Didnt have "the taste" but i believe the secret of a good curry is in actual cooking of a final curry- eg temprature, when to add right ingredients,flames.....

Me too

PPS:  I see Mark J has a picture of his tava here (so to speak!  :P:o

Ooer!  ;D

Tavas are great for doing breads, the trick is to get the stupidly hot on a gas ring first before slapping the bread on and sticking it under a throbbingly hot grill. I guess the heat is approaching that of a tandoor when using this method.

Sadly the shop on ebay where I bought mine has gone out of business, and you are right les mine is very large indeed!

I thought the recipes were variable, the base sauce is good but doesnt make a huge amount.

Some Ive tried have been excellent (achar) and some not so good

Bang on PH, if we cook it it will never live up to our expectations

Hi panpot, I think you're bang on here and its a topic we've debated hotly over the years!

There does seem to be a desensitisation going on when you cook a spicy meal that you dont get with other forms of cooking IMHO
