Garlic Chilli Chicken - INDIAN RESTAURANT TASTE - Al's Kitchen. BIR

Restaurant cooking has long been very secretive. Even Asians that have long cooked authentic curries at home do not know the processes that take place in British Indian Restaurants. We call this (BIR) Curry. Follow me as I will show how to cook your favourites from the menu. This Garlic Chilli Chicken will provide a nice spice kick while also giving you plenty of aromatics to dance on the tongue. Hope you enjoy. Al

"Ol'd on, the curries gonna wait" I just loved that! Worth watching just for that! I love your curries Al, my life has been taken over since I discovered you and your curry creations! Thanks for all you do.

[@matthewkellett9899]

After cooking authentic curries for over 20 years now, this recipe chilli garlic chichen bought back all the memories of when I used to go to BIR curry houses. Brilliant thank you Al. I almost cried at how good it was!!!

[@laurencemarrison5181]

With curries like this Al you’ll never walk alone. Great stuff mate, I look forward to making it very soon. Great to see you back in the groove. Keep up the great work.

[@chloewebb7274]

Made this along with your base curry gravy. Probably one of the best curries I’ve ever made at home. Literally tasted like our local takeaway! Thankyou for the tips! Loving your videos! :)

[@mattdomm4251]

Second recipe (after the chasni a few weeks back) that I've tried and it's absolutely banging. I did more garlic and used cayenne instead of chilli powder, and three teaspoons of chilli paste instead of fresh chillies - but other than that everything the same and it was bang on. Lovely soft garlic and enough of a kick to sting the lips but still able to taste the sauce. Beautiful.

[@mrrm1st]

Al YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! For about 20 years I have been trying to unlock that BIR taste at home. I’ve made base gravies, mix powders etc and made some nice curries but never one I could have mistaken for a good takeaway. I just made your base gravy 2 and mix powder and knocked up a garlic chilli chicken and it was outstanding!! If I had ordered that from a takeaway, I would make it my new regular. The whole dish had that pungent goodness that I don’t know where it comes from in a good BIR but you miss if it’s not there. Thank you so much 😀

[@bazwaldo1971]

Made this last night, it’s my new favourite curry dish, great heat (I did add extra hot chilli powder) and I added green chilliest to the base gravy. Al your costing me a fortune - just ordered Indian serving bowls to match my new dabba, but it’s well worth it. You given me a new skill, thanks Al.

[@steveford11]

Made this today Al, absolutely gorgeous mate, keep em coming! Congrats on the league win, your lucky I’m saying that as i’m a Man U fan.

[@mcmanustony]

I made your chicken chasni last night- as a displaced Scot in Canada. Even my hyper critical 14 year old was impressed! Thanks for all the great guidance!

[@susanwisner8973]

Made this for the first time yesterday. Although the base gravy takes awhile to do it’s definitely worth it! And now I have plenty in the freezer for more of Al’s great curries. Can’t wait to try more

[@davehughes269]

Wow made this last night and it was absolutely incredible!thank you so much

[@andrewjoss8772]

One of the best curries I've ever made. Thank you so much for sharing. Fantastic flavours!

[@Norgzki]

Looks amazing! Will be trying this one for sure!

[@raftonpounder6696]

Beautiful again! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks!

[@AlsKitchen]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@robertpretorius6422]

After many years in the home making curry wilderness, I came across Al’s Kitchen. What a revelation!. I made this dish tonight for my curry loving family. They are harsh critics by the way. For the first time ever, I got a round of applause. Thanks Al, I now have a much deeper appreciation of how a great curry comes together,. It can’t be rushed or bought, it takes time and much enthusiasm. Keep them coming. If you ever hold a master class, can I get a front row seat?

[@mewy71]

Hi Al, this will be one on my must make list, looks bloody lovely, well done keep up the good work.

[@MrC.914]

Just had this one! Simply amazing!

