The restaurant and takeaway I have seen in action didnt use a paste and probably stir fried spices for no longer than 30 seconds, its all about technique

After I have cooked a curry I tend to stand outside for about 5 minutes to clear my nostrils before I eat it

Excellent, glad it worked out pete. For curry powder I used the restaurant masala mix from the curry house cookery you posted. (And for the curry powder element of that I used sharwoods medium curry powder).
Both chefs gave me some flannel about it being their secret spice mix (I thought at the time "yeah right, straight out of a rajah or east end packet" ;D)

Cant say I had a problem with KD's base sauce, I think the book is out of date now but one of the more usable things from it I think is the base.

Just made this again and it was awesome, even better than the first time I made it.
Differences this time were: I forgot to put the fresh tomato in, I used ghee and veg oil and used pasata instead of tomato puree.
