Thanks for the kind words guys.

GA. Sorry, never seen or used East End Balti mix.
I buy (probably too many) boxed spices.
Mainly, I think mostly the foil inner packaging gives them a quality freshness feel.
For Balti flavour its usually Mangal Balti, but Shan Karahi/Fry Mix and Laziza Karahi/Fry are pretty good for Balti too.
No need for Garam Masala with these, as its already in.
Iceman, yes thats the Soupmaker thread.
Very clean and semi automatic way of making fresh Garabi.
If you get one, for a Garabi recipe, just scale down my 1 hour base
Works fine
