend to have that characteristic sourness from either toms or yoghurt. Bangladeshi authentic curries are predominantly onion based, aside from certain fish dishes (‘tenga’ or ‘khata’) which will use a lot of tomatoes.

    I was employed as a builder by many Indian restaurants , i was amazed at first that they didn't eat the food they served, but much healthier and less oily and salty and often plainer food and no added colorings . I remember asking why they used colorings and they said it sold better ! A busy kitchen is something to behold !

    Kasoori Methi is Fenegriek leaves. And the amount of oil was not needed. Could have gotten away with 1/4 or less, especially if you cooked the spices off in a dry pan to awaken them.
    Bay leaves add a lot of base tone to a dish especially tomatoe based. You can grow it easily in a climate such as the UK. Like a bush. Own grown is much better. So yes they have magic. Also Salam leaves are very interesting especially with beef curries.

    We arrived late at our Fiji hotel's restaurant not long before closing. As soon as we walked in I could smell a delicious curry, however it wasn't one the menu, I asked what the gorgeous smell was and it was the staff chicken curry, which I ordered. It was excellent and I told them they should add it to the otherwise curry-less menu. A week later we went back to the hotel restaurant and yahoo!!... it was on the menu!

    I dreamt your link and then its a recommended view🤔, many years ago I used to deliver for a indian takeaway and honestly the staff curry was the best thing I ever tasted!!!!!
    Meal time was like a ritual, everyone sharing a big plate of food, Ild never sucked off a bone before until I tasted the deliciousness of the marrow in lamb bones in a slow cooked curry😮
