Found your channel waaay to late after too many failed curries. I even eneded up buying premade sauces because I couldn't get that restaurant finish! I will take it upon me to try out most of the recepies for 2025. Thanks!
Well I have to say I followed this recipe 100% to pre cook beef shank. It took a while and I let the beef cool down in the liquid. Hands down, thebest pre cooked beef I have ever made. I would give 11 out of 10 on this one! Great!
This looks fantastic… I’ve mastered the art of my base gravy, and I’ve pre-cooked lamb before, and now, I can experiment with this lamb stock. Thanks Misty… curry nights will be even better 👍
Your last comment about the 80’s … I made bir balti last night. Said to the wife ‘ that’s the best balti since the 90’s’ I grew up in Walsall. Real balti capital. I get that statement 100%
Richard, you legend. You're gonna put my local curry house out of business with these amazing vids! Cheers for sharing this curry knowledge with the masses.
Happy New Year 2022 Richard Sayce - (Sir Misty Ricardo) I have noticed you have never made a video for pre-cooked beef or made a beef madras that would be nice to see please can you do this for me Jim - Manchester.
I thought people may possibly find this interesting. This is almost the recipe of a typical home cooked Indian lamb curry, ( it will vary a little from house to house). If you browned the onions and added fresh ginger, garlic and green chillies and without the curry powder element of the mix masala. Finish with garam masala, chopped fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice. Lovely mopped up just as it is with chapaties and raita : )
HI Misty great curry's ,ive mad quite a few lately and was wondering with the lamb stock which i know you said freeze into ice cube trays .But what about the oil on top how long will that last unused ,thank you gain and have both books as well which are awesome by the way .
When I precook lamb, I keep all of the juices for thining the base sauce, I also am big on cumin and fenugreek with lamb so do go a touch OTT with those spices!
Hi there, sorry to say , but at 4.51 you wrote use plenty of sauce to coat the chicken, this was lamb you was cooking, ?great vid though, i will be trying this, thanks 👍
Tej Patta (Asian/Indian Bay Leaves) ? They are quite hard to come by. Your best bet is large Asian supermarkets or buy online. They are already dried out.
+Taz G Hi Taz. This method is for red meats which require long slow cooking. If you want to learn how to pre-cook chicken, take a look at my succulent video ... th-cam.com/video/h1px-GSE6h0/w-d-xo.html
Not for BIR style curries as a base substitute, but a tablespoon or so added to one makes an improvement to the curry. You could create your own traditional style curry with the stock as the foundation. Fantastic flavour.
Looks delicious Richard,would taste amazing just on it's own with a bit of Nan bread..I've seen staff curry's made in this way..Once again full marks ..
I just cooked my Chicken vindaloo using your curry base and I even pre cooked the chicken as per your instructions, it was very nice proberly the best tasting one I have cooked, can't wait to try a few other of your recipes just regarding pre cooking the lamb will that take away that gamey taste as I really hate that yucky smell and taste and when I eat it in indian restaurants it never tastes gamey, thanx for all your uploads
Nice feedback, thanks. I've not had a problem with overly gamey lamb before, but that may depend on the providence of the animal. I've heard that soaking it with salt, then rinsing helps. Let me know if you try it.

Too kind. Glad you appreciate it, thanks.
I’m making this tonight. Getting the meat tender is everything when making meat dishes. Lamb here I come 😅
Happy New Year 2022 Richard Sayce - (Sir Misty Ricardo) I have noticed you have never made a video for pre-cooked beef or made a beef madras that would be nice to see please can you do this for me Jim - Manchester.
Hi Jim. Just pre-cook the beef to this recipe.
I have made almost all your recipes. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. Have you got my book ?
Would this recipe work on beef? Was thinking brisket chopped into cubes
It should. Adjust cooking time.
I thought people may possibly find this interesting. This is almost the recipe of a typical home cooked Indian lamb curry, ( it will vary a little from house to house). If you browned the onions and added fresh ginger, garlic and green chillies and without the curry powder element of the mix masala.

