Hi guys,

Been reading this forum a fair bit the last few days as im looking to put the 'KD Curry Secret' book back up on the shelf and try a few recipes off here!

However, there are so many bases on here with so many mixed opinions I dont know which one to start with.  And then the same with the main dishes!

After much deliberation I think its either going to be;

Base - Admin new base / Bruce Edwards / Darths
Dish - Curry King Bhuna (with chicken instead) / Stew's Madras / Rajver madras

Please help me in deciding what to try first, all suggestions welcome  !

I do worry however that I am getting my hope up to much about how great and authentic it will taste.  I mean, I havent found a post yet that says "thats it, I have done it, it taste just like my local!"  Can I expect the fished result to taste anywhere near the real thing?

Finally, does anyone on this forum actually work in a BIR?  I know people have been in the kitchens and even learnt the recipes so thats the next best thing, but how come no one has got it %100 correct?  I read about the currys on here being %95 best!  Surely if you have been there and seen it, then followed the same recipe with the same ingredients, it cant be any different....  : ;D???

Forgive me for all my questions  :-[

I look forward to your answers,

Kind regards

Del

Hi there,

I have been browsing this forum for a while now but this is my first post!

Some great looking recipies here which I cant wait to try!

The best results I achieved up to now were from the base sauce and curries in 'Kris Dhillion's Curry Secret'  Which I have really enjoyed.  However, these don't quite taste like the curries I get from my local restaurants.  To be honest most of the recipies taste very similar to 

All I want to do is reproduce a curry just like the restaurant!!  ;D

So I have decided I may try the 'Darth' base this week and have a go at the Madras.  I have read good things, but can I expect it to be like a BIR curry or will I be a little disappointed?

My only question though, I dont quite want to make as much as there is, mainly because I only have a 5L pot!  Can I just half the recipie by halving all the ingredients and still use the same cooking times.... is that ok?

I also love chicken tikka Balti's, what is the best recipie to use?

I look forward to your replies,

Cheers
