Unclefrank,
u're worse than me - in fact far worse (i've only done 2 off as a side by side and 1/2 portions at that).
not tried vindamoos but have made CA's and the ashoka - both very good. since ashoka i now add a little marge to all bases (1 - 2 tbsp).
the ashoka is something that still niggles me (base spicing full stop) - the spicing is heavy on the cumin yet works.
looking fwd to u're results.
