Hi CA - MisterSauce here,

I have to say that your Chicken Vindaloo picture sums up for me what this site is all about.
It reminds me of the good old days (the 70's), when we could knock on a restaurant door at 2am (worse for wear) and be served up with that glorious image of an impossibly hot-looking, oily vindie that hit the spot like nothing else!

Must admit, being a fairly new member, I've only discovered your posts recently, so haven't tried your base or main dishes as yet.

Rest assured, I will be doing so very soon, your vindaloo especially (jalfrezi looks great too) - although I'm tempted to increase the amount of chilli powder to a nice rounded tablespoon! I'm even tempted to use your vindie image as my screensaver (with your permission of course?)!

Splended images CA !

I am definitely going to try this but one question i have is about the tandoori masala recipe , is there a substitute for dried mint leaves , not sure i can get hold of them here .
Sorry if this is a stupid question , i'm a newbie on here .

I now feel a right dimwit , went in to woolies and there was dried mint leaves (derr)
Looking forward to doing some cooking at weekend , making up your spice mix and spiced oil , curry base , and then tackling  your vindaloo recipe .
Appreciate your feedback , CA .
As the aussies say , good on yer !

The Best curry i've made by a long shot .
Have taken photos (will upload soon), really made my day to get it right .
Thanks mate !

Had a few dramas uploading sorry it's been so long !
