Has anybody had a go at this one? Or maybe somebody could predict how it will turn out?

The use of mustard seed is interesting - any comments on that?
My impression is that TV curries have advanced a lot in the past few years (and I don't mean the frozen ones, though I supppose they have too!).

Fancied a 'trad' Indian the other day: did her version of Rogan Josh, I was just as dissapointed with the result as I was when I did Camellia Punjabi's (from 50 best Curries Of India) version of Rogan Josh too!
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I saw it demonstrated on the TV during her present series, and I was careful to follow the techniques she advised. I felt the spice balance was wrong, way to much cardomom flavour. Although I was impreseed by the smell of the fennel seed based masala. I think I may give BIR-style recipies containing kashmiri masala a go as a result...
I must say her recipe for Vindalo looks attractive, but after my Rogan Josh experience I'm not sure I'll bother.....

Haven't tried that one but I did have a go at a pork vindaloo from a trad curry book (can't remember which one) a few years ago which from memory looked similar to Ms Anands', suffice to say I've not repeated the experience, maybe it's not just for cultural/religious reasons that BIRs don't do pork, the taste was strange to say the least. If you want a go at a trad style vindaloo I think it would be a wise move to stick with lamb or chicken.
Hope this helps.
