It would mean the world to me if you could support the channel by purchasing an apron. They are great quality and would make a really good present. BUY HERE bit.ly/3NJ4Xeb
I have cooked this today - had to do some improvisation on a couple of ingredients - made a coconut milk paste instead of powder from a block, and I had no chilli/lime pickle so mixed some Mr Naga with the same volume of lime juice. It is by far and away the best thing I have done in 40 years of cooking curry at home.
I made this last night and I can honestly say it’s on another level, by far the best garlic chilli chicken I’ve ever tasted, I’ve made other variants of this dish and replicated restaurant takeaway tastes but this is something else altogether 👌🏻.
You two should do more videos like this now and again, the banter is good. I agree about how hard it is to get a decent BIR curry these days compared to back in the 80's and early 90's (for me) when you could expect consistency and dishes that actually had their own distinct tastes. Add to that they're not cheap if you make a mistake. Keep up the good work.
Such a good point - the Indian restaurant market is so different these days vs 15+ yrs ago, (at least in London) you often either have uber-up market wanna be Michelin or cheap & not so cheerful places... the good family run dependable Bangladeshi places are much fewer... imho
Wow to see to guys bounce off each other with there passion for cooking Indian curry , amazing , curry looked amazing , big up to Aron , AL looked nervous about having someone else cook in his kitchen , great show keep up the great work , going to try this one 5 ⭐️👍
Once again massive thanks to you and Aaron the curry king. Just made this for the second time for guests. Twice now i've been told it's the best curry they've ever had. Perhaps a return to share his Madras ?
Made this using exact same ingredients and base over the weekend and yes, I can confirm that it is super yummy! Takes a while but is really worth it. Well done people and keep up the fab work :)
I have been cooking curries for years and even in my later years cooking curries as a business in the South of France. This recipe blew my mind. I cooked it tonight exactly as it was in the video and the whole family loved it. I wish I'd known about this while I was running my business because it knocks socks off what my Garlic Chilli Chicken was. Hats off to you. Bloody amazing.
I've ate a lot of Curry's in my time, fav food. Started cooking them after watching Al, probably cooked around 100 or so. This is the best curry I've ever eaten, better than any restaurant. Genuine. Al, bring him back get him doing another dish. Amazing
There’s nothing wrong with that Aldi lager at all and I know my beers. It’s pure snobbery the ones who slate it. A lot of their German beers are fantastic
Have just made this and taken my first taste. Out of this world. What's flavours and all blend in beautifully together!!! Time to settle down and enjoy
Very enjoyable video of Al and Aron's joint cooking show ! Look forward to see more of this if possible. The unique recipe, demo and presentation were excellent. The garlic chilli chicken tikka masala looked amazingly delicious and gorgeous. This is The Best Recipe. Thank you so much Al and Aron !! God bless you both !!
Oh my word - that recipe is out of this world! I appreciate the pains-taking time you researched how to make that!!! My only suggestion would be 0.5-1 less teaspoon of paprika. The sweet chilli sauce and lime pickle in there are life-changing experiences!!!! Seriously guys, amazing!
I'm just waiting on my ghee getting delivered and it's getting made this week. I made a curry from Al's recipe the other week and invited my parents for dinner and they both said it was better than the takeaways they get there's from. So glad your back doing these Currys AL keep doing what Ur doing you deserve your RU-vid trophy
Have just made this again this morning. This time exactly as per recipe, well except I only had double cream instead of single, and I used another chicken tikka recipe for my tikka, but apart from that…100% exact😅 Actually used the Bassar powder this time instead of Als mixed powder. Used all the chillies but took the seeds out. This is, if you take the time to prepare all the ingredients like I did and put them all in little pots, a really easy to follow recipe and relatively quick curry! I’ve made it up to the point of adding the Tadka. Have left it as I feel like most curries the flavour improves with age!! I know tomorrow it will be even better! Making with Poratas instead of Naan bread this time. Absolutely gorgeous!
