Hello everyone my name is Pat ( Male Patrick) and I love cooking. Always used tins, pastes etc before. I know I know its a sin so thats why I'm here to learn from everyone how its done properly.
I've been shopping and got my basics:
Ginger, garlic, fresh chillis, cumin, corrinder, turmeric, garam masala,ghee, curry powder, chilli powder and cardomom seeds ( although not sure what thats for )
So am I ready to go or am I missing some more basic stuff.
Looking forward to chatting to everyone and lets get started !

Cheers.      Pat
