Thanks Admin I went down Brick lane and had a great time wondering around the stores there and stocked up on a bunch of spices including a jar of Asafoetida which I couldn't find anywhere else, a tava and some of those stainless steel balti type serving dishes just like our logo.
I did wonder if I would have triggerred an MI5 investigation as I put the tava in my luggage at Gatwick.
The range of stores and goodies was fantastic however prices were higher than Glasgow
I took in the excellent Bengal Cuisine Resteraunt for a meal. They do a "Cook Your Own" session on Monday and Tuesday nights so could be worth a visit. I had Bhajis with the Yellow Sauce then Vegatable Dhansak and Spinach with Cottage Cheese with Paneer (outstanding, anyone got a recipe?) with Pulou Rice.
On leaving the street at the Underground end there is a resteraunt with plate windows overlooking the chefs station so you can see right into the pot of base sauce (not as thick as the Dark Lord's) and I expect all the action when its open. An opportunity for someone to loiter with intent.
So thanks again Admin well worth a visit for anyone in or going to London.
