Arr well, nevermind

All joking aside, it's good to see that you don't mind taking advice from a Manky Manc ;D

Well done Louise,

Ray ;D

Ah, I don't mind Mac's really, but just don't ask me that on Derby Day  ;D

No I don't mind questions at all  , he's not an Aussie, he's a Pom like me! He's orginally from Cheltenham and I'm from ahem... Liverpool  ;D

Crikey, he had all the pupils from Cheltenham Ladies College to choose from, and he picked a Liverpool lass instead -- you must be some stunner !

** Phil.

I am taking that as a compliment and I'm running it with it

Hi Louise,
He sounds like a GREAT guy, is he also tall, dark and handsome? :

Well done, really glad that it has worked out well.  So, you originate from the UK? whereabouts if you don't mind me asking?  Is your hubby from the UK too.  If he is an Australian, I'd be really interested to know of his reaction to your dish.

Great first effort Louise, you're well on you way to curry nirvana, just watch the waistline though ;D
Ray

No I don't mind questions at all  , he's not an Aussie, he's a Pom like me! He's orginally from Cheltenham and I'm from ahem... Liverpool  ;D The Australians just don't get BIR. The curries we've had here are absolutely awful. I'd all but given up on Indian food  until I started cooking them myself. We're going  back to the UK next year for a wedding, The waist line will take a battering then for sure!!

And probably the best curry you've tasted in over three years no doubt ;D ;D ;D.  Glad your first outing was a sucess, not that there was any doubt when using recipes from this forum .   Will be good to hear how your madras goes.  A pic or two is always appreciated :

Yes it was the best one in 3 years, not  best I've ever had sadly but I'm working on it!

I did take a few pics so will upload them soon. Will hopefully try the madras one this weekend  ;D

Well I did it! I made the Taz Base Mix, Joshallen's Madras recipe and used Razor's 
It was bang on! Really really enjoyed, best curry I've ever made  ;D

I've made gallons of base mix so am keen to try out and few different recipes with it, might go for a madras next time. Thanks for all the hints and tips guys, very much appreciated.

Thanks for the welcomes guys!

I will be sure to post how I got on, I feel like I've been cooking for hours! But I suppose once I've got the base sauce down pat it will make the process so much easier.

Loving the site and Razor your posts and pictures are very very helpful so thank you. Also my husband's nickname is Razor and he's a Man Utd fan too... weird!  ;D

And with the precooked chicken, raw is fine for me but the husband is very picky with chicken and finds using raw chicken bland so I often pre cook or marinade over night. Am using the recipe you gave the link to Razor. Hope it's good, will be tucking into it in about an hour... it is Saturday night in Australia after all 

Hi everyone, I've been reading this forum for the past day or two and I'm very excited to be trying a couple of the recipes tonight.

I live in Australia (originally from UK) and haven't had a decent curry in 3 years They just don't "get it" here.

Will be trying the Taz Base mix along with a Jalfrezi recipe. Struggling to find a recipe for the pre cooked chicken so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Thanks Louise
