Secret Santa,
also i was using jb's mix powder which i have no experience of (not saying it's not very good - it could be too close to curry powder for example) - i need to use a mix powder i've used before. i have some dipuraja left.
just to muddy the picture when i make the kashmiri i use bassar on it's own ie no additional mix powder. i've tried same dish with mix powder and it doesn't work as good. what i'm getting at is that the "rule" on what to use may not be that simple.
will know better after hopefully cooking on the weekend the remaining 3 base portions.
