Al, you're not just a cook, you're an artist! Keep up the good work! Cheers, Keith (Brit in Berlin)

[@brawdygordii]

Hi Al, just finished eating the Pathia and I have to say Wife and I loved it. I've been cooking curries for 40 years, have dozens of cook books, but like so many people say, your B.I.R. method works for us EVERY time. I even had a book "Secrets of the Indian Restaurant" but hated it. Like so many ex-Pats, you simply can't get a good curry in a restaurant here in Germany. They talk the talk but never walk the walk. When you explain that you are British, they nod knowingly and say "We have to cook for the german pallet" which is notoriously non-spicey! Restaurants always serve it too creamy, too yoghurty, and little heat. Anyway, now that I have my "All About The Base" apron, I don't just cook better but look the part as well :-) It was a Kafuffle getting it sent to Germany (from an address in England) and there was €8 Tax to pay on top...but all's well that ends well - more power to your stirring elbow. Which reminds me, Wifey says get a rubber ladle for your aluminium pots! ;-)

[@nt5919]

You're the man! Cooking this! Thanks so much!

[@tristanbuchanan7592]

Absolutely love this recipe, never heard of it before seeing it on your channel and its now my favourite. Tried with both chicken tikka and paneer, both excellent!

[@wenningsurfacingltd540]

Just made this tonight using the gravy that I made at the weekend, absolutely beautiful! Well done Al you are an inspiration 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@0ver0pinion8ed]

I eat 3 curries a week from restaurants all over. I can honestly say that this curry was as good as any curry I've ever ordered. Just used normal chicken as didn't have time or patience to marinade the tikka, can't wait to have it again with the tikka. AMAZING, thank you.

[@PaulPaul-chillers]

As you said, another banging curry Al, I just did it, it came out amazing ! Thanks

[@123howyt]

love this guy. keeping it real and uncomplicated. cant wait to try some of these. nice one al.👏👍

[@steveford11]

Made this today and it’s my new favourite curry, absolutely fantastic thanks Al

[@anderseklund231]

I just made a vegetarian curry based on this recipe and using chickpeas. I am blown away by the result! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiring so many to cook curries at home. Very much needed at the present!

[@handsomepiper5761]

I’ve made soooo many of Al’s curries but this is sooooo good. My favourite is either the Chicken Chasni or the Chicken Madras........but, I’ve now added this to my top 3. Keep up the good work Al...... looking fwd to your book. An added bonus is your love of LFC 😆✌️👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@steveshaw259]

Absolutely fabulous , just made it and wishing I’d made twice as much….. excellent curry and great, clear video

[@jt6945]

Just wanting to thank you Al for all your efforts, ive been saying im gonna start these for over a year... I finally got all the gear needed. Made the base gravy first and got it spot on, and ive had Pathia twice in the last week, and i can tell you the sauce is better than most takeaways ive had over the last 15+ yrs and as good as, if not better than the best pathia's ive ever had from restaurants. Im gonna try adding some balti paste next for "Balti Pathia" Then onto the jalfrezi and Samber Thx again pal.

[@jimbojet8728]

Thanks Al. That’s a tasty looking curry. You explain your recipes clearly and concisely, really simple enough to follow. I enjoyed the vid again.

[@osr4152]

Thank you for this channel! Tried your jalfrezi and it actually had the style and taste of a restaurant curry.

[@darrylhe]

Soooo, i made this tonight, used 2 tsp lemon juice instead of tamarind, omg best curry ever, mana of the gods indeed, cheers Al!!!

[@johnchambers5553]

Well Al ! Tried this last night. Absolutely amazing. I tough the Jefrezi was the ultimate but this was awesome. Washed down with a glass of Chablis. Better then any restaurant. Onward now to the Ceylon. John

[@BattlesDiplomacy]

Al, thanks for all the amazing videos you've inspired me to take up cooking these at home!

[@AlsKitchen]

Hope you enjoy

[@ddempsey10]

Just cooked this and boy was it delicious . First one I cooked from you videos, and can't wait to cook more. Thanks Al, look forward to watching the rest of your videos

[@bourbon77]

Looks great, will be cooking this tomorrow 👍🏼Thanks Al.

[@raftonpounder6696]

Beautiful looking as usual. I ordered one of those burners after seeing it on your last video. I can’t wait to use it tomorrow evening. I saw someone using one on Facebook and they placed an oven rack on top. This allowed them to slide the pan about more easily. An excellent idea I thought.

[@Hammertime054]

Yet another one i have to try out Al, banging stuff 👍👍👍

[@martysnelling9459]

Love a Pathia, never made one as good as this before, it was so good I've made a batch for the freezer, gonna try more of your recipes now, thanks Al keep up the good videos.

[@thomasgates3185]

Will definitely be making this. Nice one al.

[@jonathanpettit8846]

I’ve been making your curries for about a month now, tried this last night, best one yet, I’m vegetarian so used jackfruit instead of chicken and it worked really well, thanks for the inspiration Al, looking forward to trying many more of your ‘banging’ curries 👍

[@bjambles1633]

My third time making this curry. Absolutely fab! 5 Stars Big Al!

[@Spacemal]

Nice video... looks great!

