well, they do have indian restaurants here but they are no where near to where I live, sadly.  I think a basic meat dish with boiled rice is about 18 euros, add side dishes and naan bread and of course a beer and it's pretty expensive, nothing like back home.

I think I need alot more practice before I can cook well enough to open a restaurant LOL  ;D

brilliant, cheers 

Hi, thanks for the welcome.
I made a base sauce yesterday, I can't remember which base recipe I used, sorry guys. I'll make sure I write down which recipes I've tried in future and let you know how I got on.
I made a chicken buna and pilau rice with naan bread and it was really nice.

I'm looking for a sag aloo recipe? anyone?  ;D

I can't find some of the spices where I live in the Netherlands. Does anybody know which are the best brands of spices to use? also if anyone uses an online shop to order their spices from?

Thanks

I'm new to the forum and living in the Netherlands we have no indian restaurants locally.  I'm looking forward to trying out some of the recipes. What an excellent site!

I used this recipe yesterday and they were tasty.  Initially I made the first one too thick, but by rolling the dough thinner they bubbled and were much better.
