Hello I?m new here
« on: November 14, 2012, 02:44 PM »
Hi,
Just introducing myself, I?m a vegetarian curry addict, what a great forum! - can?t wait to get stuck in with recipes! I prefer the more spicy dishes, such as Madras, Vindaloo or dhansak. I will also be trying a few of the chicken dishes using "Quorn" as a substitute. I had my first attempt at making a base, along with a Madras, and was very pleased with the result but there are so many more to try I hardly know where to begin!! I?ve printed off a few to get me started - I suppose its just a case of trying and perfecting and finding one that suits. Thankfully my husband loves curry too and is quite happy to eat 2 or more a week whilst I am practising. I?ve already got a few questions but will try and stick to posting in the relevant sections.

welcome to the forum chilli pepper - am sure you will soon get to know the various members on here - though not necessarily certifiable - they are all curry mad  :D

Welcome along,chilli pepper.
I'm also vegetarian and do sometimes use Quorn as a meat substitute, (mostly for the   kid's meals) although I  do prefer the use of Paneer as the main substitute.
You'll also find  recipes for Pre cooked mixed vegetables on here http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5958.80so don't be afraid to experiment with what's on offer.
Best of luck on your Curry journey

Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome  :) I?m just about to post a pic of the curry I cooked tonight - it was  very moreish to say the least, I wish I?d found this forum when it first started up! I don?t think I?ve ever eaten paneer, but will give it a try. The thing I?m finding difficult at the moment is knowing which base to cook with the individual dishes, at the moment I?m just doing it on a mix and match basis - so far so good! Any advice on this point much appreciated  ;)

chilli pepper - try sticking with one base - preferably one that carries a lot of recipes with it. CA, Razor, Chewy Tikka, to name but a few have posted a lot of recipes to go with their respective bases. If you are attracted to the Taz bases and method then I have posted several recipes that cover the standard and specials from the curry menu.
