    I've been cooking Al's recipes for a few months now. Done the bhuna, the pathia, the ceylon, the vindaloo, and the chasni. Every one of them is an absolute banger, proper restaurant taste and texture. Can't recommend these curries highly enough. Once you get started by accumulating the spices, getting the right kind of pan, making your first batch of base gravy... the rest is a piece of cake. You can be knocking out incredible curries at the drop of a hat. The dhansak is on the menu for tomorrow! Thanks Al!!

    During this Lock-down, I have been inspired by these videos Al. I have always prided myself on my ability to be able to cook egg and chips for England, and added a few heated baked beans and, now and again, do the odd baked spud with Butter or Tuna and Mayo. After watching a couple of your vids, I ordered a selection of spices from Amazon and a pan, made your base gravy and wow......... my wife loves me again !
    I now cook curries at least 3 times a week.

    Made base gravy 1 as I didn’t have all the ingredients for 2 and then this was my first recipe with it - absolutely spot on! You’ve changed my curry life Al! Keep up the great work. From Galway, Ireland via John Robins

    Hi Al,
    Like many I guess, I discovered you through John Robins. I made your base gravy a couple of weeks ago and since then we (my family of 5) have had 3 of your curries, 2 of which were this dhansak. I’m not a bad cook, but I couldn’t believe how easy your recipes are or how like my local Indian takeaway they were. Absolutely love your recipes and the way you do your videos. My 5 year old said I can take the spices up a level if I want lol. Good job man.

  • @Red_Snappa
    @Red_Snappa 4 роки тому +1

    Handy being able to keep an eye on what you do with your temps during the cooking Al. At first I thought your 'Full' setting was at the 9 o' clock mark on your dial, but watching again I noticed (right at the very beginning for a sec) it was past that....around the 10 o' clock mark, then you turned it down to do the main cooking at about 7 o' clock. Is that about right for most of your curries? I've seen so many videos where people say to 'turn it up to the max' once the spices are done & the base is going in, but I just end up frazzing my curries (on my cooker at least), so I've found it better to cook around 50% heat!

I am a serious curry addict and started making your curry gravy and madras recipes about 2 years ago, you have changed my life. I'd tried for years making different curries and never made anything anywhere near similar to British takeaway before, your recipes are spot on. I'm searching franticly to find a better Dhansak recipe now so that you'll come round and cook one for me. Thanks so much from Essex.

    Dhansak is by far my favourite curry. I must have ordered hundreds of them over the years. Always read the menu but always order a dhansak. Some are light orange coloured but I've always found the darker colour ones tastier. This one looks more like a darker colour one. Ketchup? Never imagined that would be in it. Maybe that's the secret ingredient? I'm going to try this recipe next. Looks perfect.

    Wow, just wow. I followed your base gravy recipe. Then followed you chicken tikka recipe which I cooked on the BBQ. At that point I was thinking they are both nice but certainly not BIR smells. Then once I combined those two with this recipe the flavours and smells came together and my kitchen smelling like a Friday night walking past a restaurant.

    Hi Al, great recipe - Dhansak is a long-time favourite of mine. Here in Greece we can get pretty much all the spices etc, but fresh coriander is not always easy to obtain. I know there is a difference in taste, and fresh coriander looks nicer, but could powdered coriander be used in stage 1 of your base stock and if so, how much would you recommend?

    nice one mate looks spot on i Love a Dhansak, my dad and his side of the family is from India with Persian ancestors so Dhansak has always been popular in the family. i remember they always used tinned pineapple the juice and all in Dhansak so it might be worth giving it a go. Also, can't believe you Mentioned Elmers End that's where I grew up on Mardell rd. next to Bywoods
