would you not be able to make your own tomato powder from sundried tomato Bob?

Sun dried tomato paste...I bet that'd add a unique flavour to a curry!

100 Best Balti Curries Book arrived today.  Not a bad read. More baltis soon me thinks!  Just need a new base now.

Read 100 Best Balti Curries now. Get the distinct impression the restaurants mentioned (and there are a lot) have given absolutely nothing away recipe-wise on their base gravies, mix powders, and gm.  Instead, the authors have come up with generic mixes out of thin air, and every recipe in the book seems to refer back to these.  Still, good book for 1 p plus postage, and there are plenty of ideas; some of the starters look authentic too.

Rob  :)

Balti Towers in Halesowen are mentioned in the book.  Home delivery range for me.  Just had a TA from them.  Unbelievably (really) bad.  It's gone in the bin! When I calm down I will post a short review in the appropriate section.

Bob,

i have the 2 things on my mind - base and gm. i'm going to combine the LB and BBComp bases and will post what recipe jumps out before i go ahead and make.

on the gm i'm thinking:

1) bay
2) green cardamom
3) anis
4) cinnamom
5) aniseed
6) fennel
7) mint
8 ) ajwain

to potentially add in later:
9) pimento/clove
10) rose petal

i've got fingers crossed for a taste of base on the Balti visit. not essential but would certainly speed up by offering a better route map.
