I wish I could describe to you how happy India and Indian food makes me. It's so vast. So many variations. So many cultures and ways to make meals out of the most beautiful colorful ingredients and inventions of food. It's so wonderful and insanely creative and healthy. Thank you for sharing with the world.
After being a fan of yours on Bake Off way back when, it's wonderful to discover your RU-vid channel. I've always loved Indian food, and your way of cooking totally fits with my attitude (enthusiastic, but not overly precious or pretentious). Made this tonight for tomorrow's lunchbox or dinner - can't actually decide - and will have your books on my list when people start asking about Christmas presents.
I was always led to believe in BIR cooking that it was onions cooked in two separate ways. One pan fried fried or seared at high temperature leaving it in tact as it were and the second as part of a sauce or base gravy. Either way one of my all time favourite curries
Chetna in Canada we call those small onions either cippolini or pearl onions. Our shallots are oblong tear drop shaped, usually with a double bulb, not round, so can you clarify. Looks yummy
