Can you make a video of how you make 'tandoori' masala powder, I know you have a recipe for the Madras masala, but this recipe calls for Tandoori Masala and I do not like to buy pre mixed powders, Thanks for all the great recipes, I would try this tonight if I had your tandoori masala recipe

[@TheCurryKid]

Sure, I’ll add it to the list 👍🏼

[@earthling3813]

I am sure you are busy have you considered my second comment below (now deleted) Maybe you could just list the ingredients for the tandoori masala powder in this video under the other recipe? By editing what is there already then we would at least know what spices you use now... I am still dying to try it but it has been two months

I would make 1/2 of this seeing as it will change) :) 3 tablespoons ground coriander 2 tablespoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground fenugreek 1 teaspoon ground mace 1 teaspoon amchoor powder 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground clove

Wow I know I'm getting on to these videos late. But if you make this exactly as instructed, not scrimping on the spices (East End) and add a decent amount of oil with a table spoon of ghee, this tastes as authentic BIR as it gets. Nice one mate!

I like how you give a view of all the ingredients laid out at the start - that's what I like to do as well and it pays to stay organised. I do have some questions. Firstly, why do you add the bell pepper at the same time as the onions? My thinking on onions is that they give off sulphur gas (that's what makes your eyes water when you're chopping them) and it makes your food taste bitter, so you want to cook onions in isolation so that the gas is cooked off before you add any other ingredients. Second question is about cooking the coriander leaf for 3-4 minutes. Normally I would stir in coriander leaf at the end of cooking, as I think that cooking it takes away its delicate flavour. What is the benefit of cooking it like this? Third and final question: is this a recipe for two, and how would you scale up the dry spices and chillies for four or six? I ask because I like to meal-prep meals in advance. Great video btw, and keep up the good work.

[@TheCurryKid]

Hi thanks for the comments, always appreciated. I'll work out the scale for 6 people tomorrow but this is it for 4 people (would probably do 6 with sides to be honest as this is a restaurant portion so fairly large) I always cook 1 dish per pan as we normally all have a different curry but the only thing I'm not sure how to scale is the fresh chillies. I've said double but that may be hit or miss. The oil may also be a little high but that can be spooned off at the end if there is too much For 4 (at least) 9 tablespoons of vegetable oil 2 large sliced brown or white onions 1 red sliced pepper 1 green sliced pepper 4 tablespoons of ginger garlic paste 8 tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with 8 tablespoons of water 3 tablespoon of mix powder or curry powder 4 teaspoons of coriander powder 1 teaspoon of chilli powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon cumin powder 3/4 teaspoon turmeric powder 1 teaspoon sugar 6 birds eye or finger chillies, sliced (## not really sure how this scales so doubled ##) 1.5 teaspoons of tandoori masala powder 3/4 of a teaspoon of mustard 1 litre of boiling water enough meat , veg, paneer or tofu for 4 people 4 green finger chilli (these are mainly for decoration as they are cooked whole) 4 tomatoes sliced into 8 pieces 1 cup of fresh, chopped coriander -- As for the onions and peppers in at the same time that's how the guy who started showing me this style of cooking in Tenerife did it. Really hot pan, onions and peppers in to scorch (bit like for a fajita) and then the spices from then on so I've just always made mine the same. His burners were obviously a lot hotter than mine so it all happened a load faster Coriander wise you're correct. Normally the last minute or so. I've amended the instructions in the video. I added them as normal but must have turned the heat down so it took longer to reduce which ended up being about 4 mins, would normally just be the final min or 2 on high.

[@zulu9812]

@@TheCurryKid Cool, nice one. That's a good tip about the heat required for the onions + peppers - "fajita style". I'll need to remember that, I'm normally a bit more gentle with them.

[@TheCurryKid]

It just adds another level of flavour I feel. Hope it helps

[@daveneaverson7970]

Hi there what are your thoughts on making bigger batches please? Obviously I’d double, triple the meat and veg would you do the same with spices? Thanks in advance

[@TheCurryKid]

Hi Dave, if you let me know what size you want and I'll work it out for you. Apart from the mild ones you cannot simply upscale unfortunately. Most of the time you are better off making double batches as the spices mostly tolerate that. You also can keep enough heat to achieve the caramelisation that adds to the taste that way.

[@daveneaverson7970]

@@TheCurryKid Hi buddy awesome that you take time to respond💪🏻 How would I simply double and how would I make for 8 people please? Thanks in advance

[@TheCurryKid]

@@daveneaverson7970 For 2 it's "almost" just double everything but how I would cook a double portion is below. Make sure any liquids are boiling hot as you want it to keep reducing and caramelising, not sit and soak. I'll work out for 8 for you but my preference would be 4 batches of 2, kept warm in the over, or precooked and warmed in the oven. 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil 1 large sliced brown or white onion 1/2 of a red sliced pepper 1/2 of a green sliced pepper 7 teaspoons of ginger garlic paste 4 tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with 2 tablespoons of water 1.5 tablespoons of mix powder or curry powder 2 teaspoons of coriander powder 1 of a teaspoon of chilli powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder 1/2 teaspoon sugar 5 birds eye or finger chillies, sliced 1 of a teaspoon of tandoori masala powder 1/2 of a teaspoon of mustard 350 millilitres of boiling water 12-14 pieces of meat, veg, paneer or tofu 2 green finger chilli 1 tomato sliced into 8 pieces 1/2 of a cup of fresh, chopped coriander

Hi, this should be good for 2, just make sure the water is boiling hot as you want to make sure you don't end up boiling the spices :) I also microware the watered down tomato puree for 30-60 seconds as well so it doesn't reduce the heat in the pan Hope it helps, Josh 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil 1 large sliced brown or white onion 1/2 of a red sliced pepper 1/2 of a green sliced pepper 2.5 tablespoons of ginger garlic paste 4 tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with 4 tablespoons of water 1.5 tablespoons of mix powder or curry powder 2 teaspoons of coriander powder 1 teaspoon of chilli powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder 1/2 teaspoon sugar 5 birds eye or finger chillies, sliced 3/4 of a teaspoon of tandoori masala powder 1/2 of a teaspoon of mustard 400 millilitres of boiling water 10-12 pieces of meat, veg, paneer or tofu 2 green finger chilli (decoration) 1 tomato sliced into 8 pieces 1/4 of a cup of fresh, chopped coriander (decoration)

[@planesstevee]

So the onions and peppers will be rock hard then?

[@TheCurryKid]

No, completely soft but will have a charred edge and the extra taste. Remember they are fried on their own first for a few minutes and then in the pan all the time all the other ingredients are being added and simmered down. This cook was 9 mins from start to finish so plenty of time for them to soften fully.
