I have most of Pats books and still use them. Although my base is different, I still use the other parts of his recipes to great effect. So I would say well done Pat.

Please do point to one or two of his recipes which you rate and I may give them a try. For me, it's been a case of once bitten, twice shy, because I've never been impressed with recipes of his which I've tried before (decades ago!). Perhaps I tried the wrong recipes.

Try ANY of his recipes from his "Balti Specials" in his "Balti Curry Cookbook" (as if!)

What's more, he wrote these books decades ago (before any of us even HEARD of a "curry base" or "spice mix", etc) so stop being so bl**dy ignorant!  ::)

Calm down. It's only a book, an author and a debate.

What do yo mean by "as if"? Actually, I've never been too keen on Balti dishes, even when I've visited Birmingham. Are there any Pat Chapman recipes for a BIR Madras or a Dhansak, worth trying, by any chance?

Why do you say I'm being ignorant?
