Hello from windy Wellington

Hi Everyone,

Fantastic site !

I've been trying to make a decent curry for years. I've tried several books and online forums but I've always been disappointed and have reverted to the local takeaway.
Now I'm living in NZ I really can't get a decent curry.  I have tried several restaurants and take-outs but have now stopped buying them in and have started trying to make them again.

My all-time favourite is Tandoori Chicken Biryani, although Chicken Tikka Biryani comes a close second. 

I hosted a curry night last Saturday for some 'Pommy' friends and dished up a 'Curry House' madras (not bad, but still not quite right) and tried a fantastic Sheek Kebab recipe I found on here. The curry went down well (not quite hot enough for the blokes) but the kebabs were a smash hit ! I couldn't believe how good they were - just needed a bit more food colouring and you would have thought I'd had them delivered.  The 'mint sauce' (what's the proper name ?) was also from this site and that was fantastic too. Where have you guys (and gals) been all my life !!!?

Next on my list is the Chicken Madras posted by DarthPhall...any reviews ?

Hi CurryLover_NZ
Welcome to Cr0 I was in Wellington and Auckland last year (Lions Tour) and you are right I could not get a decent Curry anywhere (including RotoRua) I had Curry withdrawl my body started going into shock.  when I came home the 1st thing I did was eat a chicken Vindaloo job done.

Anyway enjoy the website there's lots here and members will point you in the right direction if you have any queries or there's a recipe you cant find.

Hi & Welcome CurryLover_NZ,

I am in Christchurch, going home in October back to UK but at least i will be able to get back the years worth of curry i have missed out on.

Over here i recommend the Tandoori Palace (chicken aloo) for the closest to UK Curry.

Anyway this site should help you on your way to bringing some of that UK curry right into your kitchen.

Stew ;D
