Excellent !! 

If you don't mind, could you post your Chicken Tikka recipe also. Thanks.

  You all might be interested in trying some other types of indian food.
By the way, my name is Payal.

Hi Payal, I'm keen to see these authentic recipes. Fire away.................

Looks spot on. What was it like ?

Good luck - I've been doing that for a while and thinks it makes a difference, but not the final step either.

Have you tried the coconut in any other final dish ? Does it give these dishes the extra push towards the taste ?

Nice work there Ray. Got this doc file stored away.

PS. I reckon this base and the one posted by MarkJ are about the best - I don't think we can get much better bases than these as I beleive the real secret is in the final dish and the method of cooking it.

Look forward to you sharing your experiments on the final dishes.......

Cheers.

There are a few "authentic" curry shops dotted around, but you need to seek them out. Which area do you live and maybe someone can help you locate a good one  ?

I've got to disagree with you on American food - surely not. Any Indian food I've tried in the US has been worse than any Indian food I've tasted in the UK - authentic or otherwise.  I totally agree the majority of Indian Restaurants here don't offer up authentic Indian food but we've become acclimatised to the 'Restaurant' taste - with tons of onion and garlic.

While we're on the quest for 100% Indian Restaurant taste, maybe you could post a few Authentic recipes ?? What about some starters ?

this one sells sauces and does demos

Pete, I use BSPlayer to play these files but you still need AVI codec (eg the Divx codec in this case) to decode the file and allow it to play.

Player -> http://www.bsplayer.org/

Codecs -> http://www.free-codecs.com/FFDShow_download.htm

If you install both of these, you should  be up and running. CK is right about using the Divx codec for this particular file, but the FFDshow program allows you to playback loads of different formats in addition to Divx (eg xvid).

Hi all,

I've converted DVD 1 & 2 to a 800mb DivX AVI file for easy download. This is available via the torrent format.

PS. Thanks again for the DVD Ray.
