100 best balti curries can be found here.
its not the full book, and opens in word format
Ray has spent quite some time typing this up.

I am going to have to read the book again
and promise myself to give it a go sometime.

If you can get hold of a copy of 100 Best Balti Curries it really is a lovely little book, it contains some really nice  hand drawn illustrations of the kitchens and staff that are mentioned in the book.

Has anyone ever tried a base sauce from "100 best balti"
If so, Which one, and was it any good? I love balti, but don't want to waste time and money, if It's not up there with some of the best already on here

I've got to admit I've sidelined this for the same reason. It still nags me that the recipe's look really good & the bases look to be full of flavour!

This is what I thought also, But as no one seem to have tried any of the base's or recipes out, seem's to indicate that It's not worth trying,

Real Curry Recipe's - RCR review


Anyone new to recreating bir@home, who has visited / registered on rcr,(me included) will have found doors locked at every turn with the promise of all kinds of secret stuff for a fee. The info that you can view from a simple registration, amounts to a handful of posts from a handful of members(who I assume have paid a subscription at some point?), still asking the same questions as cr0 members here do daily. So whats behind the curtain on rcr? Draw your own conclusions.I'd stick my neck out & say that there is nothing behind the curtain  that can't be found on cr0. The available recipe's also offer nothing that can't be found on cr0, in terms of base & mix powder. This is a fatal flaw for rcr, which has never been addressed by the site owner. The audience for eating bir curry & learning how to cook it, are poles apart & when your nearest rival (cr0) allows it to be put out there for free, it's the end of the road. Shame because the rcr members have put a huge amount of effort in there.

They're not alone...


Here's a quote from curryhouse.co.uk faqs, which made me click the X button in the corner

"Your balti / korma / whatever doesn't taste like the one in my local restaurant. How come? "


"Whilst I think the free restaurant-style recipes here in the public area are good, the revised versions in the Premium Area are much closer to the ones you'll find in the majority of standard Bangladeshi-run curry houses."
 ;D

You see the pattern
