TWO questions only

[loveitspicy]

Guys

I would like to ask two questions of our members and i will probably only get 10 replies but hoping for many many more having not been in the UK for years....

1, What is you favourite restaurant curry?   ie; answer 1, Lamb Madras

2, What curry do you favour when making?  ie, answer 2, Chicken Bhuna

Hope to read at least 200 replies - with any luck

best regards all , Rich

I've never strayed far from Lamb or Beef Madras/Vindaloo/Phall (prefer lamb where available - some BIRs won't do lamb but will do beef  i thought the cow was the sacred animal, shows my ignorance)

At home I'm still trying to emulate the local BIRs madras as a starting point (thanks to input from various books as c2g, undercover curry, kd, pat chapman i think i'm almost there with the consistency and overall taste, but a significant liquourice/coriander aftertaste still eludes -  already using fresh coriander, tried dried coriander leaf, fennel powder and seeds, and tamarind paste, none quite get "that" taste - ground star anise and/or jarred pataks mango and chilli pickles are next on the to-try list) but almost exclusively using beef because lamb is dearer (cue the joke about venison...) :
