hope this helps
regards

Post by: tonymexico on July 11, 2008, 02:27 AM: I tried the natco recipes some time ago, what a pile of s**t. If natco are claiming that this is the authentic bir taste and smell then they must have the worst curry house in Britain nearby. The red onion is slightly sweeter than white but overides the balance of any of the dishes you make with the base and a more balanced taste can be achieved with the addition of sugar at the end of the cooking process(something many curry houses sneak in but keep quiet about). As pointed out by parker 21 the onion paste is a complete waste of time, you may as well put a bar of soap in as it would probably add more to the flavour than the rancid taste it imparts. All in all if anyone tries these recipes, be warned, you are just chucking away valuable ingredients.
