Let me know what you all think about this curry. Also how you feel I can improve the channel. Thanks Al

[@bencollins247]

Inspired me to go out today and get all my spices and aluminium pan to try my favourite curry Ceylon. Loving your channel Al, up the Reds, YNWA

[@paulandrews1560]

Just keep doing what you’re doing mate

[@jbeef1289]

Hi Al, I follow your recipes but I’m sure I’m getting burnt spices. Would be great to hear more details on how hot to have the pan when adding the dry spices. Great channel btw.

[@HeavyMetalRuinedMyLife1971a]

Hi from Northern Ireland Al ! Great channel !!!😎

[@sharronsinclair972]

I am not sure you can do anything to improve - what you do is perfect 👌 Easy to follow, and I find your voice very calming. Look forward to the book and will be trying this one. Thank you 😊

[@bbasmdc]

Al - you ask "how do I improve the channel?". My reply - keep it EXACTLY the same. You deliver perfect info, perfect tuition and a genuine charm that makes us feel like we're your mates. That's magic. First Law of rural Mechanics - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

[@nickhancill7288]

Stumbled across your channel and really love the setup. So enjoyable to watch, and definitely going to use some of your recipes. Cheers!

[@itsTronBonne]

Been doing curry Sundays every week since September. Between you and Latif, I don't think that tradition is going to end anytime soon. New curry every week, and they've all been amazing. Cheers, Al!

[@AlsKitchen]

Thanks. Appeciated

[@broughcooper1580]

Al, discovered you on Elis and John and made my first base gravy yesterday. Made this Dopiaza this evening and it was brilliant. Takeaway standard and I’m thrilled. So much base gravy to take on your other recipes. Thank you so much

[@raustzeal4212]

Some really good tips today. I have been doing this for a while, but the tips about doubling up and gravy consistency have given me some new things to try. Thanks

[@mikeymoose2033]

Beautiful stuff! You’ve certainly taught me a skill and learning to make perfect BIR curries is how I’ll remember lockdown 1,2 and 3! Great work Al 🌶👌🏼X

[@Chips690]

We love you Al! Happy New year and welcome back to the tube!

[@bluestaffy5101]

my favourite channel Al ! brilliant mate 👍looking forward to some curries without base gravy that would really help when life is so busy

[@thejellokats8338]

Yes, yes, YES! This is a sensational curry. Definitely gonna be doing plenty more of these. Thanks, as always, for the great video!

[@michaelaustin6877]

Another great video Al Thank you 👌I will definitely be buying your book.

[@grahammellstrom4995]

That looks amazing Al, this is on my to do list once I've made another batch of gravy. Thanks again for the video s👍👍👍

[@Merc-Rover]

Great video. Very informative. You are a true master of the BIR!!!

[@32groovy]

Amazing Al! That’s tomorrow night sorted! I cooked your Chasni last week & it was bangin!!!! Happy new year Al & thanks for your recipes & tips.

[@jamiegillespie8175]

The taste test is literally the funniest part of the video. Reminds me of myself when I cook. I remember when I first made my girlfriend something years and years ago she was in the kitchen with me when I done a taste test, I tasted it and collapsed on the kitchen floor and she panicked and asked if I was ok, I said I'm fine it just tasted that good it made me weak at the knees🤣🤣🤣🤣. Much like you do now mate hilarious 🤣 😆 😂 😄 👍

[@keithwhite2815]

Loving the channel I've tried so many of your curries that my wife enjoys them more than our local takeaway. Will be trying this one.

[@andrewsmart8520]

“Oh my god - Wonder Woman” . Not sure where that came from, but I know what you mean Al. Cooking some of your recipes and then tasting them has brought tears of happiness to my eyes. Top bloke, top channel, top curries. Please keep them coming. I’m cooking this one today👏👏👏

[@ianthomas1060]

This is dopiaza! Your mother would be proud Al! Brilliant. one of your best in my opinion.

[@frederickmagill9454]

Great Al, look forward to buying your book, keep your fans posted on book progress. What about this latest curry, can only say everyone of your curries are great, thanks Al.

[@struanrobertson3417]

Al you're a star.. Whole family are loving your curries. 50k well deserved 👍😊

[@jamesdennett196]

Looks absolutely delicious. Definitely giving this a try

[@waynebuswell8570]

Will be honest, not a curry I have often but watching that I’m going to give it a go tomorrow! It looked beautiful big Al 👍

[@RGFox-mr5lm]

Just made this an although I've not got all the select equipment to cook with it turned out a revelation, cheers Al for the taste sensation 👍

[@johncollins5987]

Thanks Al very informative again. Waiting for the book. Hopefully book is the same, a great learning tool🙏

[@sharvii]

Al, love the vids mate, legendary cooking, I miss currys so much, we don’t really get decent ones here in Holland

[@CARPY77]

Great video again nice clear and easy demonstration , can’t wait till Your book is out👍🏼🍺

[@WolfGirl930]

Al.... You had me at the draft beer dispenser..... I made your newest tikka Pathia this week (I know I should comment under that post) absolutely fabulous wife loved it. Also did a side of Chana Saag which was (as ever) "a banger". Great to see you pop up early 2021. I will be trying this one shortly with some of the "base" in the freezer. Happy new year Al.

