www.bircurries.... Best site on the internet for everything BIR related.
Looks great, but I wish you would use a wooden spoon.
I love the recipes but the scraping of the metal sets my teeth on edge lol
+googalsalot I've had a few people mention that, and now I've started using a wooden spoon I recent videos.
+MistyRicardo Thanks, I hope it doesn't inhibit your amazing cooking 😀
that was the funniest thing ive heard all day ! it looks great tho
wooden spoon if using non-stick pans. Otherwise, the metal
chef spoon is perfect for scraping everything off the aluminium pan/karahi,
etc. Using the aluminium pan/karahi, the sauce is meant to stick somewhat and
this brings out a different quality and flavour.
Ouch sorry but the metal spoon screeching and scaping in the metal pan really hurt my ears. You should have used a wooden spoon
Do you blanch/pre-coock the spinach or just wash & drain before adding to the base mixture at 03:18?
Came here via Al's kitchen. Great cooking but please ditch the music. ;-)
This went down really well. Used it as a side dish to a Morrocan roast lamb shoulder that I've been doing for a while and despite the fact they are dishes from different continents they complement each other really well.
i don't normally leave comments, but i must say old chum, as well as a Wonderfull recipe, it really was the most pleasant video to watch. bravo!
Roger that, thanks!
is there a written version of this recipe anywhere? I far prefer following recipe's that way
also is that spinach already cooked?
+Alice Shaw if you send me a private message I'll see what I can do.
+Alice Shaw for that video I used frozen blocks of raw spinach.
I'm a little bit lost on the base gravy - which base gravy was being used, or what base gravy have other people been using?
It's this one... mistyricardo.com/base-gravy-recipe/
Mmmm gorgeous! One of my fav curries is this. And love the music. Let the heathens mute it if they care not for it. Nice link for Al there too.
What's in your onion paste other than the obvious?
Fadeypoo Onion Paste (aka Bunjarra)... well I can't improve on the recipe I use from a chap called Mick Crawford, also known as CBM (Curry Barking Mad). He has written two very good eBooks. I recommend both of them for their no nonsense recipes. His RUclips channel is here.. ruclips.net/user/CURRYHOLIC1. The Onion paste is slow cooked with onions and spices, and after patience and love yields a delicious sweet depth of flavour.
Thanks for the feedback by the way FP, and yes Al's Kitchen definitely deserves a mention.
MistyRicardo
Cheers man. Have subbed CBM, looks a good channel. Always looking for good recipes/better ways. peace
Fadeypoo Love the music too and listen to Classic FM when ever I can. However, I had to endure almost 20 mins of this tune on a loop when I telephoned my insurance company and was put on hold. Most annoying. I agree about the curry. Mmmmmmmmmm
mike travis
Companies intentionally do that to encourage you to use their website, thus saving them money. I record all calls with private companies and their on hold musical choices get on my tits too. I'll often put my own music on and concentrate on that. Defend myself with some Floyd or Paul Simon :) peace
All the people moaning about the spoon and pan lol
be careful with aluminum pans, I threw out my old aluminum pans due to health concerns.
Can't see any proof out there aluminium pans are a problem...?
Just made this and I must say it is wonderful. Congrats. Came here by way of Al's kitchen and am certainly impressed. Liked and subscribed.
Welcome along 🙏
Made this tonight, followed recipe to a T. It was amazing , so tasty. Thank you
Thanks Mark, glad you liked it.
How fitting: In keeping with the background music; the 'Allegro' movement from Mozart's masterpiece, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Misty has created his equivalent BIR culinary masterpiece...a perfect marriage of sight and sound.
It seemed appropriate :)
Very nice :)
Wow very good shayari
bring back the scraping
It will be nice to hear your voice :) not the music please??????
Can I add a bit of fresh cream ?
Of course.
This is the second time I've made this dish. First time with frozen spinach. Not bad but still felt I could do better. Made tonight with fresh spinach. Wonderful. Wife say's best we've had in five years. Restaurants here in Toronto are not BIR, in fact dreadful. Thanks again for your terrific and well informed dishes. Also yours is the best base I've made so far. Can't wait for more dishes....
+spiggy toppes Great. Looking forward to hearing more about your curry cooking.
I used a small amount of olive oil and coriander seeds. No onions just spinach potatoes and garlic n a bit of salt. It was amazing
Thank you for this recipe :) very nicely presented and explained. Greetings and nice whishes!
+16kolovoz you're welcome. Thanks.
Can anyone please tell me What is the Base gravy!
The recipe for the base gravy
mistyricardo.com/introduction-to-cooking-bir-curry-part-1/ Includes link to my base gravy recipe
@@MistyRicardo thank you dear
Made this last night as your video. Another Ten out of Ten. Next time i will make it just as a main dish with a bread or a little rice as we enjoyed it so much.
