These two have given me a few good recipes, the first more southern based but both worth a look:

I have been nagging my mate to give up his momma's special recepie but his mind isn't what it used to be due to MS. I do go to a few family do's so will speak to her directly next time i see her! Have looked at a number of Punjabi websites but unlike this site they use indian terms for all the spices, not difficult if you have acess to an exotic supermarket i guess.

Will keep you posted on how I get on, naturally I will share any gems she gives me.   ;D

The main reason for coming here is, I was sick of cooking bland curries that people advised on the rest of the web. Also I want to cook like my mates mum, she is Indian (Punjab region) and her food looks and tastes very different to typical restaurant food. loads more flavour & lighter than the restaurant stuff. I'm really looking for slow cooking curries, as she seems to cook hers for hours to get that taste...There are tons of recipes on here but looking for a hot lamb dish that slow cooks for 3-4 hours, the reason I want to cook it over this time is because I want to get the most out of the herbs and spices. I just want to get to the stage where I have a number of frozen paste bases that I can call upon so that on an evening, i'm not cooking until the early hours.

Any good place to start?  ;D
