Always come back to Babul's methods when choosing what curry we're going to have on a weekend. Just done his Dopiaza - it's 👌....But if I could offer one bit of feedback - zoom out a touch from the actual curry, and show more of what you're doing with the HEAT (I've learned from watching his videos since finding his channel, that on these non-base gravy recipes...to keep it longer - on the LOWER heat settings) Top, top chef.
Hi the amount of water made it look thin is this because it’s chicken or does the lamb thicken more if not what do you use to thicken I usually use a bit of cornflower thinned have you a better idea as I don’t want to spoil it looks amazing as all your curry’s do.
Hi great question and thanks for asking, generally the madras is a more thin sauce, to thicken it I would use more onion and tomato’s when make the base/curry sauce and cornflour works well as well. Hope this helps and enjoy 🙌🙌
Thanks so much, I would add another tsp of mix curry powder for beef, another 0.5 tsp of ginger garlic paste, apart from that you can follow the same process, again salt and chilli powder to your taste. Thanks again
I made this curry this evening. It was excellent thanks to your thorough and easy to follow tutorial. All the family loved it. Thank you! Would it be the same ingredients if I were to substitute Chicken for lamb?
Hey that’s awesome to hear so pleased it was a hit with family. Yes you can follow the same recipe for Lamb however do add 1 tsp Cumin powder please. Hope this helps and enjoy 😊 Edit. Also here is a staff lamb curry recipe from our channel. ua-cam.com/video/ONmpJv7Eo0I/v-deo.html
@@TheBengaliCook I am a new subscriber and will be trying your no nonsense approach to bir tikka Masala having used very elaborate recipes in the past. 👍
Big thank you bengali cook 🙏 top man it was me who asked to make this you made my day can't wait to make this cheers best chef on youtube keep up the good work thanks dale
Love this more traditional way of cooking curries. I prefer to use more onions, say about 600g, for more sauce, so that I can freeze a portion or two. I notice around 6m30s into the video that you had loads more oil still bubbling away than I do when using the same amounts of it (2-3 chef spoons) that you've used - mine seems disappear or to get absorbed into the onions - rather than frying them. What am I doing wrong....oil not hot enough when they go in, or more oil needed for more onions used? I appreciate the fact that you've spent longer on this part of the process....considering it's such an important part of cooking a curry, most YT guides seem to skip or edit-out this part, so thank you.
Hey thanks so much and I really appreciate your comments and support. Absolutely, focusing and spending more time on the important elements is the key. Regards to the oil you should have enough to cook/fry/caramelise the onions etc you can always leave it on low heat and stir occasionally, this process will take longer but it’s worth having those onions beautifully caramelised and will give more depth to the flavours. Hope this helps pal.
hello mate.i just like a plain curry in my local indian restraunt. what would the ingrediants for that be?would it be similar to your madras but with no chilli?thank you
Thanks so much, you can leave it on heat for longer which will reduce the sauce and make it thick or as you as pointed out use less water, if you do this then please make sure the spice is cooked well. Appreciate your support 👍🏼
This is a banger - up sizing it some more next time so i can freeze more portions. Only difference is I added black pepper corns, coriander stems, some coconut powder and might try a little single cream with it too. Nice all rounder. cheers.
@@TheBengaliCook If you add pepper corns like I did - id switch it to black ground pepper, i chewed about 8 pepper corns that had only cooked for 45 minutes. lol
Hey thanks a lot, yes it’s the same mix curry powder but added more coriander, turmeric etc to enhance the flavours more (sauce and chicken - chicken isn’t precooked). Hope this helps bud
Great post you explain it all so well Your attention to detail is the best I have seen on a BIR cooking channel and I have seen most, I have a question why add the Methi at the end and not with the spices NBJC
Cheers bud, great to hear from you! I find adding at the end it releases the flavours better, guess it’s like a garnish you can taste better etc by all means I do have recipes where add with spices which also works well but you get that fresh (if I can call it that) bite of methi flavours. Give it ago and see which you prefer mate. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you soon 😀😀
Could this method be used without cooking the meat for a nice BIR madras sauce and then portioned out for another day when i can add meat or veggies of choice?
Hey thanks for asking, you can check it out on this video, I did a LIVE demonstration. Thanks again and enjoy 😀 ua-cam.com/video/byJhDtBW_DY/v-deo.html
@@ceribaldwin8555 apologies just saw this message, so you can cook in two pots just follow the recipe recipe which will be easier or if you want to cook in one pot, I would recommend approx 1.5x the spices and ingredients. Hope this helps
Yeah definitely not as thick sauce as BIR madras, you can cook it for longer to thicken the sauce to your preference. Thanks again and hope you enjoy the recipe 🙌🙌
It’s fresh Ginger & garlic paste that I’ve made before making the video, the concept of this recipe is BIR with some home cooking elements. Anyway all the best and thanks for stopping by 👋
