It is a grey area, but my impression of this site is, a voluntary forum for people of the world to talk about Bir & authentic Curries & i might add to make new friends through our mutual Curry making goals, weather it be to produce a exact copy of your local Take-away/Bir &/or to be able to cook fine Authentic Curry cuisine With the added bonus of an Oriental Authentic & Take-away style section. ;D

But we all have our own perceptions, being able to view your own & others with equality, humility & tolerance is the trick to keeping it all heated yet positive (as goes with the World in general).
A tip i have learned is to think about what you are saying before you post it & try to make it come across in a positive light as it is very difficult to convey emotion, regardless of emoticons.
If we are going to do it right there are many pointless threads/posts by all of us that could be deleted to make this site less convoluted, but is would be a task & a half, also who is to judge the validity of a post ?
So stuff that in ya Curry base & fry it  ;D ;D.

Ive told you before those of us that have turned to the Darkside don't do group hugs, we do mind hugs  ;D.

Your ever evil & Dark companion.
.....DARTHPHALL.....

Back on the subject of taste smell, i did an experiment with Spices yesterday & it seems that if you just chuck them in & cook for just a few minutes they are really evident in your Curry,(potentially & logically a Bir can use less this way) do you all think that all our cooking in various ways could be a wrong concept & that we should just warm the base bung in the Spices cook for say 3-5 Min's & thats that.
And has anyone found that Chilli powder loses its heat with cooking longer & is definitely less potent the next day although waiting next day does allow the curry to be tasty (but its that home-made tasty  no matter how nice it isn't Bir).
I get the feeling that you cant really get close to Bir taste unless you do a quick cook because of the way the Spices are affected by a quick fry & serve method, i will try some other experiments over the next few weeks, any ideas peeps?

I was hoping to get a list of ideas that would be of use to use & also there aren't that many who have genuine accounts of Bir Cooks, Also some of the info that is genuine doesn't always work for all of us.

I have set this thread out to genuinely be positive & hope to be helpfull to all,pointless?
It depends on your point of view on this, i ask if it helps anyone then perhaps its not as pointless, i leave it for members to decide as this is a community/forum & points of view,personal perception plays greatly here? 
But the important factor is that we can disagree yet still be able to carry on a civilised dialogue with those we disagree with which is a very positive aspect in our favor or is that Flavor. ;D
Anyhow i thank all of you for your opinions 

As i previously stated this thread really was to help us all put together a list of good pointers which will help us all get closer to our goals as this site is hoooogmungious!
So keep em flying in members & perhaps when this is exhausted we can post the info in the hints & tips section & delete this one or keep it for the amusement of others  .

Or you could Give yourself to the Darkside! ;D
Failing that Cp & Layne could throw you into the Darkside naked & with child. ;D

These aren't "Anal"! toys are they ? 
Sorry in advance but I'm in a silly mood tonight (Again)  ;D

It is the only way my young apprentice  & together we can end this destructive conflict & bring order...AHEM sorry  :-[ ;D

I value Cp's Input greatly & so do many on this forum, he has injected some fresh debate & new ideas & of course has given a good excuse to use the word "ANAL"! 
Woks up go to your room  ;D ;D Lol.

Glad this has made members post (as i suspected it would & that was the intention  ).
The idea behind this post was to get you peeps telling me your opinions so that we could collate them all & make a more precise & usefull thread with a collection of good solid points & guidelines in one clear thread to help new & old members in "The Quest"!
Thanks & keep posting , the more the merrier  ;D.

Thanks everyone so far for getting more points in, we need more i forgot most of them
