I have been eating currys for 40 years, I think I was brought up on Bhuna & Rohgan Josh

Really adore rich flavorsome dishes, I don't need it to take the roof off my mouth .. but it must be anything but bland.

However I would also like to eat healthy curry as well ... does anybody have any Fat Free (or low fat) curry recipes ... I saw a short snippet of a TV programme recently (called something like 'breaking into Tesco's ) .. and a lady had a Fat free range of currys, which wowed the judges.

Anybody ant recipes ?

I frequented Curry houses all through 70's when I would start every curry with some Bombay Duck, and a little heap of chilli powder.
I know why it went of the menu's.

However when it became available by mail order ,.. I bought some, the problem is it is not like I remember.

It used to be a wide, flat dark brown extremely crisp delight .. would snap easily and an amazing pungent taste.

I have bought from 2Pier, Spices or India .. and today just ordered some from 123Curry.
however the stuff I get is now a thin silvery grey fish (on one side at least) and I have tried various ways of preparing it .. and can't get it to the very crisp but not burnt finish.

Anybody any idea how to prepare this ? ...  I have tried shallow frying for various times .. and also tried soaking first in water - then frying.
