Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Who's made their own pizza base? I've tried 3 times now and end up binning it for various reasons. The last time I binned it because it kept breaking up when trying to kneed it. Anyone recommend a youtube or recipie to follow?

Tooj 17 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Basically Wykiki if you use 00 flour you can't go wrong. Any other type won't work how it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 19874 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I was using strong flour. First time I tried I dont think I let it prove long enough. I tried getting it in a pizza base shape and it kept shrinking and I couldnt stretch it enough. So next time I tried another recipie and that was a different one and they're my issues.I'll try Olivers this weekend.Cheers chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21804 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Definitely try and get a pizza stone. Makes a massive difference to the quality as you only have to cook it for about 6 minutes in a hot oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to remind me though as I'm likely to forget. It's actually a slimming world one. Also it's just for the sauce so you can basically add anything you want. The only thing I added that wasn't in the recipe was a pinch of sugar and I used the same amount of Cayenne where it specified chilli powder as I like it quite hot. It's a curry after all. You make a paste at the beginning from a bit of water, onion, garlic and ground ginger in the food processor. You could add some oil at this point but it really doesn't need it I found.

The Fish 10695 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Will do. Trying to branch out a bit as I tend to get stuck in a loop of making the same shit over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good thing about it is you can upscale it easily and it's freezable so it's a bit of a faff but then you've 3 or 4 meals out of an hour or so's cooking and prep. Going to try some of their other recipes too. I did the Rogan Josh and it was nice too but I'm going to cut back on the cinnamon next time as it was a bit too much and overpowered the dish a bit. I've been trying to cook stuff from scratch more lately as with having the kids and their being quite young it's easy to get into the habit of eating stuff out of jars etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34810 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Also recently made my own dry chilli mix based on a few I'd seen on the internet which I tweaked a bit, as there's loads of crap in the packets you buy in the supermarket. Also doubles up nicely as a paste for fajitas and stuff like that if you add a bit of water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34810 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The recipe's are for four portions anyway but I thought it was a bit tight and doubled the quantities but reckon that equates to about 6 portions rather than the 8 they claim. But anyway, the flavours are fucking spot on. The obvious missing ingredient to a restaurant / take away curry is the ghee but, while you obviously could make it with that, it's a bit too rich for every day stuff I reckon and you dont need it. It's obviously a canny bit healthier without it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had dealt with 'optics' without the need for clean kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15379 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 This remains the ultimate scaler-upper: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/tarkadal_90055 I could cope with having a freezer just full of that and rotis/parathas. Big risk of a Stevie special if you adopt a lentil-only diet though, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15379 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 In that vein, made this tonight, fairly straightforward (preemptively cut out the vegetable stock though, it'd have been swimming in liquid otherwise, a splash of water to loosen up the spices was enough). Brown basmati rice, lime pickle, onion parathas from the freezer aisle at Asda, Bob's your uncle or aunt depending on how they choose to identify. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
