Quote from: DalPuri on January 07, 2013, 02:51 PMI love the flavour of Bassar masala!It is a Pakistani curry powder and a Lot hotter than madras curry powder and probably more authentic than its British invented counterpart. I'm still on the lookout for the Mild version to try in my mixed powder. (the original being too hot for a lot of people)Quote from: DalPuri on April 12, 2012, 07:45 PMIf anyone is living in the midlands, then you're a lucky person.Looks like they deliver to a 30 odd mile radius around Worcester.The prices in this place are great!And a good range of products too.It was the mild bassar powder which led me to them. The intention was to replace the madras powder with mild bassar in my mixed powder.Unfortunately i'm just a bit too far for delivery. http://www.asianstoreuk.co.uk/shop/home.phpThis place is 1.3 miles from my house, just off the asian dominated area called Wylds Lane. Will take a look and report back when I get the time.

Sorry for the top post without judicious snipping, but I'm on iPhone and trying to edit quotes becomes a trial. Thank you for your mention of tofu. I picked some up today for my wife, who doesn't like the thought of eating animals but who isn't keen on veggies either (don't get me started!). So maybe tofu will go well in curries, but do you fry it like paneer, or just chop it up and throw in raw?What else is this stuff good for? Marinated on a tikka kebab?It was shit expensive, so needs to find its way into a few meals to get value from it. Quote from: prawnsalad on February 18, 2018, 01:34 AMIts interesting how we are in the middle of a "Vegan" trend. I stopped eating meat in 96 aged 25 as a new Vegetarian when Veganism was unattainable for all but the uber-hardcore few. These days I find it annoying how vegetarians are referred to as vegans when if fact most are really "selective eaters." (definition is somewhat different.) In 99 I went back to fish but not red meat or poultry and thats how it is today as although I absolutely loved meat I could not live with myself knowing how much cattle suffer on the way to the supermarket.What spurred me to write this post however was something I can wholeheartedly recommend..... TOFU!Having used supermarket brands as well as the well known "Cauldron" label I wrote it off until I received an education in Hong Kong, You have to look beyond domestic produce for this and go commercial or specialist in my opinion and then learn how to give it texture.I've given food to friends using tofu and they have asked what kind of meat it is.So I congratulate you on your choice and the many health benefits it brings, but be aware it is a trade off as athough you start to taste salad and veg properly for the first time (assuming you always ate meat) and will want like 99% less salt in your diet there are many flavours you will never replicate.Not trying to preach here just trying to helpGood luck!
