Hello.   Like you guys I'm a keen curry dude making curries weekly etc.  Even got a Tandoor in the garden (charcoal & Gas). I came across this site only yesterday and think the regulars that are posting their stuff is really excellent and I want to join in BUT I can't because the site doesn't seem to work properly and I don't understand it! Please help?  Stuart. stuartb8snc@me.com.

Welcome Stuart. How is it not working as you are posting?

[Stu-pot]

Hi Gav.  Yeah good point...  Must have had some luck... Getting there.  The problem maybe my end.  Sorry to have bothered.  You have a good group of people on this forum, I look forward to meeting them.  Thanks.

Hi All - have just found your site and (obviously!!) joined  ;D   I went to take the poll and the first option is 2 separate reasons, only 1 which applies to me. I am not worried about being a 'newbie' - however I have never made a BIR curry from scratch so a novice in that department. I will post my experiences with recipes and am looking forward to trying some

 So I joined.  I have recently awakened my home cooking of the wonderful CURRY. 

My sister gave me a recipe for a Chicken Korma when I left home for College many years ago - she even enclosed some of the more 'unusual' spices I may not have, like Black Cardamons.  WOW  (never seen them before)

It was one of the best meals I ever had as a poor student, and still enjoy to cook it. Will share with you all after my first attempt at :
- the Base Sauce with a view to doing a CTM .
Welcome all new comers.  Looks like a great site.

Welcome . From personal experience I'd try not to do too much in one day for a first go. Make the base sauce one day, then marinate chicken tikka another day etc. I have horrific memories of spending 12h in the kitchen the first time I decided to make everything from scratch.

Fear of being labeled as a lazy person, although that may be an irrational fear and let me explain why:
I'm mainly here to get good recipes for my two favorite takeaway curries, and have searched this site to find them. But I haven't found any recipes that resemble the curries I'm after.
So if I ask, I'm afraid to get comments along the lines of "use the search function" or "do your own homework" or "just improvise".

If you don't ask, PopCorn, how can any of us even /try/ to help ?  Yes, of course there is a risk that someone will respond "Use the search function", but just because a small number of members may take that approach does not mean that a far larger number will not try to offer the help you need.  So ask away.
