Hi from curry addict and keen cook
« on: August 15, 2011, 04:38 AM »
Just thought I'd pop in and say hello :) joined a little while ago and just been nosing round the site, seeing what's what. Have to say I've already learned a lot!
Just been diagnosed with coeliacs disease so as Indian food is gluten free, what better excuse do I need to cook it more often????!!!
I've got a couple of my own adapted recipes including a nice dhansak but as of yet I've never used a base gravy/sauce in my curries-I will be trying my first one this weekend so I'll post up how I get on.
Certainly looks like an awesome forum, and everybody seems nice and pleasant and not obsessed with starting arguments with each other, for once! I look forward to getting to know some of u a bit better in time.
Regards Ben ;)

Welcome to the forum Ben.  Just shout if you have any questions that you can't find answers to.  There are loads of very knowledgeable curry holics on here that will do their best to give you the right answers.  Look forward to reading your post on the results of the weekend.  Don't forget to post pics ;D.

Hi Ben
Welcome to the curry community, I often retort, if I get any negative remarks about
my love of making curry and Indian food "What better way, to get your five a day"

Seriously, apart from wheat, what else do you have to avoid to maintain a healthy diet.
We may be able to help in your choices.

cheers Chewy

Hey thanks for the welcomes, chewy- it's just gluten I can't eat so basically anything with flour or wheat in it. Gram flour and corn flour are fine tho, hense Indian food being fine, altho I could murder someone for a decent gluten free recipe for naan/paratha/roti....

Welcome Ben and as chewy says, your five a day is on the cards. Mind you I'm Scottish and we regards a portion of chips as one of our five a day...
