everything looking great. apart from the yellow colouring in the rice (personal taste, of course)

Which rice brand/type do you use? It appears to be a long grain variety, am I right?

would you not be able to make your own tomato powder from sundried tomato Bob?

Sun dried tomato paste...I bet that'd add a unique flavour to a curry!

Indeed, but it could be worse... :D

If it's as thick as the base gravy, it will surely represent excellent value !

Indeed Phil. I'm hopeful!

I can see he's lost a bit of alfred. Must've been off the curries for a while.  ;)

It's from climbing up the walkie talkie tower with his chef spoon carrying just the antenna and of course, a foil container of adey's magic vegetables for a healthy snack.

I cringed a little when I saw the thickness of their base gravy... looking forward to the ebook nevertheless

I was pleased to hear Sam say that the use of Patak's pastes started about 20-25 years ago because that puts it right around 1990 which is exactly when I started to notice the slide toward today's evil concoctions that everybody seems to love.

I feel vindicated in my assertion that Patak's ruined the BIR curry and feel sorry for those that never have and probably now never will taste a true BIR curry.

Good question for the chefs of yore that may have changed to pataks since. If they use patak these days they may not feel there is a huge risk in disclosing the recipes to the actual pastes

EDIT: reached a 1000 posts, join me later in celebration, the curry is on me!  :P  ;D ;D

When I've trawled the internet, the best I can find is a review that refers to it as being somewhere between a madras and a vindaloo, other than that it just shows menus with it listed.

Call the place and say you are undecided between a Madras and a jaijushi and ask them whether they can describe the differences between the two.