Been waiting for this one Al as your Chicken garlic chilli is one of my personal favourites. I cooked your Chicken Chilli Massala tonight and that was amazing. 👏👏👏
I'm in the Glasgow area - birthplace of Tikka Masala & Chasni. I've been making BIR curries at home for about 10 years and have tried several different versions of this one and none have came anywhere near what my local Indian restaurant does. This is outstanding - thanks for this we enjoyed it massively, the only one that beats my local Indian.
Just got my first ever pot of your base gravy on the go. Can't wait to start going through your recipes. Love the channel and your style. Keep up the great work!
Even though I am Indian, I am still amazed by Aron's knowledge. Now I know why my curry never tastes good in a restaurant. Also, never prepared base curry seems like a good idea.
I love Indian food. It my favourite. Have in the past followed books which don’t usually allow enough time for the ingredients to come together properly (onions translucent after 2 or 3 minutes then add 😱….onions now at least 10 mins!) and therefore have always been disappointing! In more recent times I have come to realise you really do need time to make a great curry and a good base! I have two books that are great, Les Portes des Indes and Dishoom. However, having discovered Als kitchen, my curries have come on in leaps and bounds!!! I just made this last night. (A couple of tweaks to my own liking) It was fantastic! I used Als mixed powder instead of the Bassar powder which annoyingly I forgot I had! I also used jar garlic and ginger pastes (laziza brand) with a little cori stalk thrown in. The recipe says 1 tsp of fennel seed but in the video he said 1 tblsp, took a chance and put the tblsp in😅, recipe called for ex hot chilli powder and 6 green chillies, i knew that would be too much for us, we like spicy curries however, we are probably 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ at most not the 5 in title!! I used a tsp of ‘normal’ chilli powder, and 1 tblsp of Kashmiri chilli plus 2 long green chillies. Used only 1 tblsp of sugar as advised to start but left it with the one. Just as we don’t like excessive spice we don’t like excessive sweetness either!! Otherwise I think I followed to a tee, including the brands used, did the tadka, which I cooked as video, but took out the 2 chillies before adding to curry. It was spiced nicely for us, you got tonnes of flavour in the mouth, followed by the spicy heat hit as an after taste. I may add an extra chilli next time to see😮 but the flavour was so nice it really didn’t matter about having it spicy hotter. I am building my own curry list based mainly on Als Kitchen recipes, favourites being Chasni, Lamb Madras and his samosas! (Fantastic being able to use filo!) I do love it when a recipe works and this definitely does!
I'm making 4 curries for Xmas Dinner. After watching this it will be 5. I can't wait to make a start on this, can imagine the smell will blow me away. Thanks for sharing 👍
As a decent self taught cook over 30 years, I started learning BIR during lockdown!. Al has been the major influence and this vid has taught me a few tips too, 10/10 chaps. Al, you really don't know how much I have watched some of your work to learn and tweak to my tastes. Happy Christmas.
I've only just gotten round to watching this video. I couldn't believe it when he said "Kidderminster", literally down the road from me! I'm going to have to get my order into Aron!
Hi Al. Really enjoyed this collaboration. You're spot on about the standard of food being produced in BIR nowadays. We only go to two nowadays - one where we live in South Wales and one when I'm back home in Chester visiting family. People like you and Aron are flying the flag for proper curried cooked with quality ingredients. Keep up the great work.
Great video guys, something different that's what it's all about for me trying new stuff and finding something that works for you. Brilliant thanks for sharing
Can't wait to make this when i have friends around . Al, can you do a quick vid on how you make your green garlic/ginger ?, never seem to get it right. Keep up the great content pal Another fantastic upload 👍👍
Garlic chilli chicken/lamb has always been my one of my favourites. Loving the channel and the guest chef's are a great idea. Keep up the good recipes.
