Hi all,
I'm new to cooking curries and want to cook a rogan josh I've found in a cook book. The problem I'm having is where do I get all I need? A blade of mace, cardamoms the rest I can get from my local supermarket. I hope someone can help me with this
Thanks Mandy.

Hi Mandy,

It sounds like your trying to cook a traditional style Rogan Josh, ie; no base sauce?

Here is a link to a more British Indian Restaurant (BIR) style.

But if it is the more traditional style that your looking for, then most asian stores will have them.

Are you based in the UK Mandy?

Ray :)

As recommended by Axe, http://www.spicesofindia.co.uk/ (http://www.spicesofindia.co.uk/) is your best bet. I and many others use them and they always come highly recommended.

A blade of mace, cardamoms the rest I can get from my local supermarket.

If you mean an Asian supermarket then you should be fine, but I would steer clear of spices, etc., from the likes of Sainsburys and Tescos (unless they have an Asian section, of course).

Unclefrank/mandybabe,

good to know the west mids support is growing. i used to live in brierley hill.

on the jalfrezi my fav is admins http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,2664.0.html. (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,2664.0.html.)

on the mace i'd drop it off the list for a while - it's not a key BIR taste. the cardamom u'll get from asda.

up the baggies
