Hi, I've only now discovered this site and well impressed with the passion and knowledge of the members about our favorite food.
I have been making curries (or trying to) for nearly 50 years and I am still not satisfied with my best effort (and probably never will be!)
Over the years I have thrown away many of my experimental failed curries, but not deterred I've kept at it. I once did a repair job for a TA and rather than charge them I asked them to show me how to cook a curry from scratch, but they did a standard quick curry and not their BIR version - disappointed. A few years later I supplied some pumps to a Restaurant for the same deal and they did exactly the same thing - mega disappointed. Finally, I paid for for a curry course at a BIR restaurant just outside Leicester and that was really good.
I have been to Goa three times and just got back from Candolim, Goa yesterday. I was able to get 3 recipes from the restaurants who were only to happy to help. I will try them out over the next week.
Hopefully i will be able to contribute to this site and pass on some of the better tips i have learned over the years and i will be asking lots of questions as i want to keep on improving my skills and technique for this God's gift to mankind - the awesome curry!!
