A huge thanks from me, 100 e-books distributed and £634 raised in just two weeks is beyond what we could have hoped

It took a lot of our time to produce the e-book, but it feels like it was definitely time well spent!

What a great xmas present the e-book would make ! Buy one for your buddy.
I'm sure Admin could accomodate that.

[Alchemist]

Remember folks, a curry is not just for Xmas, if you do a double portion then there is often some left for Boxing Day as well!

Looks the business... how did it taste? What would you change, if anything ?

[Alchemist]

Awesome photos, Chickenbhoona, they all look spot on - maybe you should change your username to Chickentikkabhoona!

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to photo your dishes and post - glad you are enjoying the ebook.

This ebook really is my introduction to BIR, having bought it the first day I found this forum.
Two days later I have made my first batch of base gravy, made some mix powder and cooked a kilo of lamb, and frozen it all down ready to start being bought out on Friday. This was definitely aided by the simple, easy to follow instructions and structure of the book. Anyone who can cook a bit, could follow the instructions and make great BIR, and myself as a former chef doesn't feel like I'm being taught how to boil an egg.
The fact this has been compiled as a charity book makes it all the better, in short highly recommended and great value intro into BIR

[Alchemist]

Great write up MS
Hope to hear how your curries turn out when you have a go later this week.

[Cory Ander]

Looks mighty fine, CB, thanks for taking the time and effort

[Cory Ander]

Thanks for your report, MS, look forward to hearing how you get on with the curries......

Hello,

I bought the e-book and it looks awesome so thank you for producing this.

I have a question about the potatoes in the base gravy if someone could tell me please and sorry if it is a real dumb question but I am a real noob!

What type of potatoes should I use in the base gravy? I am guessing it should be something like a roasting potatoe i.e. King Edwards etc and not the waxy varieties you can buy. Or does it not even matter as they are cooked for so long?

Thank you.

Remove them before they are fully cooked and make a small hole in them, is a top tip it turned my bhajis from just ok to very good.
