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!

@mattdomm42514 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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?

Just made the base gravy and chicken tikka this morning and now made this. It's soooooo good. I plan on freezing the gravy in batches but would be great to know how much I should freeze in each batch to prevent wastage. Would also be great if you could list the ingredients somewhere so I can prepare them first without having to keep pausing and going back. Keep up the good work fella.

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 😀

Al!!!! I cooked this the other night. Followed your recipe to the best of my ability. I did three plates, cooked them one at a time. One of my mates is a veggie so I swapped the chicken (pre-cooked tikka (also your recipe)) for vegtables (which I curried before hand with the base gravy), I also increased the chillies and used the extra hot chilli powder for one because he is a vindaloo lover.....they were exquisite! Better than BIR...better mate. Thank you soo much, I'm no chef and yet, they went down a treat. AND England got to the final afterwards. An amazing night.
