Restaurant-Style Curry

[Dinaroar]

I adore you! You are fabulous, witty, cheeky and thank goodness British! Thank you from the Wilds of Nevada--I know what I am going to be making this weekend.  Yum!

[rdo1231]

What a lively, lovely woman – so much character and pizzazz – she is a star!!!!! Thank you for the cooking tips!

[vishakha2005]

Roughly for 1 onion how many tomatoes i should use as i don't have that tomato paste?

[TitliNihaan]

@vishakha2005 About 4

[EstherstyleSYD]

I suggest to use chicken legs rather than chicken breast, legs have a bit more fat so they taste more tender than breast when they are cooked.

[creativityuser123]

man, i cant stop watching your videos! :)

[HyPeRtRaXps3]

LOL THIS GIRLS CLASS ;)

[bigemugamer]

Mmmmm P= eating your curry again, i added to the 8 quarts i made of the base, chunks of potatoes, red and green peppers, chick peas, mushrooms, hot chillies for bite, more onions and fried firm tofu cut into rectangular cubes. my 2 Indian housemates loved the plates i made for them, loved it, they said it was soooo rich and flavorful, gonna give my Indian manager some tomorrow. did you know that the C&B chutney i buy is $7 a 250ml bottle??!! =O ...bought 4 of them today, its that good ;) laterz

[juliusreea]

he's a rude little man:D

[TitliNihaan]

@juliusreea Who?

[sowmiyad]

This is The order.. Ghee->onion->ginger garlic paste-> Masala(The powder)-> Tomato

[deepakMR0078]

could you suggest us some more curries , I mean those South INdian Curries and the Karnataka Curries , i wonder what do they add , i likeded video very much ,you simpky rock ,thanks

[miketravis]

Titli you are as barmy as the day is long! But you make a cracking curry. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. :)

[SnapAEng]

Hells yeah, totally trying this. How do you make it hotter though for vindaloo etc - literally just add more masala powders?

[TitliNihaan]

@SnapAEng I would add more chillis.

[bigemugamer]

After researching for a curry similar to the one i loved I went with your restuarnt style curry resipe as i believed it would be closest to what I wanted, tried it yesterday as a test, followed the recipe to the letter and it was great, making 8 quarts of it today to freeze, its not to much unlike the lamb curry i use to enjoy at the Elephant & castle restuarant when i worked there, even bought the same mango chutney to go with it Crosse & Blackwell, num num, thx Titli, yer one spicy number ;)

[TitliNihaan]

@bigemugamer C&B FTW :-)

[skittification]

crazy but adorable!

[bigballers522]

[1Honest007]

Sweet Video.Your an excellent cook and teacher..

[rakaposhi888]

I guess if I put u into it, it will be more testy.

[mickycaszsr]

shes flipped

[24678903]

I wish you would move in next door to me, you are completely mad, but you make great videos.!.!

[TitliNihaan]

@1Honest007 You can, but the cooking time for the meat will be different

[SuperPacman00]

Thanks for a simple base sauce ive added some chopped chilli and tomato tonight very nice

[verty87]

It wasn't billed as a "Proper" curry, it's a base for a restaurant curry....and restaurant curries are not "Proper" in the traditional sense, however a multitude of people prefer them.

[Yasnasahar]

thanks for the recipe tried it today and hubby loved it :)

[kevthedude1]

Nice one cock, I'm gonner look forward to avin a goo at this , tat tah

[nikkdobson123]

Superb Character, you should have your own main stream TV show. Thanks so much for your videos

[leemouse]

What a pleasent lady.

[fezan84]

LOL I loved the infomercial style advertising of the curry base =D

Great video, this is a really handy recipe =]

[iEGeek]

Hehe, anyone on the Man U team but Wayne Rooney.

[usman22489]

Dear Titli, I really like a lot of your recipes but this one. I'm sure your curry tasted great but that isn't how you make a curry. I agree that's how they make it in a lot of Asian restaurants and to be honest, I wouldn't go twice to an asian restaurant in Birmingham or the UK. The curry base seemed to thick. The order in which you cooked it differs from the traditional way but I guess there is no set way to cooking a curry. Would love to send you a recipe of mines somehow and see how that...