[@GScrubb181]

Back with another banger. The original one you posted is one of our favourites so I can't wait to try this. We need to knock up some mixed powder though. Loving the curries mate. Keep em coming.

[@willlowbridge350]

I learnt from Al and his channel how to cook BIR curry’s and it really works. Keep watching his videos even when you think you know it. As Al answers questions you have. Please do as he says and you will not regret it. It is a great little hobby. Gives pleasure to family and friends as well as builds confidence in owning a skill you will never loose. Best of luck.

[@punkoid76]

I couldn’t agree more, I already knew how to make a good curry but Al improved my skills immensely.

[@yvonnelister5670]

When do i put the methi in ?

[@willlowbridge350]

@@yvonnelister5670 , hello Yvonne. I recommend putting your dried fenugreek / Methi leaves in before you add any base gravy to your pan. Give the dry leaves a rub in your hands to further reduce any big bits. Adding this to the spices and oil before the base gravy will help release their unique oils and flavor from the Methi, into the other hot oil herbs, spices and onions. And so building your flavors. Good luck.

[@yvonnelister5670]

@@willlowbridge350 thank you I will Rub the methi in my hands didn't know that Thanks yvonne

[@richardwhite3522]

Love the vid just bought a pan from link Al cooking this for best mate c eve now going over to anything with prawns

[@paulhannon6653]

Hi Al, I made this dish this evening and it was exceptional. My new favourite along with your Chasni. Can’t wait for the book, I hope it will be available on Kindle as well... Superb videos and recipes, well explained and demonstrated.

[@AcousticNRG]

this channel is so underrated deserves way more subs

[@sweetshoez]

I agree, it doesn’t get much better than a nice beer and curry

[@chanithompson2724]

Your recipes are AMAZING! Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

[@steveroberts7931]

Brilliant again Al top stuff and that beer also looks good

[@markblackhurst8053]

Great again mate,like the idea of seeing if your local curry house will let you in for a filming sesh, there was a channel on KZbin that did that a few years ago, can't remember who it was,but it was really good,anyway video and footage good as all ways,cheers Al and fingers crossed for tommorw

[@briangarner81]

Finally a long over due book. I'm glad you've changed your mind.

[@bailegirl7527]

Ooooh a book????? Tell me more !

[@chrisefc3579]

Good God Al, this looks like the most delicious one yet. I have never been served a curry in a restaurant that looks as good as this one does. This one gets made next. Take care.

[@newtonscradle6589]

Al i love your channel so much, i live in France & cant get a good curry here, your channel has been a life savour, have a great 2021 mate :)

[@AlsKitchen]

Thanks so much 😊

[@grant1133]

Love your recipes , with the price of a curry and the usual accompaniments for one person over £20 where I am these days , your recipes have saved me a fortune.

[@ianblackshire2704]

Cooked this last night for my wife and son. Added a bit more chilli and it was really good, we rate this in our top 6 Al's curries, Chicken Bhuna has top spot at the moment. I mixed a batch of Al's mixed spice today, so looking forward to trying that. Al, thanks for changing our Saturday nights!

[@randallpetroelje3913]

I so want to eat that. I’m drooling I think. If I could swim across the pond I’d be there with some beer and some victuals to eat. Nothing but love man. Thanks again for your show.

[@teenageapocalypseusa5368]

I made this today following your chicken tikka recipe and it was the best curry I ever made. I tweaked it to use ghee instead of oil and added a blended garam masala in with the cumin seeds. So delicious. Thank you so much!

[@simoncopson9291]

Will be trying this! Made the original dopiaza recently and loved it. Have done the korma and pathia also so far. Family loved them. Can’t wait for the book. I reckon you need to go on Saturday kitchen....

[@johnchambers5553]

Tried this last night Al. Another curry another banger! It was awesome. On my list of your favourites.

[@handsomepiper5761]

Al your channel is magic. I sort of feel like a top Indian chef now 😂. I love your perfect draft, mine arrived today and the Stella has gone already.....don’t worry between 3 of us 😃.

[@stevecoyle865]

Well i have been cooking curry's for many many years and have to take my hat off to you Al fantastic keep up the great work :)

[@georginashallcross8973]

MAde this last night and it was so good. Thank's for your delicious recipes. You make it so easy and delicious.

[@P900Coolpics]

Love your vids, is the pan you use here the same as in the description as that looks smaller.

