Glad you like them!

I loved this dopiaza. Tasted bloody amazing! I loved all the onions. Thanks Al !

Al, I have made this for our tea today, never even had this curry before so it was a leap of faith. A leap we were both very happy 😊 to have taken. What a lovely curry 🍛, and so different. Thank you for bringing this one to us. Please continue to produce your 30 minute curries 😮 for us all to enjoy. 😊

Thank you pay for sharing this. Good luck. Merry Christmas From Loughborough.

thats the weekend sorted for me looks so good

Great to see you back Al, thanks for uploading

Love this series, working my way through them all, thanks Al. Any chance of a 30 min sagwala in the future?

Another 30 min belter! Great work! Merry Xmas pal, hope you all have a cool Yule 🍾🥂🎄🌶️Xx

Another master class Al!

I've done your original with the pre made base2, and that's a belter. Gonna give this a go over Christmas, cannit wait bonny lad

Very nice sharing🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Class as always Al - love watching your vids as its as satisfying as making them. Still use the Balti bowl i won in your page. Would love a vindaloo next. Keep up the top work mate and have a great weekend

Al, thanks for sharing that looked amazing and I'm sure it tasted even better! 🙂🙂😋😋😎😎

Thanks mate ... have a great Xmas... 🎁 🎁 🎄🎄

As soon as you poured that beer (before you had even cooked anything), I hit Subscribe hahaha! The only thing I would have done differently, would be to dry fry the aromatics in a hot, dry pan - just to concentrate those aromas as much as possible. But I guess once it’s all cooked together, I doubt anyone would even notice, or care about the difference. I’m going to check out the rest of your videos and see if I can put together an obnoxiously BIG curry feast for my next gathering! Keep up the excellent work mate!

Without doubt your best one so far...... AMMMMMMMMAZING!!!!

A belter mate - looks top nosh! Catch up in a bit. Best, Rik

Al Thank you 🙏🏽 very much for my apron which arrived yesterday. Cannot wait to cook a curry wearing it 👍👍😋😋😜 Colin

I made it tonight. Amazing mate. Thank you.

Looks amazing and no doubt tastes it too

You are the guv’nor mate. Your voice is so relaxing

This is the first of your curries I've made, after having given up on ever finding a decent BIR-style curry in Australia. I have to say it was absolutely fantastic. By far the best curry I've had since leaving Blighty. I kept the house shut up for a few days afterwards so I could enjoy the curry smell, especially the onions! Thanks so much Al, I'm trying another of your recipes tomorrow, can't wait.

AL just cooked the Dopiaza fantastic thankyou

Al thank you for these videos.. I watched this with my my mum and we're going to make a couple of them together next Sunday. Food is such a beautiful thing - world wide the coming together of people and no better cuisine for us than Indian. I said to her this guy knows exactly what he's talking about - can't wait!

Well done Al 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and yours 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Thanks Al, I’ve made quite a few of your 30 min series now, only thing I find with boiling the onions in water, and blending them, is that they spit like Hell when I put them into the oil. I found microwaving them for 5 mins, then blending to be better for this as they don’t spit nearly as much. To substitute not having the onion stock, I just make a quick stock from boiling some whole spices for 5 mins or so, then straining into a jug.

I like to fry them slow for nearly 2 hrs with whole masala spices, ie cassia bark, cardamon (green & black), bay, star anise. There is no real rule as long as it works.

Ive been loving your serve more people curries i love entertaining people and love making curries but im still learning could i ask for a request of a lamb balti for 4 people please 🙏 😊

Amazing curries really enjoyed making them! Any chance of a handi or hyderabadi next at all??

Just bought some of your mix and bazaar spice kit gonna make a Bhuna when they arrive, hope it tastes as good as your curries look.

I fry finely sliced onions with the lid on, it increases the temperature and gives the onions a steam cooking at the same time, making them softer as they brown

Yer im the same ive made almost all of your curry's now Al. Love the 30min series and I definitely think there is a ccok book in there somewhere? P.S i cant remember the last time i had a takeaway curry since I've been following you. 👍👍

Wow wow wow, just finished this bad boy. Took a bit more effort with onions, but have to say this may be my favourite. It was fantastic, added a bit of Mr Naga of course. Results fantastic.... thank you

Hi Al. Do you have any recopies using Asafoetida (Asafetida Powder (Hing)) ? If not, could you share one at some point? Thank you.. , keep up the good work! This recipe looks great, I can't wait to make it.

Hi Al Nice video and option. Try 4 good size ripe tomatoes in your blender with half a fist of corriander instead of tomatoe puree. Make a nice difference

With the addition of 5 finger chilli’s this is the best one yet!

HAPPY NEW YEAR AL

great recipe as always. Desperate for a 30 min Ceylon Curry

Ok, this makes me feel like cooking and hungry ❤

Happy new year Al

My wife’s favourite is a Dopiaza so I’ll be cooking this recipe on Friday night. Craft Ale accompanying me with the cooking.

Hi Al, love the curries. Any chance of some lamb curries, my local has a Gosht Pata that I would love to make at home.

