Thanks Admin I went down Brick lane and had a great time wondering around the stores there and stocked up on a bunch of spices including a jar of Asafoetida which I couldn't find anywhere else, a tava and some of those stainless steel balti type serving dishes just like our logo.

I did wonder if I would have triggerred an MI5 investigation as I put the tava in my luggage at Gatwick.

The range of stores and goodies was fantastic however prices were higher than Glasgow

I took in the excellent Bengal Cuisine Resteraunt for a meal. They do a "Cook Your Own" session on Monday and Tuesday nights so could be worth a visit. I had Bhajis with the Yellow Sauce then Vegatable Dhansak and Spinach with Cottage Cheese with Paneer (outstanding, anyone got a recipe?)  with Pulou Rice.

On leaving the street at the Underground end there is a resteraunt with plate windows overlooking the chefs station so you can see right into the pot of base sauce (not as thick as the Dark Lord's) and I expect all the action when its open. An opportunity for someone to loiter with intent.

So thanks again Admin well worth a visit for anyone in or going to London.

Hi Layne,

Thanks for the recipe and photograph. Can you tell us how you made the yellow sauce? I was in Brick Lane the other day and had something similar it was new for me as you don't see it in Glasgow.

By the way I have substituted successfully Turkey meat for friends who don't like red meat. I just minced it in the food mixer and it worked really well.

More on Brick lane later.

Cheers

I am shocked at this and disgusted but at least you found out and lets hope their moderation team do the dignified thing. Our site now will hopefully pick up a fresh bunch of enthusiasts as a result and we can all benefit from this.

Keep the faith Darth, by the way I intend to thank you and others for the success of my curry nite on Saturday last once I can figure how to get the photographs posted along with my text.