[@anthonyparrott4826]

Al love your curry's always try any new ones you cook can you please do some lamb curry's dishes please ps I'm going to have the dopiaza tomorrow thanks

[@buckbumble]

I swear I saw you in Bromley the other day Al. Wasn’t sure if it was you but just to say love all of your content and really love adding these recipes to my repertoire 😁

[@sunnykrishan]

Al love the food, cooking curry is so fun in my opinion! Any chance you can do a base gravy tutorial but on a smaller level? Don't have big enough pans haha

[@kevingavin6825]

Hi Al I'm in Dublin and I've been wanting to cook Indian for quite a while now, I stumbled on your channel a little while back and I think you do a great job, all, and I mean all of the Indian takeaways I've ever gone to in Dublin only serve you muck, so I decided to have a go myself, I've followed your vid on the base gravy yesterday, 1/1/22, the missus has a load of those aluminium trays and I filled 9 of them with 5 ladles in each to freeze, had a half tray of gravy left over so today I'm having a go at your dopiaza but with prawns, I'll keep you posted 😊

[@tribeoflight-ireland868]

I am English living in Ireland for 8 years. The one thing I miss is the BIR curries from my home town, but I learned to cook them before I moved here. They are a world apart from what is served here in Ireland, my local didn't even use a base gravy, in fact it used hardly anything. I have been watching Al for a few years along with Latif and Julian Voight, these were my go to for curries. I mainly cook home cooked varieties now, the taste is the same, just the texture is different.

[@jasonmenzies4308]

Not had one of them for years and your one looks spot on 👌🤤🤤

[@jmurray911]

Just made this curry following the recipe carefully. Absolutely delicious.

[@paulandrews1560]

I’m going to have to give this a try tomorrow

[@patrickcassidy3869]

Looks delicious Al And beer on tap wicked!!!💪

[@normannutbar424]

Hey Al. I’d love to see some more vegetarian curries. Maybe tandoori Paneer, or a pre-cooked veggie mix, like they use in BIR. Can’t wait for the book. Thank you. 🙏

[@anthonys6554]

Yes! I can't wait for the book. First day buyer!

[@tomcarter9584]

Congratulations on 50k subs. Been treating my family to your curries during lockdown!

[@AlsKitchen]

Yay! Thank you!

[@meentaalmaan]

What brand is the extractor? Thanks love your vids, got my Dad into it as well.

[@dianarecipesbelton2908]

Al I've just made your Dupiaza and absolutely loved it, I've already made the tikka masala twice beautiful my family loved it, thank you Al for inspiring me.xx

[@epicman2695]

Good evening Al super videos, and recepies mate. Just a quick one going to try and do this Saturday night but for 5 people Can I do separate dishes and just put in the microwave or just reheat on the hob to warm it back up as one whole lot ? Thanks for all your help and tips they really are amazing 👏

[@kevinlockwood9]

Al my new hero Tried loads of times to do indian curry's all are OK but never indian quality. Fell on your KZbin by mistake. Made a base gravy then tonight followed your chicken dupiaza recipe made it for my wife when she came home from work. Absolutely stunning embarrassed to say better than our restaurant quility around Merseyside here.. Well done mate 👍 👍 fantastic Y. N. W. A. 👌👌🍻🍻

[@terryrees8574]

Quorn Rogan Josh and Saag Paneer last weekend, Quorn Passanda last night. All excellent Al (missus is vegetarian). Can't wait to cook a vege curry for her and a chicken or lamb one for myself. As others have said don't change a thing. Part of the enjoyment of watching is your easy going manner. Saturday Morning Kitchen with Al would be a great watch!!. Surely someone knows someone who could sow the seeds for this to happen?

[@andymos9]

Very good! The Keith Floyd of the curry kitchen! Just one point: no 2nd dose of onion and no turmeric?

[@anonamouse9198]

I always dose my attempts at a curry with loads of smoked paprika, sometimes liquid smoke too. 👌🏻

Excellent video again Al, your videos have become part of our daily evening TV! When does the kasoori methi go in? I've watched the video many times and don't see you using it

[@markravey3240]

Finally your doing a curry book! I’ll be the first to buy it

[@gethynmorgan6890]

Another great video, cheers Al. Do you find the high wall pan helps to reduce the curry splashing over the cooker? Where did you get yours from? Looking forwards to the book mate!

[@AlsKitchen]

It does absolutely. They are hard to find. I have provided links in the description box. Love the pan

[@jonathang.5092]

Hi Al, you're the go-to curry Yoda!

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Cheers Al, just cooking your recipe now. Stay safe 😷

[@ssemson]

Yes Al. This was a banger indeed. And with a V12 engine! It was the tikka that made it. I found myself saying all the things that you did while you were tasting it. Cooked two portions in separate pans the restaurant way.

[@AlsKitchen]

Right on! Thanks Man, Cheers Thx

[@steveningham9555]

Another great looking dish to wow my friends and family. Cant wait for the book too Al. I really need one of those deep aluminium pans I think ready for the book launch. Cheers Al 🍻

[@billfishburn2091]

Hi Al love your curry recipe have you got the books you mentioned if so how do I get one please thanks Billy

[@paddystewart5092]

Hi Al, I've just cooked this doooopiaza, used your base gravy 2 but added a whole chilli 🌶 seeds toboot. It's fantastic, great recipe. Also separated into two pans before I added the chicken, as my daughter is vegetarian. 9/10 , would be 10/10 but I think I might have softened the onions to much at the start. Cheers Paddy God's kingdom Newcastle Upon Tyne

[@Yugtabub]

Yes!!!!! This will be made tomorrow
