but can't get the 'intensity', 'strongness of flavour' 'savouriness' (all curry addicts will know what I mean!).

Thanks!

Chris

Yes we know exactly what you mean  :

We refer to this as THE TASTE a very common phrase we use on this forum.

Dai Where by do you live ?

In Newport Yes "Massala Bazar" I go there regular for my Lamb on the bone (Halal) the other 2 are in Pill you know where the main police station is ? go down that road and there is "Abdul" continental shop opposite kwik Save then further down opposite side of the road is "Clare's" which is pretty good but as you say "Massala Bazaar" is Excellent Coriander 3 bunches for ?1.00.

Anyway Dai yes we must have a Pow Wow sometime and swap ideas OK.

do you buy your spices online or locally.
Dai

Hi Dai
I have about 3 Indian / Continental shops near me (30mins drive) and they have every brand of Spice/ingredient/Halal product anyone could ever need (thank goodness)

Remember to buy your Spices in small amounts often !

Has any one heard of the brand named "East End" i visited my nearest Indian supermarket, they had some things in "TRS" others in "Rajah" and other in "East End", a young girl there said that it was a good make so I had a few things to try.

Dai
I always buy "TRS" I must say they are all pretty good but I love the "TRS" brand full stop !

Their Spices seem to have a more vibrant colour and I think they keep their flavour longer.

I use "TRS" Popadoms and they are totally Superior to all other brands (and believe me I tried them all) they fry superbly  and there is definitely a significant difference in taste compared to others

Go for the "TRS" brand and you won't go far wrong. (but that's only my opinion)
Layne

Yep Iv'e got to agree with CC that rice looks spot on 

You have not gone heavy handed with the food colouring well done hope it tastes as good as it looks.

Hi Everyone.
Here is my Mola fish curry I made tonight I'm told it's very popular with Indian folk particularly Bangladeshi.

As you can see they are a very small species of fish I find them a lot like Sardines or Pilchards they are quite boney but you don't really notice the bones because they are very brittle all in all a very nice fish flavour to the Curry.

The next species I'm going to try is Kelski

I have already tried Ayre and Boal ( also Bangladeshi )  which is more like our cod and they are very tasty if I cannot get them I will use Hake or Cod as you can see I just lurve fish Curry Oh yes !
Layne

Erm So I wasn't seeing things !

I cannot for the life of me understand why you have taken such a dislike to my reference (generalizing) of Indians making tea ?

Chill out  for heavens sake

You'll no doubt be trying to tell me next that the teapot found in many Indian households toilets is for making tea and not for washing arses ha ha only a joke ;D.
