Just another caveat - the North / South Indians...the Sikhs , Hindus ,  Parsee  , Pakistanis , Nepalis and Bangladesh have moved on and adapted to change - so must we
in order to move on.....much like football isn't it !  :)

Hi JonL .
I have tried most of the commercial curry powders out there ... Bolsts ,  Sharwoods . Rajah , Third Party . Most are OK as are the self-prepped variety from Madhur Jaffreys , Charmaine Solomon or Camellia Panjabi....its basically a question of taste - I prefer to make my own . Curry Powder is in the same league as garam maslaa - lots of recipes - lots of different flavors...what do you like !!??
This is one of the ultimate problems on this forum... individuals site the use of a base sauces , spice mixes or garam masalas in their recipes , but don't tell you which of the former that they are using .This is a huge issue when trying to re-create a BIR . It is imperative that explicit instructions are given as to both ingredients and method when posting a recipe...generic terms are not satisfactory . Attention to detail is paramount ! When you post , cover all the bases ( North American term for do it right !  :) ) Include whose base sauce , spice mix , curry powder and garam masala that you are using . Subtle flavors can have a huge outcome on the end taste !

The format of this recipe seems to be more pseudo-authentic than BIR...but thats OK...it's a good un !
But just as an addendum...which spice mix and which base sauce would you suggest ? The two former would influence this dish immensely . Attention to detail is imperative when attempting to re-create " the taste " .

Hmmm...paprika...interesting concept.... an ingredient that is used in central Europe & Spain but not often seen in Indian cooking . I have been a strong proponent of Bruce Edwards....but  do have my doubts - do you use hot or regular paprika . This would ultimately influence the dish....or would you be better served adding more chilies . Yet another indication of  how the end user has to both formulate and adjust recipes . Must admit that I have always omitted paprika and substituted chili powder . Chaa006 what  do you think ?
