Just this minute finished another big batch (2Kg) of pre-cooked lamb, Ali Haydor style.  Bl@@dy good in a Madras or Bhuna!

Authentic Balti Curry, by Ali Haydor and Andy Holmes ISBN 1-4120-5592-X Trafford Publishing 'phone 01865-722-113, you have to order as they only print what they need.  It's a slim book, about 60 pages, but well worth it in my opinion.

Sorry for the delay, been busy!

Which book are we referring to now Derek? Ali Haydor's or Pat Chapman's!? 

I thought your question (and this thread) was about Pat Chapman's book?  If so, I see you have a number of options available to you:

a) use Pat's recipes with your own base and your own masalas
b) use Pat's recipes with Pat's base and your own masalas
c) use Pat's recipes with Pat's base and Pat's masalas (as is no doubt Pat's intent with his book)

Plenty of choices then, I'd say...good luck! 

I'd be interested to know how you get on....

yes i refer to pats balti book. i own this, as you may have gathered  . i like your ideas. i wish i could give up work to cook curry all day, every day. there seems so much to learn. i will let you know how i get on, with pats balti book.

Jerry pointed out its not a great book, so I may just limit myself to try a few recipies. just to satisfy my curiosity. If anyone can suggest the very best recipies in the book i would like to know.