Wow lads Thats the best looking curry I’ve seen made on YT for a while I’ve lost my knack for curry making I wish I could find it again to have a crack at this 👍👍👍👍👍
Family used to own a couple of indian restaurants and takeaways in the mid 80s to 2000. So impressed on your knowledge of BIR. Your food looks great. True, standards have dropped. But some decent ones in brum who cater to the asian market and authentic to Pakistani and Bengali cooking. Miss those BIR curries though!
Well done. Please get Arron back on next year Brilliant. We have to remember Indian restaurants are not all run by Indians. So it’s a variation of curry’s. I’ve been to many curry restaurants all over the uk and beyond. The best food has been at an Indian social club.
The last takeaway curry I bought was merely chicken poached in base gravy, so no more crappy takeaways for me!….. Very pleased to see east end ghee balbirs spices and Spanish paprika which are all in my cupboards too! Nothing better IMO, great video
Great to see a recipe for a curry for more than one person, thanks Al.I never know how to adjust quantities of ingredients if making a curry for 2 or 3 people, should I double/triple every ingredient?
Well chaps that was very informative and funny at the same time 👍😂 Al I've subscribed to ure channel and watched numerous videos, I made ure version of garlic chilli chicken and it was the best curry I've ever made, ure right it's about the ingredients and the base gravy, I'm going to try this one out Saturday, wish me luck 🙏🤞👍
Just made this and it smashing, i was suprised that it was not as hot as it looks just right for me.quick question if i half the ingredients will it still work ,and thanks for sharing curryking
Great vid lads! Made this today after trying curry king Pathia last week (which was bang on!) and this is a very nice curry, tastes just like a BIR! Personally I’d ease off the chilli for next time.
Oh man, this looks the kiddy.......20 years ago we used to have the telephone pizza co. in Eastbourne they'd do you a chicken dhansak pizza omg it was the best mate. Tears were shed when it shut.
Somehow I have missed a lot of your videos over the last year or so Al. RU-vid is a bit odd like that, but it’s showing me them again now. Just caught the one in the Birmingham restaurant and learned you’ve been doing a summer series too. There’s some catching up to do. Definitely going to try this one on the weekend.
Prepared and made this for the first time with guests, was lovely but think pan too small to cook down ingredients properly- can you suggest a basic pan that scales up to 4 people pls?
Enjoyed the banter also. It takes time for the 'Gift of the Gob' to develop as a presenter, no doubt. The fee flowing dialog found in your more recent vlogs is absent in the earliest submissions, clearly. But like the Hairy Bikers, you two could develop a presentation style of your own and in your own words, "Take it to another level". Main stream TV awaits!
As an ex fellow Black Country mon I’m gonna give this bad boy a try. Thanks for the great video gents. And yes Al you’re right, what has happened to Indian takeaways in recent years !?
My favourite dish is tandoori garlic chilli chicken I was at a restaurant once and it had a hint of fresh mint it was amazing very more ish, your dish looks tasty.
I had a go at this but went a little bit easier on the heat , it was truly delicious . I reheated some the next day and dare I say it was even tastier.
Hi I'm a huge fan of both your channel and curry king . I'm originally from not far from Kidderminster 💪 Well try this yesterday followed it to a t. OMG it's off the scale amazing this is going to be our family curry recipe stunning❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looks amazing, but a lot of money would need out laid on spices. Would like to see Arran do a basic budget chilli chicken. Not complaining love the look of this curry, but a benefit curry cook would help us common folk make a nice curry.
Hi Al, been cooking your recipes for a few weeks and love them so much. I need help with bass at mix recipe as you don’t ship to Australia. Help would be amazing if you could. Big up love channel 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hi Al. Been looking back on some of your early vids and noticed you have done a fair few non-curry related vids (I'll be giving your garlic mushrooms a go for sure). Why not do some other non-curry vids a go, chilli con carn, spag bol, stroganoff or bourguignon foe example.