[@nemesis0720]

you've already bought me in the beginning as you opened the beer for "internal usage for chef benefit" the recipe is fantastic! cheers from Hungary!

[@dingdong289]

Just made it Al, superb. Thanks so much 👍👍

[@sharvii]

Legend, great video with lots of tips. Thanks

[@Adam_England]

Made some base curry sauce 2 last night and just couldn't resist knocking up a portion of this sauce that I added King prawns to at the end instead. Beautiful Al. Thank you man. ✊

[@wez7577]

Bloody lovely, thanks for instructions

[@stuartduncan2772]

Thanks again A. Another fantastic success. Pathia is one of my favourites and I have to say that this was as good as any BIR I've ever had as a takeaway or in a restaurant. I used chicken tikka and king prawns. Brilliant!!!

[@haroldearnshaw3190]

Looks like another great curry, the wife loved your latest chicken Bhuna

[@jensklein4325]

First we cooked the base gravvy. Then we looked for an interesting recipe and cooked this curry. Really good and tasty. Thanks for your recipes!

[@Mothertrucker896]

Just had this one mate and its my new favourite. Chasni was my fav but this just pips it. Thank you al, your vids are the best, easy to follow with outstanding results. 👏👏👏

[@garycheshire7663]

Love it , my mouth is watering

[@willsmith4466]

Just made this as my first! Amazing, youre a legend

[@iaincropper9356]

Just made it Al. Once again absolutely top notch. Thanks

[@AlsKitchen]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dawnspage5091]

Love it, gotta try doing it myself

[@derekwilkinson7939]

Well Al, I’ve only recently found your channel and I’m loving it, haven’t made any curry’s as yet but I’m building up a nice play list, I think my first step will be making the base gravy, and buying a high sided frying pan.

[@rickgajewski5297]

This is my favourite curry that I love and have it maybe once a month, I have never seen the recipe before. So thanks Al.

[@andymclean5195]

One of my favourites.

[@aplinap]

Just finished making a batch of this for the freezer and its fantastic for sure. I added some halved tomatoes too.

[@CaughtShorts]

I look forward to hearing more from the "Sunburnt Chef". Love the videos Al, keep 'em coming!

[@Sean-os3fo]

Mate! You’ve started my whole cooking curries at home journey. Absolute legend. And I’m a massive Red. This is my favourite curry with Tiger beer. Up the Reds

[@richardhawke8092]

Hey Al, well I made this one at the request of the family tonight!! Prepared the chicken yesterday & marinated overnight to make it Tikka (minus the dye) cooked that separately in the oven - that turned out to be beautiful & I've already been asked to make that again by the kids!! I've got to scale it up a bit to feed the fam & made a bit of a boo boo on the mix powder as I got my tea & table mixed up.... I wondered where all the oil went when I added it :) It's quite forgiving though & didn't seem to cause any detriment to the dish, in fact when I make it again - I'll do the same again as the gravy had a wonderful texture - I'll just use more oil in the pan!!! What a beautiful flavoursome dish it turned out to be, my best yet - if I'd been told it had come from the local takeaway - I wouldn't have questioned it! Thanks once again, when's the book out? I need it!!

[@coolcd3285]

Made this tonight and tasted amazing. Almost a smoky flavour of it which only added to the immense taste. Had half earlier and added some yogurt to the other half for tomorrow. Cheers.

[@nathanmitchell408]

Hands up 🙌🏻 I know I’ve had some banter with you over the years but hats off looks great (like your new approach

[@AlsKitchen]

What banter mate. Honestly can't remember

[@keyote3]

All done tonight, excellent taste, and full marks from the little lady, thanks, superb meal...!!!

[@TheSwiftHDSG]

Fantastic!!!

[@garethrowlands6474]

Amazing dish. Easy to cook

[@swatisdailynuggets1488]

Loved watching it

[@keithlindsey1589]

Doing this tonight cant wait yum yum

[@heathery6220]

I'm missing the Kasuri Methi and I had only garlic paste so grated some ginger in. I've also got an electric hob. This is still VERY close to my favourite takeaway at home. It's amazing! I live abroad (Switzerland) and can't find a curry house i love. This has solved that problem. Can't wait for my other spices to arrive at Christmas now!

[@steveclouston7515]

Glad to have you back master chef! Thanks to you, my family think I can actually cook LOL.

[@AlsKitchen]

That's great. Back? Back From where

[@dannysullivan4982]

I'm going to have to try this! 30 years ago, Dilshad in Sutton Coldfield was the place for Pathia, but not been there for many many years. The best drink to go with curry, will always be Mateus Rose!!!

[@adamlamb5634]

Keep it coming Al

[@nhikoid]

Really like the way you explain the all important methods and heat. Very concise and very entertaining. Maybe one day we can look forward to seeing "Al's curry kitchen" tv series ! :-)). Step aside motorcylists with long hair and chefs that swear a lot.

[@stevecaddick1767]

lovely rich gravy

[@mikeymoose2033]

Will be cooking this for the first time tonight to christen my new Balti Bowls. Cannot wait!! 🌶

[@lafluerpeter9]

Only tried pathia a few weeks back as I was mainly a dupiaza man but wow what a curry. Ordered one last night funny enough and will be having the leftovers tonight after putting the Christmas decs up.
