Hi Ramirez it says in book to garnish with cucumber, tomatoes and fresh coriander.It makes the dish taste "fresh" if you know what i mean and yes it is.

Sorry to make a Negative comment on your efforts Unclefrank I have been a fan of most of your efforts on the Forum but this looks Yuk !The Base looks a bit Green probably down to the amount of Fresh Coriander plus it looks thick and grainy with the finished dish looking orrible  Sorry again to sound so Negative it's just how it looks to me.

emin-j its probably the camera the finished dish is like a light brown colour and not grainy at all, it was thick but added 1.5pints a water to finished base, its has a very smooth texture, will make it again and take pictures with my other halfs camera. I was very surprised with this book after a couple of changes it turned out quite nice.

Ok, ok dont shoot the  messenger, its my first attempt at a recipe i havent done before, i only followed the recipe guide-lines and added the ingredients the book told me to. Thought it worth posting because nobody else had already,but as stated in my posts it does need a bit tweeking.

I agree : if you can't say something nice about a chap's efforts, best to say nothing at all.

There are ways of disagreeing that are still constructive and pleasant for the contributor to read : for example, "Looks interesting, but do you not think it might look better if you were to ...", rather than "Worst looking curry that I've  seen" or ""This looks yuk".

Hi Phil, I just wanted to wait just to see if anybody else thought that the comments were a bit rude and it wasnt just me.Its not surprising that few of the members on this site dont post on here anymore with comments like that, dont get me wrong i can take criticism, but being down right rude is another matter. I didnt post what i wanted to say because of all the controversy that has been going on.
You can speak your mind and have your own opinion but comments like that really arent called for and that from somebody who expects every single curry recipe to be...
argh forget it, not even worth any comments anymore.
