  No doubt someone on here won't be able to resist(I'm looking at you Haldi) and pay up for it so will look forward to a review.

Yep, you got me!
I'd buy it
I've got all the other curry books which don't work, so why not another?
Maybe there will be something that gets me what I want

Hey guys, what's happening?

Is this book written by a member of another forum then?

Is it just another scam?

Has anyone read the ebook or looked at the recipes?

Is it worth getting?
... or is everything about this ebook not a topic of discussion on this forum

More info please ...

I don't know what the content of this book is, but I believe it will contain extracts from the Real Curry Recipe website
This is run by a chap called Andy who originally posted on this site
Check out the "ten year" recipes here
There was a degree of doubt over the facts that he posted
He said he had worked in a restaurant for ten years and was sharing the recipes from that place.
However, a lot of the information seemed copied almost word for word from a previous curry article, already on the net by someone called "M"
This whole issue became a splitting point
Some people went to the other side
Some stayed here
Some check both

Did you know this is Andy, from the RCR site?

Happy New Year to Everyone!!

I tried this years ago
I put some ginger in a pot of compost in my greenhouse
Three months later I dug it up, and it was the same size!!
I had watered it, but it never grew

Black cardamon
Cloves
Green cardamon
and I think the end one is Mace
I bought some of that stuff for the Kushi Cook Book's curry base
I never used it again
It is sold in Asian supermarkets, but at the time I couldn't find any there.
I ended up getting it from Asda

Tasty post!!
Love the fresh chopped chilli across the top
It looks like some sort of chilli snake!
I had a bought mega hot curry on Friday
One of my kids bet I couldn't eat one as hot as he could

We drew

But, was it hot!!
I was blowing my nose, wiping tears from my eyes, perspiring on my top lip and tingling at the top of my head!
I think they put some cummin at the end of cooking too
Raw cummin was a definite flavour

I bet yours was just as hot with 6 bird eye chilli's and 4 tsp chili powder!!

I love to see the finished curries
Looks good!

Now the gobsmack ... It is not necessary to use a prepared gravy to achieve the BIR taste. ... and according to Raj, a better BIR taste can be achieved without using a gravy.

I hope that's true
I'm so looking forward to your posts

Do you or anyone else at this forum know of this restaurant, in Nottingham, I think they said?
Regards
George

Sorry George, I don't actually know this place
I believe it's in the town centre
I'm not happy going down there, these days
Things have got too rough

Anyone ever read the Tandoori magazine. Is it any good?

I subscribed to Tandoori for two years
I thought I might get some "inside" recipes
No luck
It does have recipes but these are upmarket new style curries
No mention of curry gravies
So I wrote to the editor (not Pat)
They were very pleasant but didn't really know much about cooking
I seem to remember that they thought most subscribers would know the "basics"
The magazine is packed with catering adverts
If you are interested, I have noticed that a lot of takeaways have a copy of the magazine in the seated area
Have another look, you might be lucky
