				Traditional style madras with no base gravy, definitely more flavoursome with more individual tastes and really packed a good chilli hit, but I think I still prefer a base gravy madras for a more rounded overall taste. That said I'll be making this one again for sure.

Curry is able to be created in more ways than one.

				You quoted his post Phil. How odd
- 
				Perhaps not Phil. I recall this morning when I made my post I had the message that another post had been made and asking me to review my post. I usually ignore it but this morning it went a bit odd and I needed to refresh my Page. Perhaps you did try to quote me but the system has malfunctioned somehow.
