I tell you what, I've been at this for hours doing the base, banjara and garlic ginger paste. My house is absolutely reeking! ;D I have high hopes - and pictures.

I know the feeling, I reckon that lot took me about 7 hours, I think the neighbours think there's a restaurant opening next door.

Thanks Josh,

I haven't tried any of the sites other Bhuna recipes yet as I have been concentrating on Madras. I might try a Madras next based on some of the ideas earlier in this thread.

I've just finished cooking the base (Half Batch), the G&G paste, the Bunjarra and then finally the Bhuna and I must say it was LOVELY!

I cooked everything exactly to the letter, except I used a 4 inch piece of Cassia in the Bunjarra because I didn't have any Cinnamon sticks and home made Garam Masala where called for.

I was a bit concerned about the Bunjarra because it was more of a reddy brown than 'brown sauce' brown, i'm thinking that might be because I added too much pureed tinned tomatoes (I added 4 tbsp based on Jeeras answer earlier in this thread).It still tasted fantastic though!

Once again, thanks very much Panpot! 

Here are some pictures:

Currymonster, I have now corrected the origional post of recipes it took me hours and I now realize I had made a few mistakes so it was One chefs spoonful. Fantastic stuff cheers Panpot

I appreciate the effort you've put into this Panpot and I really want to make the recipes, the thing is I don't know how big a chefs spoon is and I don't want to ruin the recipe with the wrong amount of garlic\ginger paste.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer, what size is a chefs spoon?

Panpot, how much garlic/ginger paste did you use for the Bunjarra?

Great stuff!

I'm going to have to try these soon.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer, what size is a chefs spoon?

Anybody got a good recipe for Precooked Turkey?  ;D

CurryMonster thats the one.
50 Great Curries of India, Camellia Panjabi.

At times it comes with a DVD in the back cover.
I have never obtained the DVD version.

IMHO it a good book, its not full of BIR false promises
etc. Its a cook book. Good for anyone starting out to cook
Indian food, It gives results some good some not so good.
(ask me what you should try first if your stuck)

NOTE...
1) this book comes in either A5 or the older A4 size!!
   All books seem to have the same errors but with some thinking
   you can work things out.
2) A list of errors with this book was posted on this site.

The A4 and now the A5 books are 99% the same book.

A5 size...http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Curries-India-Camellia-Panjabi/dp/1856265463/ref=pd_cp_b_0?pf_rd_p=212521391&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1856263800&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0RHGEC1DYW7HYPTGGHVD
