What a good idea, perhaps we should all gang together.  I emailed Ren yesterday.  She says that she can teach me how to make vindaloo, patia and dhansak, but it would not be quite the same as Indian restaurants because she does not use so much oil?  Aye!  My guess is that she probably cooks it authentic  i.e vinegar in vindaloo.

Ren, if you are there how about posting a recipe which would set us alight!

Method for Prawn Puri:-  Put atta flour into a bowl with ghee, salt.  Rub ghee into atta flour until it ressembles fine breadcrumbs.  Take 1oz of the prawns and chop finely and add to the atta and ghee mixture.  Mix with enough water to make a dough (not too wet!)   Knead dough for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover dough and let stand.  While dough is resting you can make the puree topping.  Fry garlic and mustard seeds in oil until garlic begins to soften.  Add remaining prawns, tomato puree and all the spices and cook on for a further 2 to 3 minutes on a medium heat.  PUREES   Knead the dough for a couple of minutes and then divide into 6 - 8 equal pieces.  Roll out into 3 to 4 inch rounds.  Deep fry puri, one at a time, for roughly one minute. turning over once during the process.  You will find that the puri will puff out!  Serve with prawns on top sprinkleld with freshly chopped coriander and a wedge of lemon.
Fresh chillies can be added finely chopped if required at the beginning of making the topping.

This is the Prawn Puree recipe requested. 
8 oz atta flour
2oz ghee
oil for deep-frying
4oz prawns
1 clove garlic finely chopped
1 tablespoon oil from top of gravy
1 dessertspoon tomato puree
salt to taste
2 tablespoon chopped coriander
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garam masala  Can't post anymore METHOD to follow

Hi all,  These "cook your own curry lessons" sound great but are they going to let you stand there with pen and paper writing the ingredients down?  Judging by the picture on website, it doesn't look as if the kitchen is very big, hence, if a group of us go they might get the knock with us with our pens and notepads!  What do you think?  I'm certainly up for it, how about others?

Hi,  your tandoori garlic chilli starter and other recipes sound great!  I would love to try some of them especially the starter.  So you like hot curries?

   Hi Mark J!  Can't seem to find the 100 Best Balti Curries anywhere at all reasonable.  Any ideas as I am not about to pay ?127 for it?  You couldn't possibly post a balti gravy and perhaps a prawn balti recipe for me, I would be eternally grateful.  Thanks.

Hi Pete,  Thanks for the link!   I suppose you have nothing to lose for ?1.50 have you really.   It does seem strange that someone else is selling it too, thats if it is the same.  Let us know if you do decide to purchase it.

Hi Pete,  This is an interesting one - I wonder?  Could you please post the link so that I can have a butchers.  Thanks.

Sorry Mark, I meant Amazon not Ebay.

Hi Pete,  Thankyou for your never ending knowledge - you have just saved me some money.  I has pre-ordered the book on Amazon and have now cancelled it.  Thankyou again.
