Could be, could be? ;D
However I would counter that I know a lot about the spice that I use, I just don't know the exact proportions. But again and as I've said before. There is some sort of clammy feel about Indian cooking that is not present in any other form of culinary expertise.

I won't fiddle diddle here since it might seem everyone is happy? I'm searching for that one TASTE.

Bot maybe but bots collect info.  ;)

I wonder if Mikka is one of those board spamming bots.

Maybe its the new software version that insert random relevant keywords, like "vindaloo", "missing ingredient", and "sagwalla"

I hardly ever taste vinegar in my Vindaloo yet all recipes have it.

That's because it only belongs in 'authentic' vindaloo mikka. Anyone who's using it in BIR recipes needs a good kick up the arse! And don't get me started on using lemon juice.   >:(

hi ss when was the last time you saw a vindaloo cooked in a kitchen? i have been in to  many and seen the sauces cooked and 3 chefs used clear vinegar and 1 has used lemon dressing. so what you are saying is from the restaurants/takeaways you have visited and and ahd demos in otherwise you would not be ranting on mate?
regards
gary ;D

I have to say most places use lemon juice in the Madras now and I dislike it. I don't often get vindaloos though so I can't comment on that!

Perhaps I am out of line?

Anyway I don't think we all brush our hair the same way right? We might even like a little more sugar in our tea than the next person, we might even drink coffee instead of tea?  :o

What I am trying to say is that everyone is different. I don't as it happens put discrepancies in taste and in different parts of the UK down to cultural or regional differences either. That's poppycock its down to the bloke who cooks the dinner, his spice, his knowledge, his capability.

I've been in Indian kitchens too. Not all do the same thing. Not at least over here.
At the end of the day and unless you get 10 people side by side with the exact same dish from different places will all arguments be settled on this. Until that time, these are just words and mean nothing but to the person who has just cooked a meal.

A carefully measured  recipe which is then tried by ten people and allowing for skills of various people however is a different matter.

Lemons, Limes, Lemmings?  ;D

Heck what do I know anyway, I'm mortal and fail too. (sometimes)  ;)