[usman22489]

@usman22489 fares out for you. or I could just cook you a curry hehe :)

[TitliNihaan]

@usman22489 I know it isn't how you make a proper curry. A lot of people asked me how to make a "base" which is the purpose of this video. Having made it I think that a number of people will be better informed about the quality of the curries they might get at their local restaurant!

[GuTWorm68]

@usman22489 this is the curry we all love! I have tried numerous authentic recipies but all I crave is the taste of a restaurant curry!

[utopiaopera]

I made this the other day. Very good simple base, and I've tried many base recipes. Here I used veg oil instead of ghee and once the base was made, I just made a paste with 2 Tbsp of good curry powder with a little water (or use vinegar), gently fried it off, added some chickpeas and cooked meat, then poured the base in and cooked out for 15-20mins.

[GAGABOY999]

where do you live??

[TitliNihaan]

@GAGABOY999 In the UK (Wales to be more specific)

[dannyboyfr1978]

@TitliNihaan

thanks so much for this,been looking for how to make the thick curry gravy for ages.")

[Shafnie2286]

[TitliNihaan]

@Shafnie2286 I'm originally from Birmingham, but live in Wales now.

[Shafnie2286]

@TitliNihaan i see... Do u live in Cardiff? Too bad i left the place before watching your videos or else i would love to learn personally all your recipes from u :)

[TitliNihaan]

@Shafnie2286 I'm in mid-Wales :-)

[JaninaM]

Made a batch of this yesterday. Great recipe. So easy.

Could I add chilli powder to the spices to make it a bit spicier?

[mentholights]

very very nice base sauce but why didnt you take the seeds out of the chilli?

those are the thing sometimes make the dish bitter...... thex again for this great video

[ameenabobina]

@TitliNihaan This is a bit of a random question but do you live in France by any chance? The reason I ask is because I notice your tin of tomatoes is from the grocery store "Carrefour" and when I lived in France last year I used to shop there all the time! :)

[ameenabobina]

@TitliNihaan This is a bit of a random question but do you live in France by any chance? The reason I ask is because I notice your tin of tomatoes is from the grocery store "Carrefour" and when I lived in France last year I used to shop there all the time! :)

[TitliNihaan]

@ameenabobina I USED to live in France.  That tin was one which came back to the UK with me. Still "in-date", so no problem :-)

[TheGamingPenguin1]

I love your curry and cake recipes. Whenever you make one which appeals to me I go out, get the ingredients and make it! The only problem is. They seem to have a high calorie and fat content. I was wondering If you could show me how to make, for example a low fat chocolate cake or any recipe you deem easy to reduce the fat and calorie content. Thankyou!

[FatedSnowfox]

Just given it a go. My invented curry has no trousers in it, but it has some leftover roast chicken, a handful of aloo and a few cashews :)

[Daydreamer717]

THANK YOU!!! Base curry sauce has now earned a spot in my freezer! There are so many times I want curry, but don't feel like frying onions and tomatoes. This is a great problem solver! YAY LAZY CURRY! :D

[agnesdeque]

Vive "les petites sauces toutes prêtes et qui vous simplifient drôlement la cuisine "par CHEF TITLI !!!

[xmykeyx]

titli do you always eat the food you cook for your videos? i hardly see you taste your food :P

[TitliNihaan]

@xmykeyx Of course I do! Nom nom nom...

[dylandebbiesteph]

Wayne Rooney a rude little man.....not to mention an ugly little f f f fella too! There was a time he couldn't get a kick from a cow....if he was stood in a field full of them! lol

[dylandebbiesteph]

Wayne Rooney a rude little man.....not to mention an ugly little f f f fella too!

[pollatso]

i,ll try it but as for trousers out of it i think i'll give em a mis....!!! many thanks....

[jo05dk]

I'm gonna try this! I LOVE curry dishes, and if this is an easy way of making more of them, i'll be forever thankful.