[@grahammellstrom4995]

Absolutely beautiful. My daughter and I did this the other day and really enjoyed it. One of my new favourites Al. Many thanks. G

[@Arcton-nv9cr]

Very nice, upped the garlic and green chilli to my own taste, really good thanks Al

[@jamesroberts3474]

Made this last night and again amazing results. Loved it. These recipes really are the Holy Grail of curries. Treeeeeeemendos!!!

[@Adderbolt]

Love your videos. You are what got me into cooking BIR The best Al👍

[@hucky29]

I made this tonight, it was superb!! If you haven’t tried garlic chilli chicken give this one a go!

[@petertr2000]

Ah, another V2. Lets see how it goes - its got a LOT to live up to, as your original was one of my favourites. Also going for a first try with your Mix Powder too. Looking forward to this!

[@ricado372]

Cooked this one tonight. Really nice. Already looking forward to having it again tomorrow.

[@andydavies8680]

OMG, made this last night and awesome, best curry I’ve made to date by far. Whole family loved it. Thanks! Glad to see you a reds fan too Al

[@PaulPaul-chillers]

Yet another banging curry Al, just did it Saturday evening, came out amazing, I bought some fresh garlic 🧄 in a local shop, it’s bigger and harder to peel than the regular stuff, but tastes much better

[@sillysiji5257]

As long as you keep making curry I'll keep watching. You've got me fascinated by curry now!

[@Spacemal]

Thanks Al.. fantastic!

[@gh05tsh3ll]

Just finished making this, and your base gravy. Absolutely spot on, Thankyou. You’ve just saved us a lot of money 😆

[@Danny-ib6ew]

Hey al - just got a big batch of base gravy 2 going; the garlic chili chicken was my favourite to make from your earlier days, can't wait to try this! Big respect

[@matthewpalmer8241]

Here too because of John Robbins obsession with your curries. I can see why! Very informative, I have the Dan Toombs book which is great but you have simplified it and made it really accessible. Nice one and thanks again.

[@drewmoorhouse6210]

Thank you Al! Another great dish! Top video and the best indian chef on youtube! Keep up the good work 👏

[@AlsKitchen]

Thanks Drew. Kind words

[@Sean-pb5om]

Another subscriber! Top stuff, love your channel, keep those recipes coming! :)

[@TheFreebeex]

Watching this in the early hours of the morning and making myself very hungry right now- why am I like this 🙃 curry looks out of this world dude

[@AntiquesUK]

Ace.... I shall be hitting this Friday night! Cheers Al! 👊🏽

[@MrFuchsiamagic]

I've been making "curries" from so-called authentic Indian cookbooks for over 30 years but your recipes take me into another dimension. I have to admit that I added some chopped peppers and king prawns instead of the chicken to the recipe and after a couple of glasses of wine and tasted it, I was in ecstasy! The best BIR dish I have ever tasted and I'm extremely proud of it, all due to you. Thanks Al, you're the greatest!

[@AlsKitchen]

Aw Thanks Chris

[@pagesoftheworld1346]

SO pleased John mentioned you on the podcast. Happy to have been introduced to your channel & knowledge

[@AlsKitchen]

That's great. Welcome aboard 😊

[@TheTrossachs]

Tried a few of Al's curry's now and this is my favourite. Just like a takeaway.... Amazing

[@darrenstephenson0612]

Greetings from Medway. Al mate, love the way you say sticky at 12:02. Thanks for another great vid.

[@nathanblalock7019]

Great video, Al! I would love to see a more current Chicken Tikka Masala recipe for your next video, utilizing your Chicken Tikka, base gravy, and mix powder!

[@dkirby6499]

Made this a few times now, I like adding a teaspoon of ground cloves to it. Great dish!

