Hi all!

Just discovered this forum yesterday and got to say one word

WOW!

I thought I was a good indian cook until I saw the quality of the meals on show here! I have mastered Chicken Tikka thanks to my rotisserie oven and onion bahjee's thanks to an adusted recipe from the net, Having spent an afternoon in my local curry house's kitchen I picked up a few tricks but still struggle with a few dishes and thanks to Uncle Buck hopefully I should now be able to crack chicken tikka puree

Hi shiftelec and welcome.  Yes, the knowledgebase on here is pretty impressive alright and most members are turning out so mighty fine looking dishes.  I think all would agree that their BIR cooking skills have been enhanced since joining this forum.
Glad to hear you have cracked chicken tikka and onion  bahjis but don't let that stop you.  Why not take them to the next level? ;D.  Give Blades tikka ago http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=874.0
and chriswg onion bahjis a gohttp://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5057.0
You may find you can produce even more tastier than you do now .
As for your visit to your local BIR kitchen us members on CR0 are always keen to hear about details of the visit and anything you may have learnt.  What is UB's chicken tikka puree? That's a new one on me . You never stop learning on here

. .  I read that as in a tikka puree as in paste rather than the puri  bread (spelling varying between restaurants).  Oops - t has been a long day.  Well that's my excuse.  I already have this recipe on the radar to try.  If it tastes as good as it looks it will be fantastic

Hi Shiftelec and welcome to cr0,

As the others have said, plenty to learn from this site, and plenty advice on offer if you need it.

Good luck,

Hi Brendan,

ground fenugreek isnt a substitute for methi leaves, you need to find this stuff
A to Z of spices http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=184.0



the dough will be ok in the fridge for a couple of days just keep it wrapped up tight in cling film.


something like that and your on a winner.

Cant find any methi leaves local to me so I done the next best thing! I phoned my local curry house and spoke to my main man who replied with pop in tomorrow and pick some up might have to tap him up for a quick lesson whilst im there!!!!