Great work, keep'em coming!:-)

[chrissiemoda]

is cooking with ghee add a different flavor to dishes or is a cultural/religious thing. i'm not trying to offend i'm just interested

[TitliNihaan]

@chrissiemoda Ghee is just clarified butter. It adds a different taste and lasts much longer than ordinary butter and doesn't go rancid like ordinary butter.

[merciasound]

For the mango powder look for 'Ambchoor' or you could use tamarind paste slaked in a little water, or even a tablespoon of lemon juice at a push - it's just to give a slight sourness

[icallgreens]

I am not very familiar with some of the spices you used. Is this dish spicy without chiles?

[TitliNihaan]

@icallgreens Not really. You need to add some chillis or chilli powder to spice it up a bit

[BeeRich33]

Even lamb Dhansak? Brummie?

[curtatlanta]

LOL. Thats exactly the mix of indian spices I use for all my curries and I just started cooking indian 6 months ago. I have similar spice mixes for chinese (ginger, garlic, five spice) and italian (basil, oregano, and thyme) and mex (cumin, oregano, chili). And I pre mix and store them in empty spice jars for quick cooking.

[ame7272]

Wayne Rooney!!! You must be a Goooner.....Uggggghhhhh

LOL :)

[sk176h]

When you do this the chicken tastes very different than the gravy. Most of the times the chicken tastes horrible ... its just the gravy that tastes ok ... the real good way to make chicken is cook it with all the spices ..... i hate eating in restaurants

[TitliNihaan]

@sk176h Absolutely agree!

[osummuso]

LOL. You were right about Wayne Rooney!

[depressedtoad]

Titli, your kitchen is so full of win.

Cant wait to blow people away next time i decide to think about cooking

[pepsysxd]

omg, thats great but where can i find a mango powder?! :O

[osummuso]

@pepsysxd Never seen it myself, but maybe some fresh, canned or even chutneyed Mango would work?

[syazo]

luckily i'm a newcastle united fan. by the way are you in france? the brand's (that small blender) kinda familiar

[pakiboy1988]

I always wondered why I couldnt get my curry to become more restaurant style. THANK YOU

[ISinizterI]

how old are you

[TitliNihaan]

@ISinizterI Old enough to be yo mamma.

[priya1985]

@TitliNihaan your funny.

[nida1990]

@TitliNihaan i like that ;)

[bearhedded]

One of your best! That must be getting difficult to do!

[jonnycoyle]

Wayne Rooneys mouth is as common as muck

[dondonmofo99]

awesome

[ismihanna]

one of my favorite

[CarolineTurpentine]

p.s. what is that bowl that you serve everything in.. is it just a pan or is it an actual serving bowl?

[TitliNihaan]

@CarolineTurpentine They are stainless steel bowls. I use them to serve, but you could use them to cook in also.

[BeeRich33]

@CarolineTurpentine Karahi.

[CarolineTurpentine]

i would mind me some manchester united boys.. i must make this sauce!

[Quentin02143]

Excellent! I wonder if the email I sent you a few months ago influences this recipe...yours is slightly different than the recipe I sent you though.

[TitliNihaan]

@Quentin02143 A few people have asked me for a base gravy and suggested different recipes as well. They are all very similar, but I like this one with paprika and the base spices of coriander, cumin and turmeric.

[zeineb93]

Curry without curry...? I wanna try.

[OCDchris]

:)

[AgentAshcroft]

Looks delicious! :) I like it when you get excited haha. You're so fun! I would love to see more Chinese chicken dishes if you ever have the opportunity to do another one again sometime. Can't wait for the next one, Titli!

[acf870]

no, no, call it tits curry

[Jamfilleddough27]

Hey Titli..... I always enjoy watching your cooking videos!

Could you please show how to make Donuts....? (either baked or fried)

Thanks :)

[maresolaris]

Dear Titli, as always, you've thought me (us) some great tricks. Your recipes and how-to's are a treat! Thank you!

[ZamMeansDeath]

Love you lots, Titli! 

[mommafletch]

Hey Miss Titli!  Could you tell me how you make ghee?

[TitliNihaan]

@mommafletch I have a video for that. Check out my website...

[mommafletch]

@TitliNihaan Oh awesome!!! I don't know how I missed it, thanks so much!
