Good work panpot  :)

Nothing specific for me. How they do their madras and tikka masala would be useful i reckon.

I've just left the meeting and due to unforseen circumstancees the chef could not accomodate me today but has agreed to share next month.

The owner did explain why curries taste different today than the 70/80's and that is down to regulation and marination controls. cheers PP

Very interesting. Any more details on what regulations? Did they give any hints?
I wouldnt be surprised if they left the meat marinating at room temperature. India is not known for having fridges in all kitchens (even today, let alone historically).
My question is - should that make it taste better? Well, i know that cold temps dull taste: Classic examples are cheese, red wine, tomatoes. However they regain their flavour when warmed up.
