It is well worth it, loads of recipes (way more than kushi), it has recipes for the full indian menu

I thought David Smith was making a valiant personal attempt at 'cracking' all these recipes just like we are. But there's only one of him and dozens of us, unless he has access to a real BIR chef. Why should his recipes be so good?

EXAMPLE - I tried his base + chicken korma and it was lacklustre to say the least, whereas the MarkJ base + Ghanna Korma suggestions on this forum were 10 times better in terms of emulating a BIR chicken korma.

I just really like his book (at the end of the day Im happy to spend ~?10 on any book that is trying to emulate BIR recipes)

Also my current fave base is a variation of his

Hi Mark
         Believe me
The info you have posted on this site has been far more helpfull than David Smith.
What about the recent "used oil" posts?
And your old base into the new post, and your amazing full size curry gravy recipe?
Thanks
