Well...... not only are we all searching for "the taste" and "the smell" now it would apear we are in search of the rare "Knorr Vegetable Bouillon catering paste" good luck everyone. 

I actually started off with this book as my first venture into the world of curry making. I never did find any of the recipes came close to "the taste" or "the smell" infact they were as far from a BIR that I have came across. I think the recipes are to busy with to many tastes and your palate just gets a bit lost with all the different flavours. It is probably more like authentic indian recipes than anything else. If you are searching for "the taste" im afraid this book isnt the one for you. There are some great recipes which come within inches of the taste on this forum. This is all just my humble opinion. I would be interested to know if anyone else has tried it and what your thoughts on it were.

Where can I buy this stuff from. I am not in the catering buisness, is there an online store that sells and delivers this stuff cos I am keen to try Andys new Base/gravy and also chilliprawns UCB.

Hi I had a great experience with my first BIR. a combination of Laynes chicken tikka with an excellent recipe for chasni sauce which is now on the forum. My next favourite curry is south indian garlic chilli. Would any of you kind curry experts be able to help me out with a recipe for this. Whoever created this forum should be hailed and saluted eternally. It is awesome!!! I still cant believe I managed to find it

Cheers

Will ;D

Hi nairB I havent actually ever tried any of the BIRs in the glasgow area. Is there any you would strongly recomend??I have a great one down here which you must visit if you are in Ayr, its called the rupee room. I know the manager pretty well so he said I could come in a chat to the head chef about recipes.

Yeah I did think it was too simple an option. I guess I will just have to throw out the washing machine and replace it with a tandoor lol.

I am thinking about buying a clay tandoori pot to do my chicken tikka in the oven has anyone had any results with these? here is the link to the pot so you can see.
