deathrey Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 @Keith HouchenI concur. Potatoes have never tasted better than cooked in an air fryer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted November 28, 2022 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 28, 2022 I hope you didn’t chop them. But yeah, thanks to this place I got an air fryer last year and bloody hell, it’s a game-changer. Rosemary roasties, parmesan & chorizo chicken and crispy chickpeas are the ones.

I woke up thinking about the roast potatoes I made last night. Talking of game-changers, which recipe do you use for base gravy? Want to try it out, but there are lots of different ones on Youtube, it seems. Al's Kitchen's one seems pretty good, but so does Latifs Inspired, Get Curried, Hebbar's Kitchen, and Abdul Salam's Curry Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one I used but it’s adaptable. https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/curry-base-gravy-sauce/ My girlfriend can’t cook because of her ASD sensory issues so this is a great collaborative effort. She does the chopping and the spice mix and I handle the hob. It’s a personal thing but for us it’s one of the few times we can cook together. So when we have a curry it isn’t just the flavour we appreciate. We know we made it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love cooking, and it's very satisfying when it all comes together. Right now, I'm loving making that Cajun jambalaya and gumbo that I've posted videos too - they don't just taste great, there's a lot of attention and care that goes into them.

Kitchen Sanctuary - Nicky - released a book earlier this year. It's a cracker. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09TR6XDL6/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 available at non-Bezos places too.

I have a massive vat of base gravy on the cooker right now actually. About to make my second curry out of it tonight before freezing the rest.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 28, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Bit of a stretch for a thread about cooking but if we're taking air fryers they are great for heating up mince pies (with or without meat). I'm on a steady diet of one an evening atm, and will be until mid Jan. Edited November 28, 2022 by Chest Rockwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted November 29, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 29, 2022 Can’t remember a day in the last 15 years that I’ve not used my airfryer.  Finally got my mum to get one.  She’s cooking full meals within 3 days of opening the thing.

wordsfromlee Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Buying an extra portion of chippy chips to reheat in the airfryer the next day for chip butties is essential in our house now. Absolutely phenomenal stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted December 2, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) OK. The below channel is brilliant, and I'm definitely going to try out the recipe for keema - it's not too dissimilar to Mauritian spiced mince, but has a few extra layers to the cooking that I'm really intrigued by. HOWEVER! The thing that really grabbed my attention are those paratha he has it with at the end. You can just hear how lightly crispy they are. I would love to know how to get them that crispy (well, the Mauritian version called farata). Anyone got any tips?
