Hello, I have only just joined this site as I stumbled across it only very recently.
I have actually been on a college course to learn Indian cookery (which I Love, don't think I mentioned that before)
Obviously it was a traditional form of cookery, taught by a very skilled Indian lady, with which I use my skills to entertain on a regular basis.

I have been looking for a certain recipe (Lamb Pathia) which i adore so I have been led to this site in a roundabout way.

My initial reaction was WOW, so much talent out there. The recipes look tremendous and I am cooking my first one tonight.

I hope I can post some of more traditional recipes in the near future, because I think they are just as good as BIR when cooked correctly.

Well I shall leave it at that for now and hope that I get some feedback.

Glad to be on board  ;)
