    Oh good grief this is a wonderful video! Thank you so much MistyRicardo, especially for making the clearest cooking video anywhere on UA-cam. THIS is the way to do it; no glitz, no razzamatazz, just a camera on the pan and ingredients listed as they are added, techniques outlined as we go through them.
    I've always eaten chicken phall (unless I had work the next day) and didn't realise this fantastic bit of BIR cooking was on UA-cam. Heaps of praise upon MR for cooking and posting this, I'm eternally grateful (if not internally grateful) to you.
    The first time I had a phall was in 1978 here in the UK (Manzil Tandoori in Southampton) and the next morning was driving back home to Portsmouth. I had to stop the car several times to get out and roll around in total gut agony on the grass, and only found relief upon arriving home and communing with the chinaware. Ever since that weekend I've been addicted to BIR chicken phall. The large amount of well-cooked chilli gives one a capsaicin high like nothing else, and addiction is inevitable despite any associated pain.
    I have tried to find this dish in my travels all over the world, and never succeeded. I ordered one in 2001 in an Indian restaurant in Brisbane, and the Indian 'chef' had to ask me how to make it. What he concocted was absolutely inedible.
    It was then I realised that in the UK we are absolutely blessed with this style of cuisine - one which I have never seen matched for flavour with any type of cooking anywhere in the world. I don't care where you go or how much people rave about their favourite cuisine, THIS is the very best in the world. Thank you lovely Bangladeshi chefs!
    Thankfully now because of UA-cam and master chefs like MistyRicardo people across the globe can enjoy the wonders of these spectacular British Indian Restaurant (BIR) dishes, invariably created by highly skilled Bangladeshi chefs. Until you've tasted a good vindaloo, tindaloo or phall with simple pilau rice and garlic naan, your tastebuds haven't been truly excited.

Equivalent of 5tbsp of chilli powder plus the Naga, it sounds dangerous but maybe that is just what is needed! Cheers for the video

    Just a small suggestion if I may.... use a stiff silicone or even a heat proof plastic spatula instead of a metal spoon, you are scraping lots of unnoticeable aluminum particles into this amazing dish. Great video thanks for sharing your expertise.

    • @MistyRicardo
      @MistyRicardo  5 років тому +2

  • @steveparadox1

    Hi Richard.
    I made this a couple of days ago and it was excellent - nicer than the phaal i get from my favourite takeaway (I live Oldham so there's quite a choice!).
    I'm veggie so I swapped the lamb for fried paneer cubes and veg.
    Thanks very much & love your work.

      Richard Tootill hi Richard. Thanks for commenting, and I’m glad you liked it. Which brands of the chilli powders/flakes did you use, out of interest? Ie been to Sonali supermarket in Oldham a few times... a good selection there.

    • @richardtootill9874
      @richardtootill9874 6 років тому +2

      Thanks for getting back to me. Quite exciting - like getting a letter from a favourite rockstar! Or being acknowledged by my Kung Fu sifu!
      Kashmiri chilli powder = Heera (brilliant vivid red). I've had a bit of trouble getting this in Oldham for some reason, so I now get it from ASM in Ashton
      Chilli powder = Indus (not extra hot because I wanted to really taste it. I'll take the heat up a notch next time with Rajah Ex Hot)
      Flakes = TRS (nice rich dark colour - less heat than the brighter Rajah but at this stage in my cooking journey I prefer it )
      I didn't know about Sonali and I drive past it all the time! I'll check it out soon. I love going to new places so thanks for for the mention.
      I've just recently got to the stage where I'm vey happy with my base gravy and the doors to a new world have been opened! Your Phall impressed me particularly as to have the intensity of heat AND depth of flavour is a fine balance which I think you got brilliantly.

    Hi Ricardo, how do you know when the spices are cooked correctly in order to get the most flavour out of em?

