Hi, my name is Fogar and I'm a retired Chef although I still work in an advisory capacity to large Companies. Most of my working life has been spent in Top Indian Hotels and more recently privately in London. I have read many of your responses and while I understand the need for restaurant type food recipes, I think a lot of wonderful chances at creating superb food is going wanting. I feel the best help I can give is not in just giving out recipes but answering questions on certain topics thereby giving an insight on how to not only cook better but have a feel for spices and ingredients. I will lokk in a couple of times a week and if there is no specific questions I will write something about the posts I've read. Thank You and good Health. 

Hi and welcome to cr0 Fogar 

I am sure that your expertise and advice will be very much appreciated and welcomed here.

Would I be correct in thinking that you are/were, therefore, an Indian chef preparing traditional and authentic Indian cuisine?

Perhaps you could kick off by giving us some essential do's and dont's for successful Indian cooking?

Look forward to hearing more from you soon 

Regards,

Welcome fogar,

I am very much looking forward to hearing some of your chefs tips.
As i start i would be interested to know if you use a chefs spice mix to produce the majority of main dishes and if you do what is the recipe for this spice mix?

Welcome aboard.
