Dear all,
Not much different to what is already out here - but first time I've seen it on the TV.

Highly Recommended British Indian Restaurants / The Balti Wallah, Cardiff
October 02, 2009, 04:08 PM
Dear All,
My first trip back to the UK in a few years, and dropped in on a few mates in Cardiff. We went to The Balti Wallah, 72 Cowbridge Road, Canton.
In a word, stunning! The food was fantastic, and the staff were brilliant, very friendly, and more importantly for me, very helpful when discussing BIR cooking. The manager and chef wrote down a recipe for a base gravy, (which when I confirm details I'll post).
Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: anyone getting this flavor issue
April 16, 2009, 02:37 PM
Hello Derek,
I must admit that getting a 'basey' tasting curry is my main problem. I follow recipes to the letter, but my final dish is a more strongly spiced base, try as I might I can't shift that base overtone.
I've tried a number of bases, but always the same result. I've dropped down from the 250-300ml of base per dish, to a few chefs spoons and water to make up the volume.
I must temper this comment by saying living in sydney I can't get Rajah (which seems to be the most recommended), so that might be one issue for me.

Hello SnS,
I get all my seeds (and growing advice) from Neil Smith,
http://thehippyseedcompany.com/
he's based in australia, but ships internationally.
He'll either have them, or know where to get them.
Have a look at the YouTube tests - insane.

We've been down this road but perhaps we all throw in ?100 each and find a Takeaway that is willing to open its doors and be filmed.

I'm in for 100!

Curry Web Links / Re: A CTM link

G'Day Jerry,
Sorry, never come across a brown version myself, even down here the CTM's are the red colour (albeit with large chunks of scorched peppers and onions).

Trainee Chefs / Beginners Questions / Re: What is tomato puree?
June 17, 2008, 12:17 PM
G'day,
Just a quick word, we use a refined tomato paste in my lab for growing bacterial cultures. It's a fantastic medium, but I haven't had the courage to keep any opened 'cooking' paste in the fridge for more than a week since.
