Hi Misty, been using your recipes for some time now and thought I should comment on them, well what can I say, they are superb and so easy to follow, trial and error gets you there, wonderful stuff. Keep up the good work. A little expensive to start buying all the spices but once you have them it's all go. You have saved me a fortune at my local take away, and mines are better as I know what's in them. Many thanks once again.
Misti is my go-to curry instructor. I've made probably 6 of his curries and served to family. They now all agree I am the curry connoisseur of the century. What a ledge. Ty.
what's the difference between the 2 cookbooks vol 1 and 2 and the curry compendium? which one should I order first? thanks for sharing all the great recipes and techniques with us!
Hi and thanks. First of all curry compendium has all the vol1 and vol2 content plus a few more recipes, and is hardback. Vol 1 & 2 are paperbacks. Have a look at the Books section of my website www.mistyricardo.com where you'll find screenshots of the contents pages.
Hello again! You use a black iron Karahi with this and some other dishes. Are you using these to get the best results for the specific dish? If you used a normal flat aluminium pan would the results be poorer? Jay
hi misty this is fro volume 1 page 111 by the looks... how much chicken for out of the book? which would u say is your best tastiest dish too out of you books volume 1 and 2 which i have.. ? thanks
Per portion about 200g is generous. Lots of recipes to choose from. If you like hot try the vindaloo. The Karahi is medium and very tasty too. Hard to pick just one.
God Ricardo, I just did this recipe of yours today again for the N th time and it was delicious, gosh i ate so much together with a nice bottle of red wine I would die happy right now
Ricardo are you aware that you brought curry to the masses ? I mean, true easy inexpensive and exotic-ingredient-free curry ! Thank you very much for your Indian cousine videos !
... another TOP JOB by you Misty... we made this tonight and really enjoyed it - nice to get the burner out and light the patio up once again... once again, many thanks for everything you do
So glad my wife said buy me misty Ricardo's curry compendium for Xmas we have had a great time making absolutely outstanding home made curries I was shocked to see you were not Asian lol 👏👏🤣🤣
Hi Jonathan. Adding the base gravy in stages stops the contents of the frying pan from dropping temperature, and allows you to fry more as opposed to boil. As the water content evaporates, the temperature rises, allowing the various chemical reactions to occur to release delicious flavour compounds. My approach is to use a thin base gravy, which gives enough time for things to cook while it's reducing. Spices do benefit from a good hard cook (without burning).
Hi M.R love watching your videos no unnecessary talk over just get on with it no messing cooking can't wait to cook some of your delicious recipes so i just ordered Vol1 of your cookbook keep on cooking mate ;-)
Hi! No, it's OK. I had to go through many of your recipes and have ordered about 20 spices which should cover most of them. Cheers anyway and thanks for all the vids. I have been trying to recreate these curries for over 20 years now and gave up. Your info has renewed my passion and I'm very grateful for that....
Hi just come across ur channel ur cooking looks amazingly delicious 😋 can't w8 to get all the ingredients and try em out..thank you so much for sharing..Also in this recipe can I replace the chicken with meat??
+Amani Quraishi hi and thanks! Yes you can use any meat 🍖 precooked or prawns. Make sure you check out the base gravy, mix powder, and pre cooked chicken, lamb and chicken tikka videos. Let me know how it goes.
Looks gorgeous and is my fave curry, I can buy all these ingredients and the steps are simple! That said, how on earth did you make the base curry gravy? that's the only thing I'm lost on :(
Hi Millie. Thank you very much. If you would like my book, you can order it from my website www.mistyricardo.com. I also have some merchandise on there if it tickles your fancy.
+kevmalone Hi. The paste is proprietary for the Karahi, but you could make less of it - it's easier to blend in a larger quantity though. You can of course try using the paste in other things.
Hi Brian, yes you can use an ordinary frying pan for this, but there's something very satisfying cooking it in a Korai. Hope you get good results. Follow the video exactly and I think you'll be very happy. Looking forward to your feedback.
Hi and Thanks Nichol. I did already put youtube card annotations up on the video for mix powder and base gravy. Maybe they didn't appear on your screen. You can find the respective videos here: th-cam.com/video/NkQj492PQu4/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/1Eyd3KfEdB4/w-d-xo.html
Hi, and thanks. You can use raw chicken instead if you wish. Add it early in the cooking process, for example at the same time as the green paste. Keep it coated with sauce to help stop it drying out. At the end, make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked through. It won't be as tender as the pre-cooked chicken, but it's a good compromise if you don't have time to pre-cook.
Hi where did you get you Pan and whats is it called ,Thanks ,Also is cast iron the best to use to cook curries ,Im using a wok at the moment and i feel its heating up to quick
I bought it on ebay a few years ago. It's called a Korai. For restaurant style curries, my opinion is that an aluminium frying pan (not not stick) is best. The Korai is also good, but slightly different in that heat control is a little slower, but retains the heat better.
