To be honest, I love the quest for the perfect BIR curry. It inspires me to cook and makes me look forward to dinner. It's great socially - I'm often cooking Curry's for my friends, gf and family who all love them.
I think if I did perfect the BIR curry, that would be quite sad. Another box ticked but no more curry related banter - and it is great banter ;D
For example, I went to work on Friday, and had a Tupperware box with a curry in it. I use lots of oil and some speckles of food colouring in my rice. The tub leaked into my bag, covering my belongings and I in strong smelling oil

When I went to lunch and heated up my curry, all of the oil from the curry had seeped through the rice, swamping it and changing it from lovely red flecked pillau rice to this radioactive red goop. Anyway, this curry stank :

All my work mates were giving it the whole "toilet roll in the fridge" thing and the toilet humour progressed. I had way over spiced this thing and the smell was really upsetting my friends! During this furour, I had a brilliant vision intended to soothe. An invention to aid all those curry addicts made to feel uncomfortable in the workplace!
The Yogurt Nappy. The yogurt nappy had us all in tears of laughter, with images of presenting the product to dragons den. I think I'd struggle to keep a straight face when they asked me my estimated projection

I think what I'm trying to get across here, is that BIR curry chasing is a great thing to do. It provides good food for you and your loved ones, offers excitement and opportunity for innovation, and provides us with cracking good banter. Experimenting with freshly ground vs pre ground spice is all part of the adventure and although my preference is fresh, I suppose it's whatever appeals to you.

Sorry for such a long, slightly idealistic, borderline offensive and almost certainly off topic post!
