Surely at these kind of places the base sauce is already made and you just use that?

Hi all, These "cook your own curry lessons" sound great but are they going to let you stand there with pen and paper writing the ingredients down? Judging by the picture on website, it doesn't look as if the kitchen is very big, hence, if a group of us go they might get the knock with us with our pens and notepads! What do you think? I'm certainly up for it, how about others?

I really don't think anyone with any experience of cooking curries needs to go to one of these. You can learn all you need to from written instructions, since the actual cooking techniques are not difficult.
Would be a lot of fun, though.

You could look at booking this Indian cookery demonstration in a West End Restaurant.

tempest63,
That looks ok but the menu seems to be food i have never heard of apart from the Pork Vindaloo.
My mission in life is to see a Prawn Madras being cooked and having a go.
Wouldn't mind seeing the Prawn Puree :P that you can get as a starter cooked as well, if you have not tried that check it out next time you order a takeaway.

I can tell you for a fact that the food in both the La Porte Des Indes and the Blue Elephant is first class, these restaurants are among the best in London.

I fully agree. It stands head and shoulders above Veeraswamy, Chutney Mary and a few of the other "best end" restaurants.

Method for Prawn Puri:- Put atta flour into a bowl with ghee, salt. Rub ghee into atta flour until it ressembles fine breadcrumbs. Take 1oz of the prawns and chop finely and add to the atta and ghee mixture. Mix with enough water to make a dough (not too wet!) Knead dough for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover dough and let stand. While dough is resting you can make the puree topping. Fry garlic and mustard seeds in oil until garlic begins to soften. Add remaining prawns, tomato puree and all the spices and cook on for a further 2 to 3 minutes on a medium heat. PUREES Knead the dough for a couple of minutes and then divide into 6 - 8 equal pieces. Roll out into 3 to 4 inch rounds. Deep fry puri, one at a time, for roughly one minute. turning over once during the process. You will find that the puri will puff out! Serve with prawns on top sprinkleld with freshly chopped coriander and a wedge of lemon.
Fresh chillies can be added finely chopped if required at the beginning of making the topping.

Pat chapmans New Curry Bible has an excellent recipe for Prawn puree, its as good as my local. Only downside is you need to get hold of prawn ballichow, not something your local Tesco's is going to stock!
