Where Do I Start!
« on: May 21, 2007, 04:37 AM »
Hi All,

I thought it might be helpful to provide some directions for those who are new to cooking British Indian Restaurant ("BIR") curries and/or are new to this forum.  Here's what to do and where to look (just click on the links):

Using this Forum to Cook a British Indian Restaurant Curry

Step 1:  Arm yourself with the necessary basic ingredients - see here: https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1766.0.  You may need additional ingredients for your selected curry base, main course dish and starters and side dishes

Step 2:  If you want to make your own curry powders ("spice mix") or garam masala, rather than buy those that are commercially prepared, look here: https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=28.0

Step 3:  You will need to make a curry base ("curry gravy" or "curry sauce") - see here: https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=2.0

Step 4:  ]Prepare your pre-cooked meat using one of the methods here:  https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=28.0

Step 5:  Select main course recipe from here: https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=3.0

Step 6:  Select starter and side dish recipes from here: https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/board,73.0.html

Step 7:  Post pictures of your results here!: https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=10.0

Hope this helps!   8)

Since CA is no longer around, maybe one of our senior members could update these links?

Seniority won't help -- the only people who can update them now are George & Stew (no-one else has privilege so to do).

I meant senior as in cooking ability/reputation as opposed to seniority in the ranking of the site.

Maybe yourself, CH, CT, SL, Rob, and others could get together and agree on a welcoming starter thread for complete newbies