Thanks for the feedback. Lots of people love Saag Aloo.
You're the first person I've seen who makes BIR seem worth bothering with.. paying attention to details. And nicely presented! I still think I'd rather spend time learning Indian cooking, though..
the written recipe is not clearly visible. should be in the description box
made it last night. was insanely delicious... I added some green chilies for a bit of extra heat though...
Good!
just made this its better than my local resturaunt, copied your mix powder and base gravy as well, your a king amoungst men
Thank you.
Hi, do you use yellow mustard seeds or black mustard seeds? Or does it not matter? Thanks for the video; the dish came out GREAT but I had to omit the mustard seeds as I did not have any 😂 But it was still wonderful!
Thanks. I use black ones but you could try with yellow.
MistyRicardo Thanks for the response! Can’t wait to make this again with the mustard seeds :-)
please get rid of the music...if you must have music why not indian music
YUMMMMM
Wow! MY mouth was watering the whole video.SUBSCRIBED!
Made this last night and it tasted absolutely divine on a whole new level. I am obsessed with meat, yet this was so good I didn't even crave meat. It's just as good as a main as it is a side dish! Great stuff Misty, this surely exceeded my local curry house even!
You clearly now how to cook. Take a look at my Punjabi Vegetable Curry video (aloo gobi style)... the cauliflower doesn't leave you craving meat. Thanks by the way.
I will definately give it a try, I have made many of your madrases, masalas and kormas, they are a regular in my house and all my family loves them. And not at all my friend, thank YOU for teaching me/us how to make curries, can not express my appreciation enough for all your lessons. You are a teacher, but you do not teach for money, you teach for the good of humanity so amatuer chefs like me get to learn the tricks of the trade and share the love of food with others. You're doing a really great thing so THANKYOU and RESPECT! :)
Love the music. Love the Aluminium pan. Love the metal spoon, but most of all i love your recipes and method of cooking.
Thank you very much!
this is my go to recipe for saag aloo
Grumpy Old Scotsman I’m not going to argue with you on that!
What is mix powder please?
A basic blend of spices. See my Mix Powder video.
@@MistyRicardo yes.. i just viewed it. Great stuff.
What the hell is panch poron? U write up I English but dont out translations on?
Panch phoron literally means "Five spices" - Cumin, Brown Mustard, Fenugreek, Nigella and Fennel seeds
this looks absolutely delicious - can't wait to try it. nicely done
It's an incredible video..... wonderful recipe, superbly cooked, no doubt delicious!
Then in the final photo; coriander. Fucking coriander absolutely everywhere! Like parsley in the late '70's, shitty portions in the '80's, lemon twists and balti bucket's in the '90's and bastard tapas in the whatever. Please stop chucking it over everything! For 20% of folk, it tastes like crap by way of adverse chemical reaction - but even still... it's old hat and annoying!
Dear Goat Gruff, It appears you had a bad experience with coriander in early life, affecting your emotional reactions when experiencing it in real life, or even visually on a screen. You obviously have lived through decades of food related trauma, both herb related and otherwise, resulting in 'grumpy old man' syndrome, for which you have both my sympathy, and respect. May I tactfully suggest that you seek further help from your local counselling service, or, even better learn to desensitise your fear of the soapy green herb by eating it every morning with your stewed prunes (by the way, are the prunes working yet?). Kind Regards, MRCK.
MistyRicardo I think you're right... It's actually something from a PAST life! I was forced to work as a Plongeur in a post-war 'British restaurant'.... the damage is irrevocable.
I still believe it's lazy presentation however. Especially for such a finely produced dish.
Also, is it possible that in a past life you were indeed a goat, who overgrazed on coriander? Perhaps you lived on a coriander farm, and lived a generally oblivious life until one day ending up as the main feature... goat vindaloo. How ironic, but impressively appropriate.
MistyRicardo No that's not possible ... is it?
Hi, what kind of a base gravy is this? It says to add sugar is that correct? And what kind of a onion paste is this?
+Sahara B Hi Sahara, the Base Gravy is explained in this video (see also the video description).. ruclips.net/video/dambcrWnN24/видео.html
Yes a little sugar helps lift the dish, not always necessary. Onion paste is a bunjarra (onions very slowly fried in oil with spices until dark brown). It adds a lovely depth flavour. I use someone else's recipe for this, but may be producing my own soon.
Finally, a vegetarian recipe ;-) Looks delish, I could eat the whole panful!
I made this last week. Absolutely splendid! This Friday - Prawn and Mushroom Bhuna.... Sans Coriander!
Excellent. Are you sure you can't be converted to the lush green herb?
MistyRicardo I can use the powder and seeds.... I would LOVE to enjoy it (it smells wonderful) but - and you can look this up - it tastes like cleaning products....
