Greetings

Hello everybody.
First off congratulations on making SMF a successful board, spammers forced me to take mine off my website but you guys seem to have been able to stop them.
Second I'm here to learn more about curry. I've been cooking curries for about a year now and I want to become the curry oracle.
Some of the recipes look fantastic but the amount of oil and fat in some of them trouble me. I understand how fat carries flavour and why a lot of the curry houses use ghee and oil. My aim is to expand my talents using more healthy types of cooking.
I'm looking forward to sharing what little I know and learning from the curry masters here. See you around.

Welcome 

Yes, BIR style curries aren't exactly the healtiest ways of cooking and they do tend to use fairly large amounts of oil/fat. Healthy and BIR style curries are a bit of a paradox, you can't really create them without using unhealthy quantities of fat. You lose some of that unctuous quality they have.

Nevertheless at the expense of some of the flavour and sweetness fat imparts you can create quite enjoyable BIR style curries with less oil and fat than normal.
