My first real attempt at BIR cooking
Been looking in to this for years and spent the last year reading and watching videos.
Technically my second attempt as I made my first base way to thin and it kept evaporating.
Any comments welcome (go easy on me)

Looking good.
If you have fun and it tastes good you can't go wrong. Just enjoy cooking, experimenting and of course eating.

A curry can never be ‘too garlicky’ or ‘too hot’ .....

Re: My first real attempt at BIR cooking
Thank you.
I cook a lot so kind of transferring my skills.
Taste: I'd put it as an acceptable curry. I'd class it as above average if I got served it. Which is acceptable for this stage. More experience trial and error is required.
My aim is not really replicate my local BIR more develop a tasty curry that's a little different. Maybe even unique in a way.
Recipe: to be honest I didn't follow any as such. Just stuff I've picked up reading and watching videos. Other than the chaat which I loosely followed CBM as it was to hand.
My base is basically just over a kilo of onions, a carrot, a pepper, small bunch coriander, tablespoon mixed powder, oil, tin of tomatoes and water. I did add a teaspoon of panch phoran fried in the initial oil. Next time I'm going to double the onions as the base seemed to tasty/complicated/rich. I think more of an onion taste will bring out the spices in the making of the dish. The base was good enough to eat on its own!
I made it in the instant pot 45 minutes , added tomatoes and spice, pressure cooked again for 20 minutes, then simmered for 20 minutes.
Thank you to this forum for many hours reading!!!
