Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Fair point. Nothing wrong with a spot of curry and chips. I've probably done that with the carp I used to knock up. This Base Gravy alone would probably turn a dish of bog standard, cheap, frozen chips into a late night snack fit for a ravenous king, to be honest! As it is? With all the effort that goes into me trying to replicate Any form of 'proper' curry? I can't help thinking that chucking it on a bed of chips would just be a bit too much like drinking 18 year old single from a rusty bean tin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beef was beautifully cooked and gravy perfectly balanced, spice wise. I would prefer more chillies but the Mrs isn't in favour of arse magma in the morning I always prefer more curry, can mop more of it up with a bhaji and naan or two. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Neil; If there's been one constant throughout my life, mate? It's been my seeming utter fukking 'Sameness'! I just seem to have this 'weird' ability to decide something's nice to eat. Then eat That for months, even years. I just don't get bored of shit. That's, probably, why this whole 'exotic' curry thing's so taken me. I'm completely breaking the mould of a life time. So much as Thinking about eating stuff for the ..... what ever. I've really only eaten to keep body and soul together. If I found something I enjoyed? Brucey Bonus. I'd probably eat That for six months or more, till it became seasonably unavailable. Anyway, I have good storage facilities. I can keep this sort of dried shit so they'll find it here, after I'm gone. And, meanwhile? I Love chick peas! Nom! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then batch make a load of Falafel and stick them in the freezer. Dead easy to make and really nice in a curry sauce 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted February 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Confession Time! Anyone who's actually Followed this thread - as in taking in what I've been saying (Nothing wrong if you've just scanned it. Or jumped in with a comment! But) You would have picked up how I'm OCD about following Al's Kitchen like a lost lamb? I do that, because I want what it says on the can. Quite simple. Well, tonight I took a right angle turn from the straight and narrow. Al' tends to show us how to make 'A' curry. One portion. I need to make at least two, preferably three at a time. First one I attempted? I admit, I threw His ingredients into my Instapot. It was still fukking Magnificent! Tonight? I did that again. Only, I slung in four, diced spuds. To make more of it? Ton of base gravy too. It Was Fukking DISGUSTING!!! Tasted burned. Meat was like fukking boot leather! (Unheard of in Anything else I've ever cooked in there before!) God! I'm actually tossing up on whether I should eat the rest of that shit, tomorrow? Or just cut my losses and sling it! I shall now crawl off to flagellate myself with stinging nettles, while prostrated naked before an image of Al' I've let the fukking side down. I've paid the price. Let this be a warning! Plan B then is to make my curry, Exactly as Al' says, again. Only, I'll supplement if with Al's (Proven!) Onion Bhaji's and some chapati's 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Get on YouTube and type in Al’s kitchen. He shows you how to make the base gravy the spice mix and every type of curry to restaurant standard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
