Plainly not doing this correctly but thanks to you too PeterandJen. Good advice and certainly worth considering but as above this is a commercial venture and conflicts with my local indian although i guess i could go to another town. Urrm.

I am in need of help. I need to understand curry pastes, what makes the difference in various curries, what the ingredients and quantities of various curries are and general advice. I live in Colchester and can afford to pay a good indian cook (low hundreds I am hoping) to instruct me. I may well have some knowck on work for the person as well. Can anyone help?
