Fishy,

very good advice from Stephen and Razor. "not vital" sums it up. the high heat is not vital to produce a decent curry. to use the high heat ~7kw u really won't be able to cook in your kitchen - u will need to be outside or in a garage (there is too much smoke).

it really depends on u're passion. this post will hopefully sort of decide if for u.

for my wife curry is not a passion and what i produced in the kitchen was v.good. the 1st time i succeeded in the garage she immediately understood without the need for words.

thanks for that link Jerry very interesting, all i need to know there.
thats a really nice burner CA is useing i quess i'll be using that outside, if i go for something like that i'll set my mobile speed dial for 999

thanks Stephen, so would you recommend a smaller  burner say 5kw, as Jerry pionted out my kitchen may not cope with the 7kw and i can see his point, i suppose i can get the 7kw and just experiment until i burn my house down, but as you said its down to technique aswell.

Thanks guys,  Solarspaces link looks the right pan as the TA's.

ive noticed around my TA's that some gently fry and some flame fry, to be honest the TA that flame fry taste better IMHO,  im not sure if its for show or not as this TA that im referring too is not an open kitchen (i sneak a glimps throught the door and everything is on fire and smoking good),

anyway i will continue to experiment and take all advice on this great site

Thanks for all the links

Thanks Guy's, i will be reading with intent on gettin that real  BIR taste.

cant wait to try some of your bases and recipes,

Hi curry fans, just checkin out this great site, i love BIR grub, vindi, balti and jalfrezie are my favs.

first question:
what is the best base gravy recipe on here as there seems to be a few interesting ones, i use the melting base with quite good results but still cant get that proper strong BIR flavour, is it still a secret? or maybe im not cookin it right.

Thought i'de say hello
