JB, thanks

Recently I've been using Sainsbury's basmati, cheaper than Tilda and just as good (it could possibly be the same!) But for me,  a decent naan bread or chapatti's go much better with a curry

Never mind all that Ken, spill the beans about the h4ppychris visit

Yes Ken come on spill those beans 

... no beans involved MA    ... anyway you fellas are doing great on your own 

Interestingly I am reading '50 Great Curries of India' by Camellia Panjabi, she refers to the Kashmiri chillies we buy as 'so called Kashmiri chillies'. She explains;  '... when I tried to trace the origin of the Kashmiri chilli in the wholesale chilli markets in India, I found that Kashmir itself did not export the quantities of Kashmiri chillies being sold everywhere, and a similar variety was being cultivated in northern Karnataka, the region east of Goa, and in Andhra, and was widely sold all over India as Kashmiri chilli!'
Apparently the true Kashmiri chilli is not as long as the ones we buy, but I don't think there is any need for concern as I doubt if any of us could tell the difference in a taste test.
By the way, if you enjoy Indian home style cooking I would highly recommend this book.

Cheers,
Ken

Fantastic opportunity, hope it happens for you. Camellia Panjabi's '50 Great Curries Of India' is a classic; I'm very envious 

Cheers,
Ken

Looks promising Adey    I've made Madhur Jaffrey's pork vindaloo from the 'Curry Nation' TV series; it turned out pretty good.

Bengali Bob, yours look the dogs nads, very nice indeed 

Cheers,

Hi Jerry, how do you save YouTube videos onto your iPod?

use something like freemake video downloader to download them, and freemake video converter to convert to mp4 where necessary.  both are free.

I use Firefox with Download Helper installed, it's free. Really easy to use )

Cheers,
Ken

I reckon if you can't get a decent curry from this recipe then you ain't much of a cook. All the ingredients are here, why shouldn't you make it work? 

Cheers,
Ken

Red Herring tikka madras .... bring it on
