the garlic and ginger paste recipe i was given is just equal parts garlic and ginger mixed with a little water and oil thats it.

As i said i had a trawl through the mixes and found it was the same as a few of them. But as I'm sure allot of BIR's use the same recipes for certain things, it doesn't suprise me that 2 or 3 use the same mixes And to be honest i have memorised dips spice mix when i made it so hence the order it is in. I will ask him about it when i next see him as to why he has not created his own as ill ask the millions of other questions i have for him lol

chopped coriander
2 chefs ladles of curry base

Add the oil then add ginger and garlic paste, tom puree, and spices folowed by meat of choosing. Fry for a few seconds then add salt fenagreek and base cook for a few mins then add coriander.

There really is no order to the way it is cooked as i was told just put it in a pan and cook it for a few mins till hot. So use what u no to cook it and happy eating ;D

The base is on the hob now cooking away and some pics have been taken so will post them up. I try them diet things but only ever last a few days lol. I have been sworn not to tell but i can tell its in aylesbury just on the outskirts. i have korma, madras and bhuna. and part of a tikka masala recipe but need to ask him a few questions on that one as i think i wrote the recipe down wrong. i am also trying to get a dopiaza off him. and i also have a spice mix, pre cooked onion and pepper recipe and garlic and ginger paste to type up. Ill post them all as soon as i can.
