Hi ifindforu

May I ask what is the origin of this recipe and what do you mean by the term "special spice" ?

I take it this is a tried and tested recipe otherwise you wouldn't be sharing it with us anyway thank's in advance.

Could you possibly give me the name for this special mix or the make up of it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Terry,

Your spice mix is very similar to the Bruce Edwards one which is the best one i've used to date so this, as you have first hand knowledge, confims it as the real deal for me.  It would be intresting to find out a few other mixes from restaurants just to see if they are all the same or similar.

Cheers

Hi Terry,

I made this dish last night with the mint sauce.  It was really, really good. Thanks.   I think its probably the best one I have ever made! Have you got a recipe for prawn ceylon?

Hi Terry,

Many thank's for answering my question about spice mix I intend making this Tikka marinade and I will give you feedback on my findings shortly.

It looks a good recipe I'm particularly interested in the 1Tbs of Mango powder.

Layne   

Cheers, and thanks for your feedback.