Trust me, I'm a real cynic about 'delicate temperaments like 'lactose /wheat intolerance' and such.
When I first tasted it, I thought the chef had left washing up liquid in the pan. It's apparently genetic.
Your channel is brilliant btw.
Thanks Goat. I want to entertain you with something... Coriander doesn't taste like soap. Soap smells/tastes like Coriander. It's used to scent soap.
MistyRicardo It's a genetic condition - look it up!
What is Mix powder?
What is base gravey
Looks great. Is it served with rice or just as it is?
Rice, bread, or just on it's own. The potato is filling.
Hi could you please point me in the right direction to make the garlic & ginger paste?
Hi. Buy some fresh garlic and ginger. Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves. Chop the ginger into smallish chunks, removing any dark brown flesh. Blend together to a fine paste, adding a little neutral oil to help loosen things up. Ginger can be quite powerful, so depending on your taste, use a ratio of 2:1 Garlic:Ginger by weight. If unsure, experiment and find the balance you like.
... or you could buy it ready made in frozen blocks. Make sure it is pure garlic and/or ginger without any additives. Avoid jars or tubes, as these contain preservatives which taint the flavour.
buy it in a jar most places sell it
Please ditch the music :)
Fair point. It's an experiment. Anyone else prefer no music or prefer different music?
MistyRicardo Just my opinion of course :) I'd rather just have the sizzling and clanking and if I want music, I'll put on some of my own :)
Oh, and I second Fadeypoos question about the onion paste. Please elaborate on that :)
***** See the above post for my reply on Onion Paste. Cheers.
Are you using frozen spinach? Would a 200g bag of fresh spinach be enough?
Hi. Yes I was using frozen spinach in this video. 200g bag of fresh (wilted and squeezed) should be plenty.
Thank you. I am making this tonight!
Good luck.
How many portions does this make?
1 Portion, the size like you get from a takeaway. Feeds two as a side dish.
Thank you for your response :)
Can you use creamspinach (the frozen kind) instead of regular spinach?
Yes that should be ok.
What is base gravy pls?
Hi Tejal. It’s an onion based gravy used in British Indian restaurants. Please search my channel for my recipes (e.g. “Misty base gravy”). I’ve written two books about it all, details on my website www.mistyricardo.com
is spinach pre cooked? boiled?
What the hell is base gravy ?
Watch this: ruclips.net/video/1Eyd3KfEdB4/видео.html
MistyRicardo thanks!!
changed my mind after a second viewing i'm cooking this tonight lovely
+Gabby Cattell Good luck
i only have a powder mix to make the panch phoron would it work or leave it out
+Gabby Cattell which of the following do you have? Cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, kalonji seeds?
all powder versions except kalonji
+Gabby Cattell ok, use a quarter (level) teaspoon of each.
misty your good but not that goodyou have extended what bengali cooking culture is all about...that is quick quick quick done..your way can be simplyfied down very easily dont try to fool ppl that know itll backfire on you son...simplicity is the way to go with speed but u really should know that. there cultures are not like the rest of the world..take that tip and work it is my best advice.
thank you for the like you know the score...get those recipes and bring it..

+flora marine Hi Flora, my base gravy video is here.. ruclips.net/video/dambcrWnN24/видео.html
thanks..:)
looks stunning must try this soon cheers
gravy? added how would i make that?
You'll find the base gravy recipe on my youtube channel (just search for 'misty base gravy')
Can I ask how do you make the ginger garlic paste.
Blend chopped up garlic and ginger with a little oil. I have a new ebook out which will answer all your questions, as well as having loads of BIR curry recipes.
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079WJSNWZ
Thanks for that, can't wait to try it.
what is panch phoron ?
+jan6431
a mixture of whole spice. Fennel, Fenugreek, Mustard seeds etc.
Thank you kevin
Just to add to what Kevin kindly said, it's a mixture of fennel, fenugreek, cumin, kalonji, and black mustard seeds. Very common in Bengali cuisine.
Cumin, Brown Mustard, Fenugreek, Nigella and Fennel
Pretty good for a white guy
I made this and it works, excellent saag aloo I love it. Thanks for sharing.
+C.J Brynelen thanks, glad you liked it.
I'm not doing all that!
+Ralph Clark Don't worry, its optional.
Just have everything prepared in bowls, it doesn't even take that long, and then cooking it is easy!
YES!!!!!
Is there not a simpler way as theres only me and my partner i dont want to make too much. Isnt it possible to buy ready made?
Sahara B look at the shop if you want ready made.......this is a how to make video.....you need a "how to buy" video tutorial. Google, "how to buy saag alloo for dummies".
I am not sure why everyone calls is SAAG aloo. Any mention of saag means pureed Mustrd or spinach leaves
BEN MINN all kinds of leaf which is eatable u can say saag as an Indian style
