hi julian if its the manzil i used to frequent in thornton then they do a really good curry and are a great bunch of guys,..polite,respectfull and courteous...i do miss the curry scene in bradford now i live on the isle of wight.
Hi Julian. Just want to say a big thankyou for sharing your knowledge. i`ve been following your vids for a while now and bought your E-book.It`s been a big help. I first got into cooking Bir when i was about 18 and i`m 45 now - so about 27 years!!! I used to go into the Kitchen at my local curry house and i learnt a lot from them, but they were always secretive about their Garabi recipe and other stuff. Have cooked your Vindaloo recipe many times now and it`s the best ive tried.Keep em comin.
Just a tip on coconut flour/powder. If you can't find it or already have dessicated coconut, use a food processor/blender to grind it down. Don't expect a consistency like wheat flour but more of a fine dessicated coconut. 👍🏽
Agreed about people not being bother to go to the effort of all the prep, plus now that people know how it's done the more respect they will have for the take away and more willing to pay the prices. Keep the tips coming for us 1%.
I'll be honest. I love cooking, I cook all the time. I love my food. I've done base gravy and tried all sorts from this ebook and other variants. If I cant be bothered to cook.. I go get a takeaway. No more or less regularly than before. The fact is, the convenience is always there.
Julian, keep trying those 'other' recipes from those TV Chefs but still tastes nothing like the Indian restaurant, bought your E-Book today and looking forward to finally making curry the right way.
Thanks for these tips again all good tips, I have in the past used fine onions chopped for the sauce it does add a nice texture to the dish. Hope you didn't lose too many sales on your latest ebook due to the mail error Julian,! I got that mail but went to your web site to download it Thanks again for your vids . Ray
Thanks Paul for that. I am uploading a series of videos FREE of me working along with a Bengali Chef, he will be divulging some of his 'House specialties' and they are excellent dishes and not hard to make- so keep your eye out for those!
Hi , You can buy Dried Methi leaf at any large Tesco store for about £ 1...It comes in a small box that will last for ages., it is a definate must, Good luck! Billy.
Hi, this is how you do it; you make sure you Keema is a dry mixture and cold, then take the naan dough and roll into a ball, then use your thumb to insert a cavity in the ball and put just enough keema in to fill the hole, seal the hole and roll into ball again, then flat it into a disc shape then make sure you oil your rolling pin so the dough doesn't stick. Now roll out just like a normal Naan.
Only have Desiccated Coconut? No Problem! Blend the desiccated coconut until it's a fine powder THEN soak it in some water.. Put it through a fine mesh strainer and let it dry. The left over coconut is coconut flour and the liquid is coconut milk.
Hi, fenugreek powder is much stronger (flavour) than the leaves so I would use for this reason. You should be able to source methi leaves from an Asian shop, if you have one you. If you don't have one near you try; spicesofindian.co.uk
Maybe it's different in the states but I don't think coconut flour is used here. My mom is allergic to coconut and has eaten Chicken Tikka Masala from dozens of different restaurants. Anyone know the difference?
Julian, do you have any tios on how to do Keema Naan? I can make keema and.naan dough, but when I toll it out the mince comes out. Do they just use their hands to make this?
@Julian Viogt. Next week a mate is giving me two of his stainless steel saute pans. They do stick, as with the Aluminium ones. Do you think they will work well for the roasting effect & unique taste? Cheers in advance.
Can anybody help? Pretty much every curry in the ebook has dried methi leaves but I have no idea where to buy them? Can fenugreek powder be used as a substitute?
You cant replicate the restuarant/social experience at home and most profit is made from people leaving pubs after a few lagers. I dont think it will affect profits and in fact may increase them and it promotes the food. I still use my local indian.
my old man runs an indian restaurant... part of me want you to stop giving the game away.... STOP IT! If they find out how easy it is they'll stop paying for it!
