Been away from the curry scene for a while now trying to fit into my tuxedo for ballroom dancing (we came second in cha cha at the Australian open championships in November last year, whoohoo!). Now I've capitulated and had a month gorging on chicken phall and naan bread. Love this song and video starring the beautiful Makoto Iso.

Was that a Haiku?

Has he got a recipe with precise measurements?  :

It's all down to age Gav. 

Lol, thinner than my fat, pork sausage fingers Phil, obviously!

1 chef's spoon oil
2 onions, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 green chillies, chopped
half a red pepper, chopped
Add to pan and fry for a few minutes.
Add 500g of beef mince and fry till cooked.
Add 1tspn paprika, 1 tspn cumin seeds, 1 tspn dried oregano, 1 tspn salt, 1 tsp MSG, 1 tspn all purpose seasoning and 1 tspn of chilli powder or cayenne pepper.
Fry for about a minute.
Add in 2 thins of tomatoes and 1 tin of kidney beans and heat through Finally add in 1 tspn of dark chocolate.
Easy.

I finally managed to track down some Kashmiri chilli powder in Hobart (a major achievement) which is labeled as paprika.

Bizarre.

Don't use salt anymore. I use all purpose seasoning instead.

Good advice. CA's madras is ace.

Greetings from an ex-pat in Hobart. This place is great. I use the Taz base and mix powder, works every time. real BIR curry with the scent, the taste, everything.
