There is one of the BIR cooking classes we run which are a great success,And of the CA team. For your amusement 
Hi buddy. Firstly ty for the kind comments. So much to explain really. Like many I had been on the bir journey for many many years. Working in bir kitchens, talking and watching various chefs etc. The owner of one of our local bir houses was in a pickle one night as he was a chef down. I offered to help the head chef and he was so impressed he offered me a job as second chef! I worked there alongside Abdul for 6 months, learning new and unheard of techniques. On Abdul day off I would be head chef. It was after this that Abdul and I decided to open our own place, which is now curried away and is very successful but very hard work all the same. Regarding Indian cooking and predominantly bir I consider Abdul to be a master chef with over 35 years at the helm. I learn from him every day. When we did the menu fir CA we just played with the dishes! We wanted to be the best! So for example a pathia? Abdul would do his, I would do mine, then we would experiment and decide which was our favourite! !! Sorry if it's a bit long winded! Abdul now works in London with his brother and leaves me to run CA as he feels he has taught me all he can. I run the kitchen and am head chefgoncalo wrote:Interesting place Adey. I admire your drive to make a business out of your passion. One question that I wondered for a while was whether you compare your curries to those of Abdul's and how do you find that they differ and also whether you still spend time appreciating/observing Abdul's cooking, to try and learn something new, or if you feel there's little else to learn these days?
plus he's always at the end of the phone if I get stuck!

Hi uclown. This is a somewhat controversial topic, and i know people will disagree with me but this is MY opinion and one i will not budge on! :uclown2002 wrote:Is it possible to replicate exactly your curries at home on a lower heat output? Question is rather topical here
These produce PERFECT results and can be purchased on ebay for around £30 each, plus the LPG of course. Hope this helps buddy, and like I say, thats only My opinion Thank you for your kind words buddy. Yep the rents are a killer, i hear you!! Luckily we have been fortunate enough to find the right place at a fraction of the current market rate cost which will help tremendously. Plus the added bonus of low business rates or I wouldn't of even considered it! The running costs however, will be staggering as you know.British Indian wrote:Good luck with the move up to a 60 seater place Adey. It's something myself and Raj have discussed several times, but rents are stupidly high here in WA. It would be financial suicide for us to take something like that on with us both having to get a living out of it. I wish you all the luck in the world.
