;)Thanks Naga for the moral support,the Saltire says it all.Next base I do reckon should have chopped turnip in the blend,I think.Voltarol is good stuff particularly for thumbs and dodgy hip,so will keep using.Have to try turmeric and ginger.I have a dram and am writing a song about a curry loving ex circulated,who ain't giving any thing up.Cheers and thanks guys. Geoff

Nature of my trade,meant that being outside,stretching in lousy weather,or nosebleeders in wet trenches.Hence rheumatism/arthritis,curries have got to be good for me,haven,t they?
I keep taking the painkillers,there,s no way I would give up curries(all these spices are no good for you)!!!
My older relatives love them so that,s good enough for me.I still want to be playing guitar(badly),that,s

something I,m not giving up,plus the odd wee dram and Guiness.I seriously reckon thats not a bad diet.

Hi Alvidar.

They,re a knowledgable bunch,and will help if asked,not far off Staffords,Stourbridge.curry and balti country.
Good luck Geoff

Aldi seems the place to be,recently bought 12L Stock Pot,works well,good and solid ?19.99,good value I reckon.
Their Basmati certainly good price.Meats" Ashfield ",always look fresh and good price.

Thanks again guys,concensus says time against,so what I have done in past Ingredients :Whitefish,scallops and tiger prawns.one tsp cumin and coriander plau garam masala,a glug of groundnut oil,4 garlic cloves crushed,1 knob ginger grated.! green chilli chopped,8 curry leaves,1 and half onions sliced, 1can chopped tomato,half to 3/4 can coconut milk,squeeze lemon,4 dsps yogurt add pinch of all to rub fish.

Method: rub fish with spices.Fry ginger chilli and spices in the groundnut oil for a few mins,add onions until soft.Then add curry leaves and seasoning,stir in tomatoes 5 mins,add coconut milk 15 mins ish.

panfry fish, scallops prawns turn once,add to sauce with yogurt.Serve    Possibly a bit bland!!

Have tried the search box,to no avail,so can you advise the best base for Fridays fish curry.

Thanks all for your input,to be fair theres not too many Base recipes I have used that have stated their use,all comments noted and will be used accordingly.

Cheere Geoff

RGeoffeading a typical Base recipe have come across All purpose seasoning.What constitutes All purpose?

Phil, We have a quandary here,er indoors is in favour of Kris Dhillon,s base,the relatives over the Border prefer coriander powder in the base of curry they had whilst down here,although may be a beery response from them.
