My curries at the moment dont quite taste like restaurant curries but many friends say that they prefer mine to any restaurant. My favourite curry is methi ghost.

I don't think that there is one person on this forum that hasn't at some time had that comment made to them. But I think it just reflects the poor quality of the current indian restaurants' fare. Personally I still can't, and I'm beginning to think I never will, replicate the depth of flavour, the 'taste' and the smell of my favourite curries from the old days.

I know what you mean. I sometimes feel the same way! But, in my case, is my memory playing tricks? I know a few BIRs which I'm convinced are just as good as they were in the 70s and 80s. At least one place has the same chef! So I think today's output (sample dishes) from those places is essential as a benchmark for anything I try to replicate, rather than some vague romantic notion in my mind that things were better in the good old days.

But my benchmark is just those minority of BIRs. I fear the standard at too many BIRs has now sunk to a very disappointing level.

Regards
George

Hi George,

This maybe why I am more satisfied with what I can produce than others as I didn't start eating BIR curry until the 90's, as far as i'm concerned they are the same now as when I started  ::)
