Re: 2021 New Year's Best BIR-Style Curry Photo Competition!
Is the stem from a dried bhut jolokia chilli? Is the recipe posted on the forum? Here , perhaps? Yes, there was a whole Bhut Jolokia in there plus the Tblsp of Bhut Jolokia powder. The whole chilli melted into the sauce a little as it cooked - I had ‘reconstituted’ it in the base overnight before m...

Re: A quick Dhal
Yes, my simple Dhal, any of the bits in there will be the Panch Phoran or finely chopped coriander from the freezer - which makes it darken. Very difficult to source fresh coriander here so when I can I buy a kilogram or so and freeze it.

Re: Pilau rice
Yes, the orange (supposed to be yellow) grains were stained separately and then added back, I don’t like to see that bleeding of colour so I do it this way - marginally more work but looks better.
Essentially, it’s the simple pilau from the beginners section just a different colouring technique.

Re: A quick Dhal
No Pauly, they’re red split lentils or ‘masoor Dhal’ ... no pre-soak and you can add salt from the ‘off’, so more tasty in my opinion.

Re: Pilau rice
I have a couple of old 20kg bags - they’re maybe 3-4 years old. The one I’m using at the moment is fine.
In what way did you think the new stuff isn’t too clever ? ... it’s about the only rice I use so I hope they haven’t changed anything

Lamb with Cardamon reduction
This was the result of some experimenting .... basically it was garlic and ginger, base, mix powder, Cardamon (lots) and some lemon ... cooked the lamb shanks in that and then blended and sieved the result .. reduced it right down and it was delish. Served with a saffron pilau that I (and my wife) l...

Re: Christmas dinner
You’re a braver man than I for even broaching the subject of BIR for Christmas Lunch !
Great looking ensemble though, so well done !. Would you do it again next year ? ... or something more bizarre ?
