Hi Ed,
My curry nights for the family must always have a traditional Rogan Josh from Madhur Jaffreys book from the very first BBC series she presented. If it is not there they want to know why.
They also like a Vivek Singh stir-fry of greens with garlic so that tends to make a regular appearance, as does a traditional Kichri.
Other than those I

I've had a quick flick through my recipe files and these are some of my favourites

CA Sheek kebab
CA mild base, ChewwyTikka 1 hour pressure cooker base or Sober Rats base (I finds all of these are good, and not that different)
A modified version of CA pilau rice
Chapatti (cannot remember the author)
ChewwyTikka/Sober Rat Madra
Loveitspicey Chicken Rogan Josh
Tarka dal (not sure who to attribute this to, just a simple dal)

CA features a couple of times. He left before I joined but many of the recipes he post give good results

I like this question, it's a bit like your top ten albums, very tricky.

Mine as follows:

Taz base
BE spice mix
Pat Chapman Tandoori Masala
Dipuraja's Yellow Mint Sauce
Ashoka Onion Bhajis
Curryhell's North Indian Special
Achmal's Madras

These are the stand-outs. The rest would be recipes I have created for Taz base, or my adaptations of other people's recipes to suit the Taz base. Dishes such as Punjabi Masala, Pathia, Chasni etc. have been pretty successful.

The Ashoka Bhajis......Is the recipe in the starters section ? Cant seem to find it

Cheers

Not sure if the Bhaji recipe was ever on here. The link to it that was in a newspaper is now dead. If you really want it it's in the Ashoka Cookbook by Sanjay Majhu but it's nothing special.
