Hi,

I think so, but I also used Jalpur curry powder instead of the normal rajha one.  I must admit though that  both curry powders had a similar smell. The masala had a different smell to my usual one though. As I said earlier it is all about ones preference, experimenting is the only way to get what you personally prefer. However,  without the excellent work by many on this site one would not feel confident to start experimenting. I look forward to every post by JB because of his passion and his desire to share his journey.

Just my personal opinion, this is all about individual preference.This combination gave me something very near to the curry I am used to in my local area. It may not be for everyone, but was for me.

Hi,

Yes I used Jalpur masala and used 2 desertspoons instead of 1. I have used several Julian's, CBM etc, but I would say this is the best so far! It provides the after taste in your mouth after finishing that the others did not. I used it with JB,s base gravy with the garlic on top but going to try his other base gravy today or tomorrow, just as a comparison and because I have run out of my freezer stock. I made a Vindaloo with the following:
2 teaspoons of g and g paste
5 desertions of watered down tomato puree
Teaspoon of methi
2 teaspoons of mixed powder _ will increase to 3 next time
Quarter teaspoon of salt
Quarter teaspoon of black pepper
1 tablespoon of chili
1 cap full of white vinegar
I teaspoon of coriander stalks
Squirt of tomato sauce
Teaspoon of suggar
Corrinander to finish
Base gravy

Just tried this mix powder in a Vindaloo, but used Jalpur curry powder instead of the one recomended. It was a vast improvement on the previous mixed powders I have used.

Are you going to post the recipie?

Hi,

Have you tried to make the base gravy from this restraunt yet?

I would also like to say how impressed I am with the work JB is doing, especially as just started on this site. JB do you think the chef will give you a full list of ingredients?

Hi,

Anyone got a recipie for this? I always get this as a starter from the Star of India in South Shields

Which make do you use Bob?

Hi,

Made that on Tuesday, good but I am going to try the Zaal one next time. I am going to try the JB one with a new mixed powder first though as mentioned earlier.
