Hi Al, I follow your recipes but I’m sure I’m getting burnt spices. Would be great to hear more details on how hot to have the pan when adding the dry spices. Great channel btw.
I am not sure you can do anything to improve - what you do is perfect 👌 Easy to follow, and I find your voice very calming. Look forward to the book and will be trying this one. Thank you 😊
Al - you ask "how do I improve the channel?". My reply - keep it EXACTLY the same. You deliver perfect info, perfect tuition and a genuine charm that makes us feel like we're your mates. That's magic. First Law of rural Mechanics - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Been doing curry Sundays every week since September. Between you and Latif, I don't think that tradition is going to end anytime soon. New curry every week, and they've all been amazing. Cheers, Al!
I learnt from Al and his channel how to cook BIR curry’s and it really works. Keep watching his videos even when you think you know it. As Al answers questions you have. Please do as he says and you will not regret it. It is a great little hobby. Gives pleasure to family and friends as well as builds confidence in owning a skill you will never loose. Best of luck.
@@yvonnelister5670 , hello Yvonne. I recommend putting your dried fenugreek / Methi leaves in before you add any base gravy to your pan. Give the dry leaves a rub in your hands to further reduce any big bits. Adding this to the spices and oil before the base gravy will help release their unique oils and flavor from the Methi, into the other hot oil herbs, spices and onions. And so building your flavors. Good luck.
Some really good tips today. I have been doing this for a while, but the tips about doubling up and gravy consistency have given me some new things to try. Thanks
The taste test is literally the funniest part of the video. Reminds me of myself when I cook. I remember when I first made my girlfriend something years and years ago she was in the kitchen with me when I done a taste test, I tasted it and collapsed on the kitchen floor and she panicked and asked if I was ok, I said I'm fine it just tasted that good it made me weak at the knees🤣🤣🤣🤣. Much like you do now mate hilarious 🤣 😆 😂 😄 👍
Al, discovered you on Elis and John and made my first base gravy yesterday. Made this Dopiaza this evening and it was brilliant. Takeaway standard and I’m thrilled. So much base gravy to take on your other recipes. Thank you so much
Beautiful stuff! You’ve certainly taught me a skill and learning to make perfect BIR curries is how I’ll remember lockdown 1,2 and 3! Great work Al 🌶👌🏼X
Hi Al I'm in Dublin and I've been wanting to cook Indian for quite a while now, I stumbled on your channel a little while back and I think you do a great job, all, and I mean all of the Indian takeaways I've ever gone to in Dublin only serve you muck, so I decided to have a go myself, I've followed your vid on the base gravy yesterday, 1/1/22, the missus has a load of those aluminium trays and I filled 9 of them with 5 ladles in each to freeze, had a half tray of gravy left over so today I'm having a go at your dopiaza but with prawns, I'll keep you posted 😊
I am English living in Ireland for 8 years. The one thing I miss is the BIR curries from my home town, but I learned to cook them before I moved here. They are a world apart from what is served here in Ireland, my local didn't even use a base gravy, in fact it used hardly anything. I have been watching Al for a few years along with Latif and Julian Voight, these were my go to for curries. I mainly cook home cooked varieties now, the taste is the same, just the texture is different.
“Oh my god - Wonder Woman” . Not sure where that came from, but I know what you mean Al. Cooking some of your recipes and then tasting them has brought tears of happiness to my eyes. Top bloke, top channel, top curries. Please keep them coming. I’m cooking this one today👏👏👏
Cooked this last night for my wife and son. Added a bit more chilli and it was really good, we rate this in our top 6 Al's curries, Chicken Bhuna has top spot at the moment. I mixed a batch of Al's mixed spice today, so looking forward to trying that. Al, thanks for changing our Saturday nights!
Al I've just made your Dupiaza and absolutely loved it, I've already made the tikka masala twice beautiful my family loved it, thank you Al for inspiring me.xx
I made this today following your chicken tikka recipe and it was the best curry I ever made. I tweaked it to use ghee instead of oil and added a blended garam masala in with the cumin seeds. So delicious. Thank you so much!
I swear I saw you in Bromley the other day Al. Wasn’t sure if it was you but just to say love all of your content and really love adding these recipes to my repertoire 😁
Al, I’ve watched this a few times now and I think you forgot the Kasoori Methi. I am making this tonight so I wlll sprinkle like you normally do, just after the tomato purée is added. Hope that’s right! Really looking forward to it.
Al.... You had me at the draft beer dispenser..... I made your newest tikka Pathia this week (I know I should comment under that post) absolutely fabulous wife loved it. Also did a side of Chana Saag which was (as ever) "a banger". Great to see you pop up early 2021. I will be trying this one shortly with some of the "base" in the freezer. Happy new year Al.
Dopiaza is my favourite curry. Regardless of what curry I order, I get a dopiaza as a side. Vindaloo, jalfrezi, stick a side of dopiaza and you have a feast fit for a king.
Love your recipes , with the price of a curry and the usual accompaniments for one person over £20 where I am these days , your recipes have saved me a fortune.
