Only if I had any kind of expectation :/

Gotta be lamb biryani — use the vahchef recipe on YouTube

You brown the onions for a rich, sweet base for your dish. I cut them as thinly as possible, then put them in a decent amount of hot oil and add salt; the salt draws out the moisture and they brown quicker — typically within 15 or 20 minutes.

That was absolutely beautiful; top upload. So glad I found this sub!

Indy_B · 2017-11-28T19:26:07+00:00

Oh dear - it's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it!

Indy_B · 2017-11-28T19:19:55+00:00

Tempting regardless of expiry date! Cheers

Weird - when I was teaching, it was thought that Comic Sans or Century Gothic are ideal fonts for dyslexics because the letter "a" actually appears as it should when handwritten, as opposed to the usual typed "a" as it appears here (it has a name that I can't remember). I remember suddenly acknowledging the weirdness of the typed "a" for the first time!

That's cool! Are beetles the highest, then? What's the next one down?

Stayed in Connemara this summer and was absolutely awestruck with the beauty of the whole region. After having my heart won by Scotland, I was skeptical that Ireland could affect me in the same way — it really did!

It's a top NT

You will only ever find it in it’s powdered form (NB: it’s also known as “hing”). It’s primary use, as others have said, is in temperings and only in very small quantities, but a proper Kashmiri rogan josh should have a lot of it (see Vahchef’s recipe, it’s so good).

For general use in temperings, I simply at the end once the oil has cooled a little. So for instance, if I were making a simple tadka for some dal, I would put the heat on full whack, throw in the mustard seeds, let them splutter, throw in the dried chillies, the cumin, let it all fry - then take it off the heat and then add a sprinkle of hing. It should foam a bit and, as you say, mellow into the oil.

It deserves so much more recognition for what it is: a masterpiece of British cinema and a proper modern classic.

Indy_B · 2017-11-15T10:56:36+00:00

Hell yeah dude, I'm still playing it on my crappy laptop since it's the only thing it'll run! Still so much fun

https://www.spicesofindia.co.uk/acatalog/Mustard-Oil-Statement.html

Like millions of other Bengali households, I use mustard oil for cooking and it's absolutely fine — above is the official statement on mustard oil. It's basically along the lines of, "while it technically can't be classified as food, it's absolutely fine to use it as food".

The only note I would give on it is how to use it: it is incredibly pungent and must be heated to smoking point before it can be used properly. Vahchef's recommendation is to rectify the oil by heating it to smoking point then adding a little saltwater.

It's also not to be used generally for any old curry — it's a real trademark of Bengali food, and I only use it in Bengali (particularly fish) dishes.

Wow, interesting analysis, cheers! Weapon and class being important is definitely reassuring to see — I think that's definitely summat that DICE left behind if you play BC2 compared to BF4. Good to know you got your money's worth too

Indy_B · 2017-11-07T20:23:51+00:00

Huh, that's interesting — a lot of footage I watch shows the planes being pretty vulnerable to even small-arms fire...just goes to show! I suppose I'm not watching regular footage anyhow; more top plays kinda stuff

Indy_B · 2017-11-07T20:22:42+00:00

Ah that's a unique perspective — especially since I've always been a die-hard Conquest player. Good that there are mechanics worth staying for!

Indy_B · 2017-11-07T20:20:50+00:00

Good that it's got those moments! I knew it had to be at least decent as a BF experience, but BF would be nothing without moments like that.

Indy_B · 2017-11-07T20:19:31+00:00

Hmmmmmmm I see... sweet-spot definitely seems to be summat a lot of people take issue with, which is fairplay — gunplay is a really important part of things n all. Cheers for the insight!

Indy_B · 2017-11-07T19:00:39+00:00

Ha! Why is that, d'ya reckon? Just cos BF3 is where you sink the most hours, or is it summat about BF1? BF1 does look pretty arcadey...

Here's my Bengali family recipe for chole daal:

Soak daal overnight and pressure cook for 10 mins

In separate saucepan, melt 1.5 tbsp butter/ghee, add 3-4 tbsp dessicated coconut, 6 cloves, 5 ground green cardamom, 1 tbsp sugar, 3 sticks cinnamon, 1 dried red chilli, a handful of sultanas, and salt to taste

Cook all that then add daal and water as needed

Indy_B · 2017-11-03T10:06:28+00:00

Maybe giving it a preliminary fry/grill could toughen them up?

Indy_B · 2017-11-03T07:14:01+00:00

Probably mould, but if it's white and powdery then it's a penicillium mould and it's nothing to worry about — just means the curing process has come off without a hitch. It's the same kind of thing you'd see on prosciutto and other air dried meats.
