One of us, forgotten who, did ask Az if he used GM in any dishes.  He said no only in the mix powder.

Has anyone posted the Az mix powder yet? or did i miss that one??

I found the amount of veg ghee ok Pete,

You know i dont think i have ever tasted a raw base gravy before? i mean never does that sound odd? i just assumed it [not this but all] would just taste bland/shite and not important as its just that a base as long the curry was to my liking it got the nod.

all done done and blended, yep veg ghee

Its bubbling away now i went with blended tin toms

By the way, on the subject of cooking lessons with Az, I would be up for an "advanced course" (if you want to call it that) but essentially a return trip to focus just on the final dishes and some veg dishes and maybe naans to cement what we learned this time, ask further questions arising from our own efforts at home and hopefully learn some of the finer points.

For me the most useful part of the lesson yesterday was the cooking of the final curries but it was also the point where I was most frazzled after 3 hrs or so and of course it all takes place so quick it's hard to take it in. With multiple dishes being cooked simultaneously it was hard to stay across the various dishes and understand their differences.  What would be an excellent would be to arrive after the prep is done so we have base sauce, pre cooked meat, masala sauce, etc all available and have more of a demo format, where Az cooks a dish then we attempt it ourselves. We can then eat as we go, or pack them into takeaway cartons to take home. I appreciate this would cost more as we would get through more ingredients in a session.

Well I'm just talking out loud anyway, would be interesting to see what anyone else thinks. And maybe after yesterday Az wouldn't want us back 

I agree by the end of the day it was hard to stay focused on everything that was going on.I'm hoping Az would be up for another lesson.I know he was a bit nervous but he did a great job and I think he enjoyed having us.Natterjack's idea seems a good one to me,I too would like a bit more practice cooking the final dishes.Maybee also making naan breads and onion bhajis as well.

now my ears have pricked up