Thank you so much for this. I am currently in the Philippines (but from the UK) and am really craving Indian food, so I am going to try and make this very soon!
A high heat is important to cook the spices and caramelise the sauce, but not at the expense of burning of course. Stir when essential but don’t overstir. What type of electric hob do you have ... induction ?
Hi Misty - Why not use your Karahi to cook ALL your curries in if you have one? It certainly 'looks' more authentic (with the blackened bowl of the Karahi) than an ally pan does! It also looks easier to cook in (with less risk of burning) because of that bowl effect!
Both the korai and ally frying pan are fine for cooking curry in. The korai is fun to cook with but takes a bit longer to cook/caramelise - I use one sometimes when using a raw paste - the extra time is useful to cook the rawness out. Don’t overthink things 😉
Misty, you should try and cook on the front stoves as their will be less splashing of the curry on the tiles. I just hate cleaning all the time and prefer to foil the cooker. Mind you eats difficult to see the flame when you have foil, so the foil needs to be cut in a way where you can still see the flame.
+Houdaloth Ali Good idea, but the highest power gas ring is at the back. If it was at the front, yes there would be less splashing to the tiles, but the splashing would be more on my clothes. It's a say to wipe off stains from the tiles :)
Misty - Ever Karahi curry I've had has always included very thin 'matchsticks' of ginger added towards the end of the cooking process. It's the reason that Karahi, particularly Lamb Karahi is probably my favourite curry; a rich dark medium hot curry with the spicy freshness of chopped Corriander (Cilantro) and Ginger added towards the end of the cooking. Is there a reason you don't add the 'matchsticks' of Ginger in your recipe ??
Kasper Utz no particular reason except that my version is in the British Indian Restaurant style (BIR). I absolutely love the Pakistani addition of ginger juliennes and chilli. Although not Pakistani, see my Shimla Mirch Video where I do something similar for a topping.
Ben Scragg Hi Ben, It's a very generous portion for one, but you can probably stretch it into two meals. Given a side dish and rice, that should be plenty for two people.
Personally I would make two full portions separately. BIR curry cooking really needs heat and surface area enough to caramelise and bring out flavours. If you add too much to the pan you're mainly boiling the curry
Thanks Zenab. The chicken is pre-cooked using the method in this video: th-cam.com/video/h1px-GSE6h0/w-d-xo.html You can also use Chicken Tikka: th-cam.com/video/6R_FHL7cBsQ/w-d-xo.html or Lamb: th-cam.com/video/zk4CJrbmecU/w-d-xo.html LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES.
yeah excellent recipe. but... just cos you cant handle the sharpness doesnt mean you should turn it in to almost a balti . its supposed to be sharp, no need to calm it down with caramelised sugar. chopped big chunks of blanched sweet peppers is enough to balance the sharpness. i love your videos though. where do i get a printed bound copy of your book? my wife wants one for christmas
This is Pakistani recipe right ? I like the way u r cooking it nice . Keep it up . U should also try takatak or katakat , u will love the cooking style of this recipe .......
+MistyRicardo the cooking style is nice but it consists of goat balls, eyes, tongue etc all mashed together and the takatak is the sound the two scrapers make when you are cooking it on a flat plate. Love your videos though !!!
Here in the UK, Tomato Puree is a double concentrated paste. I'm aware that the same thing is called 'Tomato Paste' in other parts of the world. In the recipe the tomato puree (paste) is mixed with water before adding it to the pan, effectively reconstituting it, so you can also use blended tinned (plum) tomatoes instead if you wish. Depends on availability and preference, and you will probably get a very slightly different taste depending on the product.
Stephen P Both ways can work very well. Pre-cook and store it properly and you’ve got tender and flavoured chicken. Add it raw to a curry also good but keep it coated with sauce to help stop it drying out and going tough... don’t overcook it.
@@MistyRicardo I would have thought you'd lose some flavour the water if you pre cooked it. As long as you simmer the chicken gently in the sauce it won't overcook.
+MistyRicardo It's on my "to do" list. Having PC/TH-cam woes since my new PC came. Odd stuff going on hence my user name changed on YT. I will do this though :)
a b to make most spices edible and palatable, you need to bake/roast them, boil them or fry them. most are very bitter and invoke gag reflexes if you try to eat them raw. theres a reason for that. a lot of them are actually poisonous or harmful if ingested raw. powdered spices are already baked when you buy them, so safe to eat as is. but using heat by boiling in a stew or frying releases the flavours hidden within. if you want taste, cook.
So many variations Riz. The only definable quality (setting aside regional variations - both in India and elsewhere) is that of using a korai to cook it in. Thanks for contributing. Where abouts are you, and what is a chicken karahi like there ?
Hi Harry. It's a basic type of spiced onion stock for building restaurant style curries with. I explain it all on my website: mistyricardo.com/introduction-to-cooking-bir-curry-part-1/

