Thanks for the welcome curryhell, about ten years ago after 20 years of struggling with curry cooking i was lucky enough to meet a guy who not only had an indian restraunt but was also a caterer for
Asian weddings and feastivals. After telling him of my quest for knowledge in indian cuisine he invited me down to his kitchen for some tuition. I visited him many times over the following months and would be
happy to share many of the techniques and tips he showed me with the forum. Do not get me wrong though i still do not consider myself any kind of authority on Indian cookery. The guy i am talking about
had an amazing amount of knwledge he had gained over a lifetime of cooking and i believe i barely scratched the surface of his knowledge.
