I have noticed that the way you guys make the meals is nothing like we used to do in the restaurant where i worked.
1, You use more ingredients and find more flavours
2, You work at it getting it right and strive for perfection.
3, You are your own food critics.
4, You will allways try another recipe.
5, You help others trying to find that little something that's missing.
It seems that all of you could cook in restaurants i have seen the posts seen pictures of meals and let me tell you if i was served that i would be content.
All we did was heat the ghee put in which ever was in the meal i,e peppers,onions,chillies,etc put in the base sauce add the salt and cooked meats or fish add the spices add evaporated milk if cooking ctm or korma etc reduce the sauce to thicken add coriander and serve.every thing from 1 base sauce it sold well and i even sold frozen Curry's to local bars out there to make a few drachmas (forgot how to spell now are euros)And i would say the meals were no where near the quality of any of the ones on here.
If i was younger or my daughter had left school i would have a go at running and cooking in my own restaurant abroad there is to much competition over here we where lucky if you wanted a Indian on Corfu you made it yourself or you came to my bosses restaurant there was nowhere else on the island.
What I'm trying to say is that i think you all have the same take that i do. my meals just not seem right when all say its great and better than this one or better than that takeaway but i prefer the local takeaway or restaurant no matter how you cook you can never put across that same feeling that sitting in a restaurant gives you.Look sound and smell that's halfway to making the sell if its pleasing to 1 or all 3 of these you half way there.
I will be trying some of these recipes as i have said before they all look great.
great site thanks Andy
