Someone on a UK newsgroup pointed me to this place, and all I can say is "overwhelming".

I'm an ex-pat Brit, living in Austria since 1991 and started making my own curies here then as there were no restaurants available (meanwhile there are a few), and I had a a hard time even getting basic spices. I had a 2-hour each-way train journey to Vienna to get some. Again, now it's dead easy to get most things.

I started with A Taste Of India, from which I have a few favourite recipes, and then tried one of the Curry Club's books. Most recipes I tried were a tad underwhelming.  And over time I have stopped using it.
Anyway, there is so much information here that I really don't know where to start. But the enthusiasm is back, and it's time to knock up a batch of curry gravy this afternoon, then we'll see what to make with it. I'll start with SnS's base from the Saffron restaurant and next on the list is the 2-mother sauce mix from Curry King, which is intriguing.

So a big thanks to all here, esp. the Admins for providing such an enormous mine of information!

Cheers,
Tim.