Could I do this in a slow cooker..?
Very nice. Keep up the great videos. Well made and easy to follow.
used the pre cooked with yohr bhuna recipie as good as any takeaway or restaurant. thanks misth
+reverendmississippi welcome and thanks.
HI Misty great curry's ,ive mad quite a few lately and was wondering with the lamb stock which i know you said freeze into ice cube trays .But what about the oil on top how long will that last unused ,thank you gain and have both books as well which are awesome by the way .
Thanks. Not sure about the oil. Keep in fridge or frozen and use your own judgement.
Great, as ever! Could this be done in a CrockPot/pressure cooker?
Yes
What is mix powder please?
Hi. Have a read of this to explain… mistyricardo.com/introduction-to-cooking-bir-curry-part-1/
If I wanted more lamb, would you recommend to just add more water to cover the lamb? 1kg wouldn’t last long for me!
Yes but scale up everything too.
Richard just made a batch of this and came out superb what and how do you use the stock in future dishes.
Many thanx
Great video
Freeze it in cubes. Add defrosted to curries.
@@MistyRicardo thank you is that 1 cube each curry
Depends entirely how big a cube is. 2 TBSP seems fitting.
@@MistyRicardo Thats great thanks Richard
Great vid. Will be using this technique this weekend here in Australia as I'm missing BIRC! Where do you use the frozen stock cubes?
+Jonathan Rogers thank you. Use the lamb stock in lamb or beef curries. It can be used in chicken or veg ones too if you like a mixture of flavours.
When I precook lamb, I keep all of the juices for thining the base sauce, I also am big on cumin and fenugreek with lamb so do go a touch OTT with those spices!
I hear you, and I'm totally with you on that.
Hi there, sorry to say , but at 4.51 you wrote use plenty of sauce to coat the chicken, this was lamb you was cooking, ?great vid though, i will be trying this, thanks 👍
+John Hammersley ouch Meat police.
He also wrote that this will help keep it dry. I don't think coating meat with sauce is supposed to dry it.
"Coat well with the sauce which helps it stay dry"? Surely it helps it stay moist and tender. Who wants dry lamb?
Richard can you do this in a slow cooker and if so is it same technique?
Yes but only transfer into the slow cooker at the stage where it says cover and turn heat low.
And it will need longer to get tender in the slow cooker. Hope that helps.
ok thanx Richard
Misty what shops sell them big leafs and how do you stop them from drying out
Tej Patta (Asian/Indian Bay Leaves) ? They are quite hard to come by. Your best bet is large Asian supermarkets or buy online. They are already dried out.
Hi Misty, can’t wait to add lamb into my curries.
Q. Where can I buy a king handled chef/cooking spoon?
Hi Christopher. Asian supermarkets often sell them, or try hardware stores in areas with an Asian population. Online of course as well.
thank you chef got to say, I love the way you present your video. 😋
Thanks. The flashy bits and music make it a little less boring watching a pan for 5-10 minutes.
Do we not pre cook beef? Is it not necessary?
The cheap cuts of beef will also need pre-cooking. You can use this recipe for that also.
MistyRicardo cheers mate 🍻
can chicken be used instead of beef or lamb?
+Taz G Hi Taz. This method is for red meats which require long slow cooking. If you want to learn how to pre-cook chicken, take a look at my succulent video ... th-cam.com/video/h1px-GSE6h0/w-d-xo.html
Could you use the gravy you just cooked meat in as a curry base? Instead of the recipe you use?
Not for BIR style curries as a base substitute, but a tablespoon or so added to one makes an improvement to the curry. You could create your own traditional style curry with the stock as the foundation. Fantastic flavour.
Looks delicious Richard,would taste amazing just on it's own with a bit of Nan bread..I've seen staff curry's made in this way..Once again full marks ..
+Bertie Bassett Thanks very much Alex. The flavour of the stock afterwards is amazing.
+MistyRicardo Your videos are very bad for me as they always make me hungry! :-D

Still cooking mate.For the Bellew fight had staff chicken curry with chicken 65,tandoori chicken and veg samosas spot on (there were a few of us)
Wow, that's a lot of preparation. Hope your friends/family appreciated all the effort.
GREAT! Thanks!
