Sadly im not a fan of this technique. Il call it a technique not a recipe. My favorite indian resturant tango had a amritsari cheff and you could tell he cooked every dish undividually. Then the next time i went the cheff changed and i was instantly annoyed! You could tell right away every dish was the exact same base with a few pathetic additions.(cheap additiins). The guy even started making naans with beaten egg white and baking powder it was soooo eggy it was mostly egg white and little flour. I bet the guy used powdered egg replacer too. The first thing that went through my mind was "ooo you lazy so and so!!) Il never go back because you cant exactly check in at the resturant every now and then to ask if the cheffs left. My sister 100km away said her favorite indian has a new cheff. I said send me the menu. Exact same menu "amritsari bhunna chicken". And guess what wasnt on the menu the second time i was at tango? Amritasri bhunna chicken. So i think the cheffs being payed more to move to my sisters resturant. I have only ever cooked indian or chinese for 30yrs now. Its all i know how to do. My speed is far faster now. More chinese speed but with indian. I develope the flavours first the old fashion way then transferr everything into oven at 90c. That way it cant possibly dry out. And bake 2hrs. Easier than tending pots and checking. And it dosnt damage the meat stirring. Amritari bhunna chickens my fav next to vindaloo(Portuguese vindaloo not indian). Bhunna chicken is basicly vindaloo with garam masala and yogurt added

I really like the idea of putting the ground spices in water to prevent burning. That advice would have saved me when I was just starting to learn Indian cuisine. Thank you, dear Bumbi!

Super tip👍👍
@Danielle_12349 ай бұрын
In Italian cooking water is added to the hot oil and then spices and other ingredients after. Everything is mixed in the pan. It has the same effect, the water limits the maximum temperature in the pan to 212 F / 100 C and eventually cooks off, so you don't have to measure how much water is added. This way you use less dishes than premixing everything in a cup.
@CurriesWithBumbi9 ай бұрын
@Danielle_1234 even I do that when I am cooking and not filming. I show like this making it simpler for beginners. There is always a purpose when I am showing something on screen and I am for the beginners. I think in Italian cooking the number of spices will be lesser so the chances are less for the spices to burn.
@andyc87078 ай бұрын
Garam masala burns which is why it goes in after stuff is cooked down, anytime you use garam masala - add a little water to prevent burning the spices.

If you ever want to see people losing their collective MINDS and having an existential breakdown of titanic proportion, read the comments to any KZbin video. It is simultaneously hilarious and infuriating. I don’t like the music. Then mute the video or don’t watch. I can’t eat that. Then don’t make it. I don’t like curry. Well I’m pretty sure curry doesn’t like you either. Can I make this without the spices? Sure but then I’m pretty sure you just land up with tomato sauce, but hey, if you want to live a life with no happiness in it, then by all means omit the spices.

Hello! Thank you for this new video. Let me tell you something: I am quite the beginner at cooking. The other day, I was trying to make pancakes (don't make fun of me!) and flipping them over was near impossible. Then I heard Bumbi's voice in my head telling me gently that it's ok to use two spatulas to flip them. (I think you really said this in your rotis video). Anyway, THANK YOU for making cooking less intimidating 🤩🤩🤩
