Does anyone really like Indian food and have a recipe so I won't have to buy curry sauce in a jar?
Have you tried Epicurious or any of Madhur Jaffrey's cookbooks?
Recently I made Korma, Makhani and Tikka Masala from adapting/modifying recipes from these sources. I tend to mess with things.
Next week I'm making Lamb Do Piaza. I shall report on whether it came out well or not. I'm thinking of using a mandoline on the onions.
i love Korma! I just eat to much of it. I usually like spicy though, it seems to agree with me better for some weird reason (for some reason, I'm different ffrom mos people in this way. If I have a cheese pizza I can be sick as a dog, but if I have a 5-alarm curry I feel fine ???
You could try making some flatbread in a pan, its quite easy.
It just needs some flour, salt and water ( and maybe some oil), let it stand for 30 min, then make some round flat doughs either with a stick or put some dough in a hot pan and flatten it with a wooden scoop. The pan should be quite warm (don't let it get too hot), no oil is used. Turn in time, it should have brown not black spots :).
Some lentils with onions, and further spices to taste, goes well with this, for example.

I use the spice mix packets from the Indian store... Sorry I thought everyone did that? :)
I have a dedicated coffee bean grinder that I use for spices as well as a mortar/pestle. I roast, mix and grind everything to order.
There's an Indian store? Good to know, I'll have to look for one.

Yeah around here it,s subzi mandi or Patel brothers. I think next time I will go in a sari or shalwar.
Not only food but they also have almond oil, Amla oil (if you use that) and fair and lovely cream.

I did some looking around, and recently a middle eastern food store opened near me so I can buy yummy Indian treats again :P
I picked up some Paneer to make Saag Paneer (one of my favourites) although I may be allergic to mustard, which is pretty important for the Saag...
I do my own from scratch,have 3 recipe books but the best one the wife still has. did a nice veggie curry the other week and still have a pot in freezer .Having trouble finding some stuff like mustard oil and fenugreek seeds
