I would recommend mutton with plenty of fat and bones mixed in from the local asian superstore if you can get it. Cook it in the pressure cooker at medium pressure for about 20 minutes, then leave it to cool down. It's what a lot of the Asians use and if it's cooked until it's tender you can't tell the difference between lamb & mutton.

I think that (regarding the "Dine with me" proposal) that there is another problem, and that is that some of us may feel intimidated by the sheer professionalism of some of our peers.  If I were to offer a "Come dine with me" experience chez Taylor, then I might manage (at best) an onion bhaji starter, a Madras chicken with pulao rice and one vegetable dish (mushroom or potato), a Mango lassi to wash it down with, and that would be about it.....

Sounds like a great offering Phil. When we did this in the past the rules were clear. 1 starter, 1 main and 1 desert and everything should cost under a certain amount, say

I think we are actually achieving our goal but can't appreciate it
You could chase this forever but never arrive

I would guess that you have already got exactly what you want Jerry, but don't know it

I bet I would think your curries are fantastic Jerry
I would like some of us perfectionists to get together for a curry reality check
I can't see any other way forward

I think that you have hit the nail on the head haldi.
If you are passionate about your curries (like lots of people on this site) and spend years perfecting them you have probably already reached a point where you have perfected them.
You know when you've cracked it when you serve them to friends and they tell you that they taste as good as or even better than their takeaway/restaurant curry.

Even when you know that your curries are spot on you still keep searching for ways to perfect them because we are perfectionists.

Why not do a Curry Come Dine with Me in your local area with other curry lovers from the site?
You could foot the bill (including or not drinks) for a curry night at your place and invite 3 other curry loving couples around. The following weeks you go around to theirs and they do the same. You could then award each other points on their curries (we did this by sending them to an independent person) We did this when we lived in Spain and it was a great way to meet up, swap recipes, etc. We even had a small trophy made up for the winner.
Anyone in the Leeds area and interested in doing a Curry Come Dine with Me?

I tried sieving mine years ago but found it too time consuming although the consistency was good. Over the years I have tried/burnt out many blenders juicers and I find a really good high rpm food blender (not a stick blender unless your doing small amounts) makes a really good base sauce.

Free! Wow that's fantastic, well jealous
