As I recently commented in another thread........
......"having read quite a few of the threads on this site, I?m not at all sure that we are all looking for something similar in our perfect dish (and there?s nothing at all wrong with that...we're all different after all). It seems to me that many people are looking for???
??
an oil free, fat free, sugar free, salt free, MSG free, artificial colouring free, artificial ingredient free, cholesterol free curry (?..no doubt cooked on a turbo charged halogen hob! )?..that tastes just like the British Indian Restaurant curries of yesteryear!!!!?
....and then wonder why it?s missing that ?certain restaurant taste?!! 
Personally, I think what people are seeking, in the above, is the curry of the future (or maybe even the present?)...which is absolutely fine, whereas what I?m after is definitely after is the curry of the past!
As you rightly indicate (and as one famous BIR restaurateur once remarked ), ?one man?s meat is another man?s poison!?
Happy cooking! (I'm now off to rest my weary heart! )"