    • @MistyRicardo
      @MistyRicardo  8 років тому +3

      +Paul Shutt hi Paul. The most important thing when cooking powdered spices in BIR cooking is to FRY them, not boil. In practice you need long enough in hot oil to do that, but it's easy to burn. So, a good practice is to fry them until the pan seems dry with the spices having absorbed the oil, then quench with a little Base Gravy or even water. To answer your question though... oil separation is the main one. If you are talking about whole spices, its a case of using your nose to detect the strong aroma... Enough to release the essential oils, but not enough to burn. Hope this helps. My head now hurts.

    • @MistyRicardo
      @MistyRicardo  8 років тому +2

      +Paul Shutt I've just noticed your comment was about the Phaal video.... So... Lots of Chilli powder in this, which needs to be cooked out otherwise you get a harsh powder flavour and/or unfortunate bathroom consequences. Fry and fry some more but don't burn (as per video). Add a little base gravy or water to stop burning whenever it starts sticking to the pan. Oil separation is a good sign of it nearly being cooked properly.

    • @MistyRicardo
      @MistyRicardo  7 років тому +1

      ... and a quick response: I prefer to use base gravy (when adding to a curry) that's the consistency of semi skimmed milk. My base gravy recipe produces a 2 x thick consistency which is great for freezing to save freezer space. Water it down before using.

  • @chriswalls5648

    I followed ur recipe but I added a onion and blended it all up I added Kashmiri dried red chillis that I soaked as well as chill powder for Flavior and color. My question is once I blended the paste up I was left with an after taste that I can only presume was the methi or the fennel
    I put 2 black cardamom and 2 green cardamon in the base gravy but when Syvd the mix I couldn’t taste that strong sweet taste associated with cardamons so I’m guessing the flavours came from the methi or fennel because I blended it up
    I’m gonna do it again this week. Should I add 1/2 teaspoons of methi and fennel if I’m blending it up ? Thanks

    • @MistyRicardo
      @MistyRicardo  7 років тому

      Good Job Gary. As you will know, a key technique is to give plenty of time for the chilli powder to cook properly, otherwise it will taste too harsh, and you're (more) likely to have 'after effects'. When I was filming the video (well over a year ago now), I had to suppress coughing so it didn't feature on the soundtrack. Torture. Anyway, glad you liked it and thanks for making.

    That's gonna hurt, but I have to try it. Maybe in the summer because my other half has banned me from BIR cooking unless all doors and windows are open. I can hear from your cough that this dish would be an issue. At the moment I'm converting some of these recipes to slow cooked on the bone and in large amounts to be frozen. Dan's chilli garlic chicken is next for this treatment. I have a plan. If it works I'll put the recipe on a relevant thread. Thanks again MRCK.

    Some sound techniques here and along with 4 or 5 other cooks on these channels reproducing the BIR style, highly commendable. However, being purely objective and without personally offending some of you cooks out there, it's just an opinion that you might want to think about switching your pans and spoon hardware. There's a lot of aluminium pans and steel chef's spoons, (scraping etc.) being used and even some pan/wok/karai combos that were originally 'non-stick' coated. I know there's no proof about aluminium being related to Alzheimers or Teflon derivatives being potentially carcinogenic, but why not just use a carbon steel wok, stainless steel and/or cast-iron pans? I must have had thousands of ruby house specials over the last 40 years, and no doubt they were cooked in aluminium pans, but I've been using cast -iron at home now for over 10 years. It just keeps me a bit saner. Hope nobody takes my remarks the wrong way. I'd like to go on about various oils and smoke points etc., but that's for another(controversial) day! I've just done a genuine mutton curry in my stainless steel pressure cooker...I might even get round to filming it one time. And yes, I've used various combos of data off these cooks channels to help me perfect it. Base gravy, mix powder, cooking sequences etc. Extremely informative. Thank you.

