Welcome Ray !! 

I too use CA's base and many of his recipes too ... you'll find them easy to follow and great results time and time again ... good luck !!   

Welcome hantshog !!   

Welcome to cr0 Chris 

Good luck with your venture ... it'll soon change from hostel to restaurant once you start knocking up the recipes from here   

Agree with Jerry ... Axe's bhajis are great as are Cory Ander's ... you'll be pleased with either 

Two great looking currys there Jamie .. well done !!

Are the recipes for both on here please ??   

Welcome Mark ... you'll find that elusive curry on here and more !! ... good luck with your currys   

Blimey that's a great looking spread there ... well done !!

I look forward to your report on a whole chicken tikka !!!   

What did the (c)hubby think ??     

Two more great looking dishes from CA .. that mushroom pilau looks as though it should be in a good food magazine ... perfect !!   

I now only use the 'Maggi' coconut milk powder for Korma and CTM and it's a huge improvement over dessicated and flour ..both in taste and texture . I've never tried creamed coconut so I can't comment on it's merits or otherwise . I paid 11 quid for a kg of the 'Maggi' stuff and it seems to be lasting forever.   

Welcome to cr0 Potwash ... good luck with the chicken !!!   

Welcome too Steve from a damp miserable Slovakia !!

I hope we hear of your successes and pics are always welcome !!
