Title: Hi from curry addict and keen cook
Post by: Tequilan on August 15, 2011, 04:38 AM

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello :) joined a little while ago and just been nosing round the site, seeing what's what. Have to say I've already learned a lot!
Just been diagnosed with coeliacs disease so as Indian food is gluten free, what better excuse do I need to cook it more often????!!!
I've got a couple of my own adapted recipes including a nice dhansak but as of yet I've never used a base gravy/sauce in my curries-I will be trying my first one this weekend so I'll post up how I get on.
Certainly looks like an awesome forum, and everybody seems nice and pleasant and not obsessed with starting arguments with each other, for once! I look forward to getting to know some of u a bit better in time.
Regards Ben ;)

Hi Ben
Welcome to the curry community, I often retort, if I get any negative remarks about
my love of making curry and Indian food "What better way, to get your five a day"

Seriously, apart from wheat, what else do you have to avoid to maintain a healthy diet.
We may be able to help in your choices.

cheers Chewy

Hey thanks for the welcomes, chewy- it's just gluten I can't eat so basically anything with flour or wheat in it. Gram flour and corn flour are fine tho, hense Indian food being fine, altho I could murder someone for a decent gluten free recipe for naan/paratha/roti....

Welcome Ben and as chewy says, your five a day is on the cards. Mind you I'm Scottish and we regards a portion of chips as one of our five a day...

Cooked curry queens patia on Saturday, using natco base. Turned out very well, lovely consistency, taste and spice level were really good, there were a few things that I learned with it like I precooked the chicken kris dhillon style and refridgerated over night, in hindsight i would have rather put it in the curry straight after precooking, as it was much more tender and juicy straight after. But on the whole very nice indeed, so a success :)
