Hi Everyone!

Havent had a real BIR style curry for years.. they just don't exist here in Australia. I've tried pretty much every 'curry' place in my area (sydney) and the curries just arent the same.. not even close!

The closest I've got with my home efforts is mixing the pataks sauce with the pataks paste.. but its nothing like the real thing.

Finally a website with an active forum to teach me how! I think I may actually break down in tears if I finally can make a real takeaway style curry after so many attempts.

A few noob questions.

-Is it better to do big bulk batches or can you experiment with smaller ones till you get the perfect mix?
- Are the spices/ingredients freely available from any supermarket?

I see there is loads of info on this board so i'm getting reading!...

Cheers,
Jon