Dupiza is my all time favourite and made many variations from yourself and others but you do really need base gravy

One of my v-favourite veggies. The noble onion. The missus has done Dopiaza before but will try this one. (I am mostly drinking a homebrewed IPA) If I ask nicely. 😉🍻

This looks a good one but to be honest I love making them all. Going to try freeze the blended onion and onion water and see is a short cut for another day.

Looks amazing again Al

Try Innis and Gunn Rum Cask Al if you haven't already. If you like treacle...this is for you! 6.8pc too so go easy! Love the vids man.

Hi all,so onions feature three times in this,the puree,the browned off onion then the charred petal onions,but where would you put,and when,the service onions if you have any,I love a dopiaza,but I normally put the thin sliced in toward the end and I use fine dice for the start,lovely,but yours look nicer especially with the onion puree to make the base,cheers John,have a great Christmas.

Didn’t see you add the garlic and ginger paste in the video Al even though it’s included in the ingredients list written below the video. I suppose you add it just before the dried spices, would that be correct? I’ve enjoyed a few of your curry’s, keep up the good work Al.

Still waiting for you to do a 30 minute Vindaloo

Al,Can you dish up a chicken Jaipuri? Very popular in Glasgow. I've looked everywhere on the internet for this dish to no avail,

Gonna make this tomorrow night, I’ll let you know the outcome!

I ordered spices and quickly delivered great quality. It will get sorted

Hey Al, have you thought of roasting the whole onions like 'the backyard chef' does with a small sprinkling of garam. it gives them a lovely sweet flavour before you give the a whizz!

@AlsKitchen

7 ай бұрын

Yes I have. Great idea. I know the backyard chef (Rik)

Quick question #1: unless I missed it, didn't hear/see when you would add the "optional extras" Quick question #2: did you also use olive oil for the two lots of additional onions? Look forward to trying this coming week. Thanks Al!

@AlsKitchen

7 ай бұрын

Add the optionals anytime you like really. i would add them at the 2nd stage. Olive for chicken, a touch of veg to char.

Looks amazing - for anyone cooking at home, unless you catch the onions and burn them, please use the same pan / pot to do your curry in and don't waste all that extra flavour!

Fab, trying that, gonna whack a few green chillies over the top at the end

Cooking this tomorrow.....let me at that kitchen

Hi Al i followed you from the early days keep up the good work. Nice to see you are now making the channel work for you. Maybe use Alexa as a timer. just a tip for you 🤣

Use ghee or avocado oil mate plus any curry with coconut milk you can use virgin coconut oil which enhances the taste. Dietary cholesterol from the likes of ghee does not affect blood lipid levels (American Heart Association restrictions on dietary fat consumption have been removed). Like you said, seed oils are highly inflammatory due to processing and high omega 6. Does the olive oil affect the final taste of the curry?

@AlsKitchen

7 ай бұрын

Doesn't affect the taste of the curry. I use olive oil mostly now

How much better would it taste with Garlic/Ginger?

Yes😍😍😍✌

Looks a good un' and now I see why you used so many onions.

Hi al where do you buy your spices

Another great curry, thanks Al, hope you and the family have a great Christmas and New Year. P.S Took a trip to Birmingham last weekend and had a great Balti at Shababs 👍 thanks again for all your recipes and work you put in to them all.

Any chance of a 30 min chicken vindaloo Great Currys by the way

This looks fantastic. Dopiaza is my go-to curry. However, I do like it hotter. How much chilli powder would I need to bring it up to a Madras heat?

@AlsKitchen

7 ай бұрын

Depends how hot the chilli powder is. They come in different strengths.

On the menu for tomorrow just waiting for the lorry to arrive with the onions 😅

Can you do a chicken family vindaloo please X

Will someone explain what the Basamic powder is or how I get my iPad to show the list of ingredients. I’ve managed to buy the few ingredients that aren’t in my cupboard but Al’s powder is giving me a problem. Or will mild madras do? I’m worried it might make it too hot.

I think you have reached the summit of Mount Everest with Bir content. Mad respect! Great thing about your channel is the name, you can branch out into other cuisines. Can I recommend contacting Khoan Vong in Hull and you two do a collaboration. Beneficial to yourself and Khoan. and start a BCR British Chinese Restaurant cuisine.

Hi Al. I will try this one next time. I note you used vegitable oil for the pre fry of the onions. Was there a reason for this or was it just what you had to hand?

I'm on it right now Al...... Did onion prep earlier.......(My God. theirs a mountain of em BTW)

You mention 3 tbsp of garlic/ginger paste. Is this 3 each or 3 of either ?

Wow that looks amazing Xxx

Al, please tell me why you are not using the base gravy that we have used for many years with fantastic results. Reason why I’m asking is because I still have a freezer full!

Since the 30 minute recipes came out I have used very little base gravy except for Al’s Shababs style Balti recipe which is my favourite home made curry.

Did I miss the ginger and garlic paste going in? I’ve added it at the end of stage 1 like the other 30 min recipes

I made a Chicken Dopiaza once, and whilst my family agreed it tasted fab, I was forbidden from ever cooking it again as the house smelled of it for about 10 days!

Have the aprons sold out again? 😢

Turkey curry day after boxing day 👍

Looks great..but needs more onions !
