It has been about a year since I moved back to Canada after living in East London for several years.  While there I became hopelessly addicted to BIR food and have been suffering severe withdrawal as there is no decent Indian restaurant or takeaway in my city.  I've been to all kinds of cooking websites, bought cookbooks, and watched youtube videos but absolutely nothing brought me close to the flavor I was searching for.  Last week I suffered my darkest moment when after hearing about a truckstop on the edge of town that was owned by some Indians drove excitedly to get my fix.  Unfortunately I ended up with a Jalfrezi made with stewing beef and jalapeno peppers that was swimming in oil and ran me close to $20.  I happened upon this website and after reading a few threads decided to make up a pot of Saffron base sauce and give your recipes a go.  Tonight I made some bbq tandoori lamb chops with mint sauce and a Jalfrezi.  I wasn't just impressed, I was blown away!  If I was served this up in a restaurant I would be a repeat customer.  Thank you to all the contributors on this website for revealing a goldmine of information, and restoring my sanity.  I'm a bit worried this could become a serious hobby.
