Maybe it was a long time ago, but i remember when i first discovered curry, i thought it was the worlds best food (isnt it?

), and i tried to create it at home. not really knowing anything at all, i presumed it would be chicken stock with spices.. so i got going, baked me a chicken and cover it in curry powder. Then was all surprised when it turned out the way you might imagine. :

More attempts were with Majur Jaffreys first curry book, the more i cooked the more i liked.. but there was an feeling of disappointment. This wasnt the same taste or texture as restaurant curries....... it took many years until i came close and then some to try my first Cr0 BIR curry. I believed it would always remain a secret!
And as far as im concerned, im happy with where i am, the grail isnt so much a step up, although, its always nice to reach perfection

There are lots of people who have helped me in understanding the nature of curry, but those posts ive been most interested in are those written by the old timers who walked the streets and asked the questions and begged the recipes from the curry houses. A big thank you to all those people!! There is enough information here on this site to write the most comprehensive book on the BIR curry ever.
Im surprised someone hasnt offered to publish these recipes.
Anyway the effort that all you curry fans put in is much appreciated !
Keep up the good work! And let the effort we put in result in our ultimate curry goal!