    Hi MistyRicardo, did the same curry today but with a splash of balsamic vinegar and a tsp of tomato ketchup. Was yummy again and my Evil child says so too :) Question, i notice that you use normal clear oil and not seasoned oil, like some chefs do? Can you tell me why?? And also I noticed some chefs use ghee instead of oil at the start of cooking and then add some seasoned oil near the end. I suppose this is for taste but what do you thinks? Thanks again - you are a star ;)

      Hi, so Seasoned Oil: There's no doubt that it's one of the things that enhances BIR flavour. Takeaways/Restaurants have it in abundance with all the bhaji oil and spooned off excess oil from pre-cooked ingredients and finished curries. My videos focus on how to replicate BIR flavour at home (as much as possible), and it's not practical to produce GOOD seasoned oil unless you are doing a LOT of cooking. Also, I find seasoned oil can be a little icky. My preference is to (usually) use clean Veg or Sunflower oil to start curries, as I like a cleaner flavour, but I sometimes use Veg or Butter ghee or half oil/ghee... depends on the curry. Ghee gives a more rounded flavour. I do sometimes add Ghee as a finishing touch, as it gives a nice sheen as well as the flavour. Also, Ghee works well in rice dishes.

      So you made a sort of Vindaloo/Phall Hybrid. Balsamic Vinegar eh ? Did the delicate flavour poke through enough ? Thanks for the feedback.

    • @scabbyrat1
      @scabbyrat1 7 років тому

      Yup, it sure did...just a tiny bit. .not really noticed the vinegar taste but am sure there was a little hint ;) Only did it cos I love Balsamic :) Tnx for the comments on seasoned oil too. I find it a lot of work to make some and to be honest... I think it can be missed if you add some onion paste near the end. Onion paste is much easier to make too :) Thanks again for your comments! So what is your favorite curry to make??

    • @MistyRicardo

      +Lawrence Gabriel Forest it's just for a little balance of flavour Lawrence. There's a lot of chilli powder in this recipe, and despite being cooked properly, a little bit of sugar helps the medicine go down (so to speak). It's a good question though, and in most cases the base gravy caramelisation should provide ample balance.

    For me the better way is to use raw meat rather than pre cooked. Especially if you dont want dry chicken. I did this to the letter. Although I added raw chicken and lamb pieces midway through cooking.

    Followed your recipe as closely as possible. However, it tasted at about the Vindaloo Spice Heat level. My next attempt will be to add Ghost pepper to get that extra kick!
    With the final result, the recipe barely served 4 people. Should I double everything for 8 people's serving?

    • @MistyRicardo
      @MistyRicardo  7 років тому

      Hi Faisal. I'm surprised it was only as hot as a Vindaloo for you. Maybe you are used to having extremely hot vindaloos? The recipe is for 1 very generous portion that will serve up to two people. For this recipe, I would not double up to make more. Make it twice (or more times) instead.

    • @fak66
      @fak66 7 років тому +1

      The Vindaloo that I eat is usually in Manchester and London. Maybe the years of smoking have probably killed my taste buds.
      Will make two simultaneous batches. In grams or oz. what would you say the amount of meat was that you would have used in your video?

    • @MistyRicardo
      @MistyRicardo  7 років тому

      Faisal Khan In the video it was probably about 160g of pre-cooked Lamb. I usually put more in if I'm cooking for others. If in doubt 200g (with a bit of the pre-cook sauce).

    Nice recipe, I was definitely drooling while watching it.
    Also, please use a wooden spoon next time. It seems you understand how to cook, but I don't understand why you used a metal spoon and constantly scraped the bottom of that aluminum frying pan...

    • @StoneCut
      @StoneCut 7 років тому +3

      Because the "secret" to tranforming a good curry into a great curry is the controlled "catching" of the base gravy on the bottom and the sides of the pan. It's this thick caramelised base gravy which gets scraped up and stirred into the curry that gives the best flavour.
      Using a coated pan will prevent the gravy from ever sticking there so the reaction won't happen which rules them out. Also, thin aluminium pans are used because they react to changes in temperature much faster than cast iron or thick stainless pans (also they're cheap).
      These videos try to replicate the exact process that happens in a takeaway or restaurant - including the equipment that's used there.
