How To Pre-Cook Chicken - British Indian Restaurant Method

Hi guys, just a simple video on how to make the pre-cooked chicken the way I do it in my Restaurant.
For 2 kg chicken / cut in 1 inch cubes
* Less then a cup vegetable oil
*4 heaped tsp garlic & ginger paste
*Spice mix - 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp curry powder, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder, 1 tsp garam masala powder
*3 heaped tbsp tomato puree
* 2-3 cups of water (enough to cover the chicken)

[@mrguillemot]

I have made the base ginger/garlic paste, the tomato paste is done & I’ve made the base gravy (which is delicious - my wife it was just like our local restaurant). Now for the chicken 😀. Am loving this channel.👍👍

[@DDavis-mi2cg]

I subbed because I appreciated this video!😃. Don’t worry about sharing secrets in cooking or anything else. Rewards come from sharing anything with others.

[@davidkeeling655]

I prefer chicken thighs in my curry, but still love your secrets. You're brill.

[@halloweenjack4482]

Me too. Thighs have more flavor and breast can get quite dry.

[@kaiskid5849]

Thanks so much for sharing! Been making my headway into Indian cooking these weeks and your videos have been the most professional and well-explained series I've seen so far. Kudos

[@allanmannion9028]

Got a strong urge for chicken madras for breakfast now 🌶

[@MargaretSmith-iz8ti]

Top man. Great to see how the pros cook; I’m guessing it will be a similar story for lamb or mutton based curries?

[@NamaDoodoo]

Damn Allan 🤣

[@billy4072]

Cleanest kitchen I’ve ever seen👍

[@flapflapflap88]

If your customers can see into the kitchen it'll give you a bit more incentive to keep it clean!!

[@tomparnell3977]

Latif, I can't thank you enough for all the knowledge you give us. I'm a school cook and have never been confident making curries, but since watching your channel I've upped my game significantly. The students love it!! Thanks again mate. 😎

[@LatifsInspired]

Tom Parnell wow, thank you

[@calum5975]

It's awesome to hear that school chefs care to improve their food like this! Those students are lucky to have a school cook like you :)

[@tomparnell3977]

@@calum5975 thanks dude, I try my best. But they're kids. Toughest customers I've ever come across!

[@manonymous4737]

Yes, i gotta say, good on you Tom. I used to cook for disabled people and there wasn’t no internet to help me then

[@calirific3503]

Tip: You have to forget all that French cr.p that they teach you if you want to cook Asian in general

[@katieperx]

So glad we found your channel, my husband wants to come try one of your curries but he has really bad social anxiety and suffers panic attacks when round lots of people so I went out this Christmas and bought him all the spices I could find and all the ingredients needed to TRY to make a curry like yours! 1st attempt is tonight 😀 thanks x

[@glamygirlie6829]

Get it to go.

[@maxineb9598]

Good on you for giving it a go instead of getting take away. You' ll get far more satisfaction even if it's not quite the same as a chef would make.

[@katieperx]

@@maxineb9598 it’s just as good as a take away curry! I love it x

[@grahamcroucher5251]

Just a thought- the inclusion in the background of one of those large stopclocks you can get would help with timings of the different stages. Love the channel and tried your bhindi recipe last night. For a first attempt it was delicious! Thanks for opening the door to the mysteries of BIR.

[@ElonCrusty]

I love indian food and this will be a nice technique in my back pocket when I meal prep, thank you!

[@kerney1981]

I love how you always keep your work areas spotless!

[@jamiechapman8682]

A very grateful thank you back mate!!! True amazing recipes. I’m working my way through them all so glad you showed us all your preps from tomato purée, garlic n ginger paste, mint sauce, base gravy etc so yeh my friend a massive thanks from me and my family for bringing us all together over the dinning table with your delicious food 🙏

[@sunset6010]

THANK YOU for sharing your expertise ! (Love when you say "VOILA!")

[@stillman999]

Mate, iv'e been watching your channel for a bit now, it's brilliant - keep going lad !!

