Hi, im Peter and as a Brummie now living in the Scottish Borders im on that age old Brummie search for a return to the ladypool rd:-).
Ive been trying for about 10 years now to find that authentic curryhouse flavour i miss so much.
Ahhh friday night, a skin full of bitter and a nice greasy King prawn balti madras and a naan bread .........sigh. the good old days.
Anyways gf forces sale and all that i moved oop north, left behind the lads:( and the proper taste of a decent curry.
Ive been trying to make my own. done quite well but there's still that, just that special, something missing, im sure you know what i mean.
Ive been on the "secret missing ingredient" tour, its the onions, its the way you cook em, its the ghee, oil, about to start on the mustard oil to try and find the right fix lol.

Anyway ill be knocking around the forums and trying out some recipes, probably asking stupid questions along the way so thought id say hello.

Welcome to cr0 peterandjen, hope you find what you're looking for here 

Peter,

fellow brummie welcome. i'm actually from the west mids so not exactly. my good lady keeps on about same - only going south myself - too cold north. i do like west cumbria though.

banks's beer or the other stuff.

best wishes from warrington

Hi peterandjen,  Blue nose or Villian? Doesn't really mater to me not much into footie, but I work in Brum and live just outside. Oh, welcome to CR0 by the way. Theres no such thing as a stupid question here, just a big friendly bunch of folks eager to help, so ask away. Enjoy your stay...

And Blue nose though i dont follow it much either, although the Scum just beat blackburn 6-4 
Yeah its bloody cold up here but its just another good reason for a hot curry lol
