Hi George,

Your absolutely right, it isn't BIR but that was just the point I was trying to make to Billycat. Authentic Indian cuisine can be just as tasteful if not sometimes moreso...

Don't get me wrong, you still can't beat a good BIR also

I go further! Most 'authentic' meals I've had from places like the Bombay Brasserie and Indian restaurants in India and Dubai, knock spots off any BIR dish, for my taste, at least.

There are separate sections on the forum for (a) BIR and (b) authentic dishes with the main focus probably being on BIR. The 'danger' here on 'Lets talk' is that anything goes and it may get a bit confusing as to what we're all aiming for between a BIR and authetic-tasting end result. My main interest in making a BIR curry from scratch is to produce a BIR tasting end result by using 'authentic' type methods. As I said, I think I've alreadty achieved it, by making such a small base.

As has been stated before, this up-market and traditional Indian restaurant is not respresentative of a typical BIR.

I'd also be surprised to see olives in a typical BIR (but chips, yes  )

i now have a 2nd black sheep in the family. the daughter has never got into Indian (black sheep No1). the lad has now decided to have chips with his TA instead of garlic naan. i just can't believe it. he even spent a good deal of time in a BIR kitchen before the age of one.
