.....When your mates think your running an illegal takeaway in your flat due to the smell..he he

Great well thought out post Ian. S,

Just picking up on your point about Brown Gravy, i ordered a takeaway on Sat (Prawn Balti) the sauce was very dark brown, thick and had a really strong beefy oxo type taste and smell.  Not very enjoyable at all.

I have never seen this before and it does not work. 
In addition the girl had a Chicken Rogan, which again did not have the tatse at all.  Very dissapointing and I really believe i could have done a better job.

Well done Woodpecker21 its good to see new variations and recipes on the base.
I still have not contributed from a chat to a curry man as yet but its on the cards shortly.

Great idea as well to add the curry house name and location.....

Dear All,

I just found this website through the google links at the top

http://www.anupamspice.co.uk/index.php

Its worth a look and maybe a gamble, as it appears they are a restaraunt selling spice mixes.
There are also some interesting recipes for Madras and online Video's demostrating the cooking process.

I can't view the videos yet but if some one else does please report back.
It might be worth giving this a go?

Any thoughts

graeme,

A lot of the dishes he makes are traditional, not what we would purchase in a takeaway.
I learned a lot from his show and watch it all the time on the cooking channel.  In addition i also think "Coconut Coast" is a really good show and more up to date....you can learn a lot from that as well...

CK,

I have been using the Jars you can purchase in Tesco, both Garlic Puree and Giner Puree.  Ive never really bothered with fresh and i am happy with my results.
Its only like ?2 for a jar.
