Greetings to all you fellow curry lovers.
« on: January 19, 2006, 04:14 PM »
What can I say other than I am delighted to have stumbled across this site.
Mrs B and I have been into curry for over 20 years (I was a late convert), Bangladesh type Curry being a favorite of ours.

I tried many years ago to cook restaurant style curries but gave in as I didn't feel as though it was the real deal.
Lately I have re ignited the efforts, dug out my old Khris Dillon book and have started to get excited about it again.
I have also tried Pat Chapmans recipies, but have not found them to be as successful as KDs.

I hope that this forum can give me a few alternative recipies or tweaks for the KD verion of the basic sauce. Its close but just missing that elusive something.

Long Live Curry

Welcome aboard...I think will find some of the base sauces here far superior to KDs'

Hi,

Welcome to you.

Yes, I agree with all from above, there are a good number of alternatives on this site apart from K.D.
I also agree dear old Pat C is a bit wide of the mark.
Try Darth's base, "100 Best" base or the Balti Kitchen base as a quick basic recipe.

Regards

Ray

Hi,

My advice to you, if you have not done it already is to read the articles on Bruce Edwards which are posted in the ebooks section. This is a really good read and some sound advice on curry making.  Good luck to you and lets hear from you again soon.

Hi, and thanks for the welcome messages.

I have looked at some of the suggested base recipes and now look forward to trying some real alternatives to the Kris Dhillons version. :P

The debate about the base or the final recipe having the secret is indeed fascinating, but unfortunately I have no evidence either way.

I/we do however in the main prefer Bangladesh style curry, then Indian style, and lastly Pakistan style. Anyone else have opinions, and how much does the bases for these different styles vary do you think?

Fantastic site!

Eric