Al my new hero Tried loads of times to do indian curry's all are OK but never indian quality. Fell on your TH-cam by mistake. Made a base gravy then tonight followed your chicken dupiaza recipe made it for my wife when she came home from work. Absolutely stunning embarrassed to say better than our restaurant quility around Merseyside here.. Well done mate 👍 👍 fantastic Y. N. W. A. 👌👌🍻🍻
Hi Al, I made this dish this evening and it was exceptional. My new favourite along with your Chasni. Can’t wait for the book, I hope it will be available on Kindle as well... Superb videos and recipes, well explained and demonstrated.
Good evening Al super videos, and recepies mate. Just a quick one going to try and do this Saturday night but for 5 people Can I do separate dishes and just put in the microwave or just reheat on the hob to warm it back up as one whole lot ? Thanks for all your help and tips they really are amazing 👏
Hey Al, what a fantastic curry! Seriously good my friend, and you have all the kit... Loved watching how you made it in this authentic way, incredible. ✌🏻😋😎👌🏻
Well I purchased a deep Biryani frying pan just like ur video and bought some of the methi leaves and spices on line and we loved the Dopiaza curry Al BEAUTIFUL I also made 5 litre pot of ur base gravy and everything seemed to well and it did. Cheers my friend will have a try at ur very simple chicken Madras 👍😀
Great Al, look forward to buying your book, keep your fans posted on book progress. What about this latest curry, can only say everyone of your curries are great, thanks Al.
Good God Al, this looks like the most delicious one yet. I have never been served a curry in a restaurant that looks as good as this one does. This one gets made next. Take care.
Al your channel is magic. I sort of feel like a top Indian chef now 😂. I love your perfect draft, mine arrived today and the Stella has gone already.....don’t worry between 3 of us 😃.
Back with another banger. The original one you posted is one of our favourites so I can't wait to try this. We need to knock up some mixed powder though. Loving the curries mate. Keep em coming.
I so want to eat that. I’m drooling I think. If I could swim across the pond I’d be there with some beer and some victuals to eat. Nothing but love man. Thanks again for your show.
Quorn Rogan Josh and Saag Paneer last weekend, Quorn Passanda last night. All excellent Al (missus is vegetarian). Can't wait to cook a vege curry for her and a chicken or lamb one for myself. As others have said don't change a thing. Part of the enjoyment of watching is your easy going manner. Saturday Morning Kitchen with Al would be a great watch!!. Surely someone knows someone who could sow the seeds for this to happen?
Will be trying this! Made the original dopiaza recently and loved it. Have done the korma and pathia also so far. Family loved them. Can’t wait for the book. I reckon you need to go on Saturday kitchen....
Al love the food, cooking curry is so fun in my opinion! Any chance you can do a base gravy tutorial but on a smaller level? Don't have big enough pans haha
You use tomato puree but dont list it in the ingredients and you list methi but never use it in the recipe... loool a LEGEND :) By the way I just made this dish today and I agree with you... OUT OF THIS WORLD !
Great again mate,like the idea of seeing if your local curry house will let you in for a filming sesh, there was a channel on TH-cam that did that a few years ago, can't remember who it was,but it was really good,anyway video and footage good as all ways,cheers Al and fingers crossed for tommorw
Excellent video again Al, your videos have become part of our daily evening TV! When does the kasoori methi go in? I've watched the video many times and don't see you using it
Yes Al. This was a banger indeed. And with a V12 engine! It was the tikka that made it. I found myself saying all the things that you did while you were tasting it. Cooked two portions in separate pans the restaurant way.
Hi Al, 24cm Pan arrived today from MAROO in Wembley....Made base gravy at the weekend and grilled marinated chicken tikka this morning......lets get cooking.
You kindly sent my wife a link to buy an aluminium pan and ladle so she could get me them for my birthday this month. All turned up perfectly and looking forward to using it next week!
Hi Al, I've just cooked this doooopiaza, used your base gravy 2 but added a whole chilli 🌶 seeds toboot. It's fantastic, great recipe. Also separated into two pans before I added the chicken, as my daughter is vegetarian. 9/10 , would be 10/10 but I think I might have softened the onions to much at the start. Cheers Paddy God's kingdom Newcastle Upon Tyne
Hey Al. I’d love to see some more vegetarian curries. Maybe tandoori Paneer, or a pre-cooked veggie mix, like they use in BIR. Can’t wait for the book. Thank you. 🙏
Colours on the side cam are so gorgeous, rich and vibrant. The head on camera is really gray and dull. Can you fiddle with that for the next vid Al please? Make it PoP!
Another smashed it out the park curry this was better than our local takeaway pal well done. Al im loving your curries thankyou so much.....book purchase awaiting
Let me know what you all think about this curry. Also how you feel I can improve the channel. Thanks Al
Inspired me to go out today and get all my spices and aluminium pan to try my favourite curry Ceylon. Loving your channel Al, up the Reds, YNWA
Just keep doing what you’re doing mate
Hi Al, I follow your recipes but I’m sure I’m getting burnt spices. Would be great to hear more details on how hot to have the pan when adding the dry spices. Great channel btw.