I'm making a batch of that base gravy tomorrow.
Hi chef, what's the thought process behind adding the gravy in stages? Silkier texture and better incorporation?
Hi Jonathan. Adding the base gravy in stages stops the contents of the frying pan from dropping temperature, and allows you to fry more as opposed to boil. As the water content evaporates, the temperature rises, allowing the various chemical reactions to occur to release delicious flavour compounds. My approach is to use a thin base gravy, which gives enough time for things to cook while it's reducing. Spices do benefit from a good hard cook (without burning).

Great recipe and video. Is that a Balti pan you are cooking on? Where did you buy it? Thanks
It’s a korai, also know as a karahi/kadai. I bought mine from eBay years ago.
MistyRicardo thanks, is it made from cast iron or aluminium ?
It’s steel and thick. I also use thin ones.
plz gajrela keheer bane ka proscess batden
This looks a well seasoned steel Karahi. Nowadays you mostly use aluminium skillet, it it because it sticks more and creates more char in alu?
Hi
The green paste looks an interesting technique.
Do you have any other recipes in which this is used - its recipe seems like a 12 Tablespoon yield?
+kevmalone Hi. The paste is proprietary for the Karahi, but you could make less of it - it's easier to blend in a larger quantity though. You can of course try using the paste in other things.
Thanks for the rapid reply, I may try this with saag.
That's a good idea! Mushrooms spring to mind too.
What is the mix powder?
what is base gravy.
I presume you can use an ordinary aluminium curry pan for this one as well.
Trying this one very soon it looks delicious...
Hi Brian, yes you can use an ordinary frying pan for this, but there's something very satisfying cooking it in a Korai. Hope you get good results. Follow the video exactly and I think you'll be very happy. Looking forward to your feedback.
Do you make tomato puree by blending tomato and water? How much tomatoes?
You can use blended tinned tomatoes (no need to add water).
Hi I am a new subscriber.. love your recipe s . please do let me know what's mix powder and base gravy. thank you Ricardo..

Nice. it looks so gooooooood.
Is the special green paste used in restaurants or is it something you came up with yourself?
Clint Eastwood it’s a proprietary paste for this recipe. Made it up myself.
Hi is it possible to use uncooked chicken thanks
Btw it looks delicious thanks
Hi, and thanks. You can use raw chicken instead if you wish. Add it early in the cooking process, for example at the same time as the green paste.

Thanks. I'm in NW England.
From where you say to turn the heat up to High....do you leave it at that for the rest of the video?? How come mine starts to burn? (electric cooker?)
A high heat is important to cook the spices and caramelise the sauce, but not at the expense of burning of course. Stir when essential but don’t overstir. What type of electric hob do you have ... induction ?
@@MistyRicardo No, a hob with one halogen ring - that's usually the one I cook on because the others have too small a diameter.
Can I get the recipe? Cooked really well. Highly appreciated!
+Lala Rukh it's all in the video Lara.

hi misty! Great video! the link to your dopiazza isn't working which is a shame!
Hi and thanks. Which Dopiaza link are you meaning ?
@@MistyRicardo can you fix dopiaza link on your karahi video
Have just done so, thanks for pointing it out.
Hi Misty - Why not use your Karahi to cook ALL your curries in if you have one? It certainly 'looks' more authentic (with the blackened bowl of the Karahi) than an ally pan does! It also looks easier to cook in (with less risk of burning) because of that bowl effect!

I just hate cleaning all the time and prefer to foil the cooker.

What makes a karahi different, made in a karahi as opposed to a frying pan?
Well authentically kind of. It’s usually more to how it’s served rather than cooked.
What is meant by mix powder? Madras curry powder? Or tandoori masala? Or something else?

Is your gravy watered down in this or It's just the gravy recipe?
