Anyone can cook a curry and some people can cook a good curry. 

Some people can cook a bad curry and some of those who cook bad curries are BIRs, I've tasted them. Some people can indeed cook good curries and some people can indeed cook excellent curries, some of them are on this forum.

cheers Gents!

Well I don't know if this is the perfect Punjabi Masala but my take on it is pretty close to the ones I've tasted locally (North East Scotland) and there are a few people on the forum who like it.

Not a dish I've heard of Garp but it looks good - keep tweaking!

I've never been convinced about the missing 5% theory and it seems on this forum to have taken hold somewhat. I have had countless curries in my area that were so poor that there has been a missing 25% plus. I've been cooking curries for some time now that I think are better than most BIRs in my area apart from two particular restaurants. I think it's also unreliable to judge a curry from its recipe because no recipe takes into account the skills of the person cooking it. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I'm a BIR chef, but my curries have been getting better and better over the years to the point where I'm now satisfied I'm producing consistently good curries, and ones that those who eat them rave about.