[@davidspicer2082]

What a great channel, I love your style and the way you explain the cooking. Keep it up, I'm truly Inspired

[@tommurphy4094]

Great video, simple and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@terrycapewell1717]

I do something almost the same BUT I marinade the raw chicken in lemon juice for and hour or two, this opens up the fibre and helps absorb the spice broth. This also freezes well, put an amount that is either 1 or 2 person portions in freezer bags(once it has cooled) and freeze but I do recommend natural thawing the day before you use it as (past experience!) microwave thawing tends to toughen the meat even on it's lowest setting !

[@LethalLuigi7]

Cheers Terry. Im only making a curry for one. But I'll use all my chicken up and freeze it. For midweek

[@Netherscorn]

"Gonna put my beloved lid on..." hahah you're just the best. What a guy! :)

[@sham8691]

Excellent contents, I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now and gotta say theres pretty amazing stuff you got going on. You’re a very down to earth guy, really nice to your colleagues, always smiling, loved by us (your fans) and very humble.

[@summittaedae2323]

Looks so simple. We know it’s not lol. The way you Indian chefs balance the flavours is amazing. A friend cooked me a home made Indian dish and WOW I felt it was made for just me it was so perfect. Great channel

Wow. Thank you

[@jodonbaker43]

Your food preparation techniques are excellent just like your food hygiene techniques. As a former chef I am very pleased to see how food hygiene is so important thanks for sharing my friend.

[@halloweenjack4482]

Wow that's refreshing! I'm a chef too and I'm constantly disgusted at how most of the chefs I've worked with have no hygiene standards whatsoever! Good on you!

[@billlyoliveman]

I love this channel. Such a breath of fresh air. The interwebs seems to be polluted with nothing but american cooking. Drives me nuts. Loving this

[@garygibb6316]

Do I keep it in hot stock or will it keep cooking?

[@revertinthemaking]

Thank you for sharing, Latif. It is important that we give up our kitchen secrets. It used to be about competition, but there is more than enough opportunity for everyone. All the tricks, tips and secrets in the world cannot make up for lack of talent, intuition and love. Im not a cook, but I discovered this one on my own, and I love it, for nutrition and flavour. You could call it Freeze and Release. I pick fresh chokecherries every season, barely cook them with water to cover, put them through a food mill and freeze this juice (chokecherries are unpleasant in the raw state). When I am ready to use it, I turn the frozen bottle upside down and let the liquid drip out while also making sure the liquid stays cold in the process (preserving nutrition and flavour). Since the water is the last to melt, all the other goodness drips down into your container and leaves behind a giant chunk of pale pink ice. The result is a thicker, more pungent, intensely colourful and delicious liquid. I consume it right away for maximum nutrition and flavour. I feel the cooking and the freezing is enough processing, and the flavour does not last for days in the fridge. This is a way of significantly reducing without heat. My chokecherry juice tastes just like fresh cherry juice. Imagine what you could do with fresh juice that does not have to be cooked, or even the fresh squeezed apple juice in the carton? Thick, viscous, deliciousness! Love you! Kim

[@LatifsInspired]

Alison thank you for that

[@ashariff9255]

Thanks a lot for all your effort! It is truly remarkable to see you share your knowledge and expertise like this!

[@dianebaker6207]

I always wondered how it was done. Recipes usually just say "use pre-cooked chicken/lamb". Excellent video. Thank you.

[@cool9146]

Latif's inspired could not be a better name. Love your passion and skill. I have tried two dishes so far and they were phenomenal. Thank you so much.

[@leegarner6013]

Brilliant. Cooking chicken can be tricky. Easy to over cook. I tend to poach my chicken and add it to my dish at the end so it doesn’t over cook.

Nice done sir, proper cooki ng...i can imagine the aroma 🤤

I’ve tried cooking your recipes and using your methods. I absolutely have a new found love for curries. Before all curries I made my self tasted the same and was pretty basic now using your ways my eyes are truly open. Thank you... oh and just 1 question if I were to pre cook the chicken like this should I cool it and store in the fridge ?

[@scarecrowbar3375]

I will be trying this today, thanks for sharing.