[@nickpowell1085]

First time trying the BIR methods today and it was an absolute banger

[@simonmakinson]

Magic, as always Al. Great video & cooking lesson. Happy for your reds win, my reds are suffering over the Manchester ship canal. 👍🏻

[@jaymoney8512]

Looking fantastic, I'm going to do this recipe tomorrow!! Cheers mate 👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾🍺😁

[@supersport755]

Curry looks amazing Al!! Liked and subscribed on the back of that Garlic chilli chicken!!

[@DEvilParsnip]

@4:28 ... OK BIR, it's different to authentic recipes. Why have I been lied to all my life.... so this is to get the extra flavour effect ala BIR style. My mind is blown.... So much stress and wasted opportunities !!! THANK YOU... Can't wait to try

[@JoeBaileyWeddingSinger]

Trying this one tonight as I had base gravy to use!

[@andysmith3125]

Made this yesterday, we don't like too much spice so used 2 green peppers, OMG it was incredible, thank you so much for sharing this, absolutely brilliant Al, keep up the good work bud 👍

[@trevfoster7859]

Y.N.C.A You'll Never Curry Alone. Love watching your videos. It's encouraged me to start again. Thank you.

[@1970tonyhill]

Football beer and curry. What more could a man ask for. Great video as always. I’m going to cook this tomorrow, my mouth is watering already 👍🏻🍺

[@robertwem1761]

Hi Al, glad to say the curry was a whole lot better than your team's defending on Sunday evening! Great channel from one happy Villa fan!

[@SKODA20V]

Just found your channel Al - WOW amazing I made a batch of the gravy and made this and the Korma tonight - All the family love it my son loves the Korma and my Wife says we will never order takeaway again it was the best curry she ever had I thought it was the best too - Thanks man - totally subscribed.

[@ianwilliams5108]

[@mrmangohead1219]

Love your recipes just found your channel.

[@thomasfitton3153]

Hi Al, found out about you from John Robins on BBC R5 and what an amazing find. Bit of effort required if you’re doing the special mix and base gravy too but really worth it. Made this today and absolutely loved it. Think I’m getting a little obsessed now. Well played Al.

[@mackerelbasher]

Another great video to watch Al. A nice twist is that you broke it up with other topics as you were cooking. The curry looked great and lm looking forward to trying it out. Good work mate!

[@AlsKitchen]

I thought I was boring the viewers senseless lol

[@123howyt]

[@godsendsdeath666]

I have followed your recipes before and they are superb, as close as BIR I can get them, saves a fortune. Thank you, keep up the vlogs as they are simple to follow, I would like to see you put all these in a book, id buy it, or if not, put them all on a google doc and share the drive, Id pay for that too :) think about it.

[@Hammertime054]

Another one for my list to try, nice one Al👍👍👍

[@globe11123]

Didn't realize you are a fellow Liverpool fan YNWA! I've cooked your madras recipe 3 times so far, going to try this next! Amazing recipes!!

[@Randyvanbag]

Al the red! 😉👍 Great curry sir. I'll definitely be making this one!! 😍

[@marcus1970]

Now I KNOW how great that dish is...... Great depth of flavours and very good heat, wonderful stuff, ladle action, utensil tapping and time lapse... What more can you ask for? Al is the BIR master 👍🏻

[@AlsKitchen]

Thanks a ton

[@HOX666]

Made one today Big Al lad. Was smashing. Muchus gracias me amigo

[@simoncopson9291]

Just done this one and it’s awesome! Think I might get addicted…..

[@paulwilkinson7746]

Fantastic Al, thanks for this. I think making all these dishes kept me and my Mrs saine while we were on furlough 😂. Tried it with beef too using your pre cooked lamb recipe and it was beautiful. Thanks again though, never been able to make 'proper' BIR style dishes before let alone this particular dish and it's bang on. I will always support my local takeaway but its great to know I can do somthing just as good when the funds are a bit tight.

[@nickb5891]

Liked and subscribed! Great video, thanks 👍🏼

[@paulharris4879]

[@stevenlow3036]
