Hi, Interesting base gravy. Some very big and bold flavours in there!

I would just like to pick you up on your comment about

I just posted this on the site:

"Re: The comments about the currys tasting the same due to the base sauce on the cr0 website. You may chuckle but we want to create the same food as we get from British Indian takeaways and restaurants. It

Why argue that our dishes will 'taste the same' as we use one base, then promote his own base that can make many different curries...

Why? To be sure, to be sure!  ;D

I live in Dublin these days and I can say that the author of this blog doesn't appear to be referring to BIR, but generic indian takeaway cooking which locally would be the pakistani style, which is the predominant nationality behind these takeaways.

I didn't read the whole article, but I found it funny that he "cracked" a recipe for a micro-waveable product from a relatively famous chain of takeaways in Dublin (The bombay pantry) which I had the chance to try recently and wasn't anything worth raving about, though it was largely better than the microwaveable crap sold by the-coop. Sadly, though, I never got around to try the actual takeaway restaurant, but a lot of people claim it to be among the best service/food wise (I still can't believe they will have anything in common with BIR.) they don't deliver to my area, though a friend of mine works for them so I might convince him to bring me a curry next time he's around tuesday.

My experience in Dublin is that takeaways favor the "like it saucy" style. I have a takeaway next door that is run by pakistani. Besides being over-priced, it is quite disappointing too. No difference in taste from a Madras, Vindaloo, Jalfrezi or even their very own "india house special" ... all the same. I have to write a review on the restaurants to avoid section some day!

Hi
That sauce recipe says to me, more Balti than BIR.
