Topic: Getting into an Indian Kitchen

[Micky Tikka]

After my superb curry last night
I came home thinking If i could cook a curry like that I would die a happy man 
So Ive decided to try and get into the kitchen
Any helpful tips on how i would achieve this ?

And then I could write my own ebook  ;D  joking

Cheers Michael

That was exactly my sentiment about ten years ago
Since then, I have been in Indian Kitchens countless times
I made friends with several chefs
A couple of them even ring me up for a chat
I've made the curry gravy and cooked the curries in their kitchens
But what can I say?
Try it at home, and it just doesn't work
Totally puzzled and don't know why

The best way to get in, is to start by asking to see your curry being cooked
Once you have achieved that, just build on the relationship
Remember that these people DON'T drink
So don't ask favours if you are under the influence

I've been turned down for demos, but succeeded at a third of the places I approached

Thanks haldi
I like to think I'm not too bad after a few beers  but i take your point
The place is not your usual curry house more of a wine bar and is full of Indians at the weekend
I did speak to the owner last night and brought him a half of lager so that's a start
