G'day folks.

It's been a while since I was last involved here, but I do have a good reason.

I have set up a takeaway/restaurant here in Perth, Australia, called British Indian 2 go. Check out our Facebook link.

https://www.facebook.com/BritishIndian?ref=hl

If you can find it in your hearts to "like" our page it would be a massive help.

I originally set it up with a mate, but I am in the process of buying him out (long story....partnerships are not a good idea)

I've been trading for 4 weeks and it's bloody hard graft..........but very rewarding. We have many, many repeat customers, and it is great when people take the time to phone up and say that they enjoyed the food. We have had a bit of negative feedback too, but no business can please everybody..........some people are just (moderated) ..lol.

It has been a steep learning curve. I employed an Indian guy "Raj" to work the tandoor, and thank christ I did. Without him, I would have folded within a week. He has taught us so much, and continues to do so. But, by the same rule, he has learned a lot from us too. He had never eaten BIR food, and he is now a fan.

He cooks excellent seekh kebabs with no pastes..........recipe will be revealed soon (I haven't had the time to observe yet). His tandoori chicken is bang on too. Recipe also to follow. His naan bread is made without yeast. he uses no baking powder, just yoghurt and it is also excellent. Once again, when I have time to watch/learn, I will share.

If I hadn't found this excellent site, I wouldn't have been able to do this. Massive thanks to people who share their knowledge. I have tinkered around with different peoples bases/recipes, added a bit of this, taken out a bit of that and finally came up with my own recipes, that seem to be working..... so far.

There are loads of Brits here in WA who complain that they can't get a decent curry....well now they can. I am providing a public service  lol, and also (hopefully ) making a living at the same time. I am in big debt with the bank, and haven't managed to draw a wage yet, but given time, I'm sure it will start to pay it's way. We are managing to pay the rent, staff wages, and all suppliers, so the only way is up from here...hopefully. 

Thanks Cr0

Fantastic stuff, Mick. Facebook page liked!

As the old saying goes, you only get out what you put in, and it sounds as though you're putting everything (and some) into this project.

Here's raising a glass and wishing you all the very best of BIR!

Good on yer, Bluey !

Hope your venture is a great success. I'm really impressed you plan to give something back to this site, some folks forget where they came from.

Best regards.
