Thanks all.
I rather get all the spices from the same place and can easily put the Methi seeds in a pepper grinder I guess. Just the spices come to ?12 but they'll last a while.

So, just need a recipe to make use of the base sauce now.

Will search here for a Tikka Masala one I think. 

Hi all. I've always gone for the quick n easy option of buying a jar of Pataks or Sharwoods sauce but read on another general discussion forum that these jars are considered crap!

I then found a jar of Mumtaz Tikka sauce which came highly recommended as takeaway style tikka and it was very nice, but no longer available in Tescos. You can buy it online but they charge ?6.95 for delivery!

So I looked into home-made curries and found "Kitchen Guru" products that supplies all the spices needed and a recipe to follow. It was quite nice, but quite dry. I liked all the sauce you get with the jars to dip naan into 

So now I've found this great forum but I'm overwhelmed with all the recipes.

So basically, which base recipes would you recommend to a novice? I plan on getting the spices from natco-online and any other ingredients will have be avaialble from Tescos etc.

Any guidance would be appreciated