I couldn’t agree more, I already knew how to make a good curry but Al improved my skills immensely.
When do i put the methi in ?

I’ve watched it a couple of times now, and I haven’t seen it go in - in fact the container looks empty when cooking starts!🤣

Just made this curry following the recipe carefully. Absolutely delicious.
Congratulations on 50k subs. Been treating my family to your curries during lockdown!
Yay! Thank you!
Dopiaza is my favourite curry. Regardless of what curry I order, I get a dopiaza as a side. Vindaloo, jalfrezi, stick a side of dopiaza and you have a feast fit for a king.

Very good! The Keith Floyd of the curry kitchen! Just one point: no 2nd dose of onion and no turmeric?
Great video again nice clear and easy demonstration , can’t wait till
Your book is out👍🏼🍺
Brilliant again Al top stuff and that beer also looks good
Yes! I can't wait for the book. First day buyer!
That looks amazing Al, this is on my to do list once I've made another batch of gravy. Thanks again for the video s👍👍👍

Not had one of them for years and your one looks spot on 👌🤤🤤
Made Your Chicken Dopiaza tonight home made Naans breads....Heaven...Thanks Al your a inspiration.
Big Al, what about a nice new and improved Vindaloo in one of your upcoming videos?
Excellent video again Al, your videos have become part of our daily evening TV! When does the kasoori methi go in? I've watched the video many times and don't see you using it
Thanks for watching. yeah, I forgot to add on the video, just sprinkle in near the end. Cheers
Looks delicious Al
And beer on tap wicked!!!💪
Al, love the vids mate, legendary cooking, I miss currys so much, we don’t really get decent ones here in Holland
This is a very valuable point 1-2person portions is good but increasing does it just doesn’t work I don’t know why
Because the ratio of spice to gravy is out. You always need much less spice the larger the curry gets.
Yes Al. This was a banger indeed. And with a V12 engine! It was the tikka that made it. I found myself saying all the things that you did while you were tasting it. Cooked two portions in separate pans the restaurant way.
Right on! Thanks Man, Cheers Thx
Hi Al,
24cm Pan arrived today from MAROO in Wembley....Made base gravy at the weekend and grilled marinated chicken tikka this morning......lets get cooking.
Looks good Al. I’ve cooked a few of your curry’s now and they’ve all been top notch. 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Ten out of ten👍🏆
Boiled eggs in curry, cant be beat.
You kindly sent my wife a link to buy an aluminium pan and ladle so she could get me them for my birthday this month. All turned up perfectly and looking forward to using it next week!
Perfect!

Hey Al.
I’d love to see some more vegetarian curries.
Maybe tandoori Paneer, or a pre-cooked veggie mix, like they use in BIR.
Can’t wait for the book.
Thank you. 🙏
Brilliant job
When does the Methi go in? Tried it last night for r, very nice thanks Al.
Al!!! If you were cooking this with raw chicken when would you add it? 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Al another great looking curry, I have made many of your currys with a big thumbs up from the wife. when and where are you selling your book
Binge watching you cook from Delhi! Made by parents some balti the other day and much to their horror, they loved it!
Colours on the side cam are so gorgeous, rich and vibrant. The head on camera is really gray and dull. Can you fiddle with that for the next vid Al please? Make it PoP!
Another smashed it out the park curry this was better than our local takeaway pal well done.
Al im loving your curries thankyou so much.....book purchase awaiting
Thanks 👍
Yes!!!!! This will be made tomorrow
Finally your doing a curry book! I’ll be the first to buy it
