Topic: Hello Everyone

[gary_p]

Hi, like darkginger i am also a member of another popular curry site, however I have only been a member for about 4 weeks, I am totally new to making curries and and really keen and eager to replicate that Indian restaurant taste. I found this site through a you tube video and cannot wait to see what it offers.
I have just purchased Julians e-book and only yesterday produced 3 litres of his C2Go base gravy, so I hope this will do.
From what I have learned in my short time is that curries taste different in different parts of the country. I am from the midlands (Wolverhampton) so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be much appreciative.

Hi Gary, and welcome to cr0.

You're right of course, curries from different regions will have some subtle differences but in the main, you should get close to what you're familiar with, just tweak it to suit.

Happy currying, and if you've any questions or need any help, there are plenty of us on here to lend a hand if we can.

Best of luck,

Ray

Welcome to cr0 Gary
Have you tried using a Sat-Nav, there quite good I hear ;D (we also have a sence of humour as well)

Like razor said, just go with the flow, and tweak to suite,

Hi Gary - good to see you here I'm working my way through Julian's e-book too, so perhaps we can compare notes?

It's been a while (maybe 15 years?) since I ate curry further north than Brighton - but was at Uni in Huddersfield in the 80s, so explored the fleshpots of Leeds, Manchester etc. at the time - seemed to me that the more northern curries were somewhat less adjusted to what was perceived as the 'British' taste, because there was a far larger ethnic population 'oop north' than 'darn sarf'. Of course, that's probably no longer the case, and my experience is out of date. I remember being blown away by a 99p keema curry from a tiny, formica clad 'caff' at the end of our street - those were the days!

 Hi Jo
I made the 3litre version of the c2go however where he said to wait till you can push your knife through the onions and carrots with no resistance before you get that tangy smell ( after 25mins ) it took me 90 mins before I could do that and I didn't seem to get that smell, so I hope I didn't spoil it. I didn't use the pressure cooker either
