No we don't all really talk like that, nor do we all own an oil well and ride horses. Now that I got that out of the way...
My name is Todd. My first serious foray into Indian curries was thru Julie Sahni's books. I used to travel in the UK frequently so had the opportunity to try many curry houses. Mostly in the London and Humberside area. I found a few that were noteworthy, but was underwhelmed by most of them. There is one stand out though. Tayyabs in Whitechappel. I absolutely love this place. Punjab Pakistani if I am correct. This is the taste I aspire for when I cook Indian/Paki. About a year ago I found a recipe from Tayyabs and used it to tweak my vindaloo recipe that I have been working on for the past several years (attached). I hope to learn a few tricks here and maybe even share something ya'll find worthwhile. (I do say "ya'll" alot).
Cheers,
Todd K.

Hello todd in Texas from Dundee, Scotland, a small city that once had more millionaires per square mile than anywhere else in the world - why? - because jute barons bought up lots of Texas oil fields - just thought I'd share that with you!

Cool beans Stephen. I made it up to Edinburgh on the Flying Scotsman a few times on bank holidays whenever I wanted to escape the hustle of the Big Smoke. Once I hired a car and set out through the Trossachs, Stirling, Doune Castle, Dukes Pass to find as many of the film shooting locations of Monty Python's Holy Grail as I could. I always ended my trip to Edinburgh at the top of the Royal Mile at the the Scotch Whiskey Heritage Museum bar. I would set ?15 on the bar and "play" it on drams like a blackjack player until I ran out. Then next door to the store..."I'll have a bottle of #357 please. That was a good one" Good times, good times! Having a taste of Ian Macleod's "As We Get It" right now to relive those memories.
Cheers

Hi Todd & welcome. I've never been to Texas but would love to one day - y'all seem to love your food there and I'm often seeing Texan recipes on YouTube & getting hungry. Maybe I'll get myself over to Austin one November to watch the F1 and find out how the local offerings compare to expectations.

Hi Todd,
I have a penpal in Corpus Christi ! I live in West Yorkshire near the Curry Mecca of Bradford ! I have always loved curries but since we have a new supersize Asian grocery store about 3 miles form where I live, I can get hold of all the major ingredients/spices. Therefore, my repetoire is getting very large ! I am so enjoying making proper curries from scratch, I would never buy a ready made sauce .
