Topic: Hi From Leeds !

Hi All,

what a fantastic resource - I just found you and registered.
We've been cooking curries for years using various approaches - and can make mean bhajis and tikka massallas but have never been able to crack a really good BIR style bhoona or rogan josh etc - i.e. anything with a sauce thats not based on Yoghurt or cream.

So, I'm here to learn how to get good curries like the local restaurants - but with nice gravies rather than creamy sauces ! Looking forward to learning some great recipes.

Cheers
Pete

Welcome Pete, this is the definitive resource for replicating BIR curries - it takes a bit of digging around here because there is such a vast array of base, spice mix and curry recipes, but it's worth the effort.

Hi Pete,
I live between Leeds & Wakefield and have just found this site. I usually buy all my Indian groceries from Manchester Superstore in Eastmoor. They are very cheap and you can usually find everything you need .
Usually we like Aagrah in St. Peter's square best .  Re-visited Sheesh Mahal last year but was very disappointed in the meal, despite it getting rave reviews. Have tried most of the curry houses in Leeds & Wakefield areas but Aagrah as mentioned, is still mine and my husbands favourite.
Happy Curry Cooking !
