Hello to all you Curry Pros.
Ive heard Rajah Gold Curry Powder mentioned qiote a few times as the powder that most BIR's use. I cant find it anywhere in less than 2 x 10 kg bags.
Does anyone know where its available in any lesser quantity or any suggestions of any others that fit the bill. My local asian grocer stocks a lot of Rajah powders but not the gold one.

I have seen Darths threads that indicate that scwartz & other readily available powders will suffice but I have also seen other comments indicating that this is maybe not the case.
.
Bruce only mentions (in the article i have read) that true indian origin curry powder should be used, but he doesnt say which one(s)
I have seen "Bolst" ones in my local asian grocers. Are they any good. ???

Any help would be appreciated.  :)

Hello to all !!!
Ive been trawling the net for months looking for BIR recipes. I cant believe I only found this site yesterday.

Ive tried a lot of Pat Chapman recipes, that Curry secret book (which seemed so complicated, it felt like a wind up!) & more recently the one from the NATCO site.
How do you pros rate the NATCO one.

Its the best thing Ive made so far, but I cant really say its a good replica of a BIR. Its not far off though, but (not being an expert) i couldn't say what its lacking.

Ive loaded up with the extra ingredients I need to try Darth's 100% Madras & also Terry's (ifindit4u) version also. I am going to start tomorrow. Next on my list is probably Curry Kings Chilli chicken massala (my favourite from my local)

It drives my wife mad as I cant really get excited about any other food style & eat spicy food, mostly Asian, most of the time.

This site is by far the best resource Ive found. Like I say earlier I must have been a mental block when doing my searches as ive never hit here before.

Ill let you know how my first attempt goes.........  ;D
