Hi folks,

As SnS says, this has got to be the best BIR site out there. I've been cooking since I was in single digits, my favorite programme as a kid was Madhur Jaffrey's show and I have always loved BIR curries, but never been able to cook them successfully at home. Most recipes you just look at on the internets and say to yourself, "that's not going to taste right," or, "who put's carrot sticks in a chicken korma?"

Anyway, a couple of years ago I emigrated to America, where there is no good indian food so I've had the BIR jones for nearly 3 years. Thanks to you, i can now do it myself at home! Yesterday I did a wildly successful chicken korma and pilau rice and can't wait to get going on more.

Thanks again.

Steve.

P.S. Has there ever been a poll on the accepted spelling of "poppadom?"

Not that I'm aware of, but I dare you to confront SnS about chilli. Or is it Chillie... ;D

had to laugh when I read that   ;D

The problem is that all the 'indian' spellings are transliterated from the original hindi or urdu, so there are many variations with no particular one being absolutely correct. For me it's poppadom.
