Hi Bob-A-Job, thank you 

This looks beautiful! Why is it I always get hungry when I read recipes & look longingly at pictures on this site 

Trying this tomorrow, after lamb shopping, thanks!

Hi Livo, I'd love to see your recipe! Yes we had it as a starter really, all three of us fed on one portion, it reminded me of popcorn chicken, the Indian version! My friends replicated it a few days later & did a grand job, however as a main course it was quite rich

Hi Tai
So you already made spiced oil and base gravy. step 1.
Why not try a Madras, a fairly straightforward cook
Use fresh or precooked chicken, cooked in plenty of spicy gravy.
Have a look at my video recipes to get the idea.

Hi Steve,

I think we have both found the ideal place to home in & enjoy our curry experience! Happy cooking 

Hi Steve

I'm a newbie here too, joined a few days ago & am amazed at the knowledge to be found within the site and helpfulness of other members.

I came over to Australia 16 years ago. At that time getting hold of any ingredients bar Sharwood's pastes were near impossible (I was out in the back of beyond though). Nowadays its much easier, especially where I've moved to. I truly miss the BIRs in the UK.  I cooked Chewy Tikkas chicken Madras last night witch turned out really really good! I used the base gravy quite thick to emulate the British style of Indian cooking.

Hi Livo,
Thanks for the address re the store in Wallsend. I shall definitely visit on Tuesday. Yes the aroma at Raj corner is something else! Even if you'd just had a big breakfast you'd be drawn in. Last Feb I went to stay with some friends in Sydney, we curried out for 4 days. They took me to a whole street where anything was obtainable, the supermarket there was huge. I'll have to ask Urmila where it was, perhaps it was where you mentioned? We had a takeaway curry from a small shop, it was called '

Hi Livo, that's where I go (Raj's)!!  I eat first of course & then shop. Its a small world  I didn't know of the one in Wallsend do you know the road its on? I'll check it out when I go on Tuesday. Soldiers point is lovely, the whole bay area is quite beautiful isn't it. I'm very happy to be by the water again. I missed it living so far inland.

WOW this looks amazing! I could learn to love salad having a bowl of this, I'm going to make it this evening with the two chutneys I have available, lime & onion. Thanks for the recipe & the pictures are such a help!! Thanks Chewy

Hi again, thank you for your helpful replies!

I don't know how to respond to messages individually (or even if I can) .......... lots to learn I'm new to forums.

Livo I started out at Coonabarabran, then Nyngan, then Parkes. Now am back in civilization in the Nelson Bay area. I've found an Indian grocery store in Newcastle which has helped me to up my game 

Thanks Phil, the 'phoolproof curry looks awesome and on the to do list!  When I woke up this morning the house smelled amazing after all the prep. Raring to go  ;D

Chewytikka thanks so much for the recipe/video, this shall be my first foray using the seasoned oil/base gravy.
