fair enough Fried.

I've tried lemon lime vinegar and found tamarind sauce to give the best result - closest I've got to a restaurant vindaloo - use 2 tsp of sauce and add it after the first ladle of base gravy - not got on very well with all that soaking of a block of tamarind then found it in a bottle in big T`s.
Appreciate the context of the thread was 're a traditional style recipe but this really works well for me
