Just dropped my first clanger I think ..on an ingredient buying trip in a local Asian shop,I bought a bottle of KTC coconut oil (it seemed a good idea at the time).
But on searching this forum,I can't find any reference to it have I dropped a boo boo ? or does it have it's uses ?

As my username may suggest,yet another boinging yam yam ;D promotion to the greed league next week,followed by our usual relegation next May : never mind,at least it's never boring ;D

Thanks for the coriander tip,as you say,it's obvious once you know...lateral thinking has never been one of my good points ;D

Only recently joined the forum,and after lots of reading,I decided to make my debut using SnS's base and Madras recipies,as it appeared a tad more idiot proof than some of the others ;D
I misread the ingredients list,and therefore started with only one carrot,and considerably less than 20 grams of coriander stalks...I used the stems of an entire bundle of coriander,but even they barely moved the scales
However,I followed the instructions dutifully,and to my immense surprise,it turned out really well.I reckon for looks,aroma and taste I would give it 8 out of 10 compared to the real thing.
I'm looking forward now to a bit more fact finding on these forums and a few tweaks to produce even better curries.I've been ordered by the missus to produce a Korma by this evening ...she wouldn't eat the madras,but she was impressed by the smell
So thanks to SnS for your recipies,off now to find something a bit milder

Just saying hello ...I dabbled with making 'proper' curries many years ago,although I achieved decent texture and appearance,I could never manage to achieve the taste that I was looking for,and so gave up :
I've decided to give it another try,as the chilled curries I currently buy from Asda,whilst not too bad taste wise,are IMO exorbitantly priced.
So here's to more nagging from 'the wife' who hates the smell of garlic ;D ;D ;D
