maybe patio sounds better 

Can I use rump steak in an indian curry and much appreciated if anyone has any recipes,needs
to be mild ones without the chillies.I have made a batch of the base curry and want to know what
spices I can add for the beef curry.thanks

here is the bhuna/rogan josh recipe

2 large de-seeded tomatoes
2 tblsp onion chopped
2 tblsp finely grated green pepper
1 heaped tsp mild mixture(coriander,paprika,fenugreek,turmeric and ginger) all mixed together.that is your mild mixture.
tsp coconut
4 tblsp oil
1 portion of cooked chicken or meat.

this was the bhuna recipe i used to make my curry but was a bit bland,actually tasteless,i tried chilli in it,too hot,i also tried adding garam masala too,there is something missing from it,dont know what it is.

yes i know,cant remember where i got this recipe,but it was on here somewhere,i dont think al be making that one again,sure is basic.its in the pot just now.think i will need to add more spices to it.the base i normally make is the one with the 8 onions in it and oil,carrot,green pepper,tomato puree,plum tomatoes,garlic and ginger puree,cumin,coriander,turmeric,salt,garam masala optional.i got this base perfectly,this sure is my favourite.i make my own spice mix up too.cheers

Hi ghanna,

Yeah it was lucky I kept hassling him for the recipes and he turned round and said I will come round and show you!!

There was no fenugreek leaves in the gravy and none in the vindaloo.

Another thing he didnt mention any measurments at all, it was a bit of this a lttle of that, also I missed out salt, he put put some in at the begining and more after it was blended.  For the spices it was approx a heaped desert spoon of each execpt garam masala which was under half that.  Oil was about 500ml and water as needed, 8 onions, 1 carrot, 1 tin of toms and 1 pepper.   If anyone trys it please post back, ive just got another batch on the go.

yes i also made it to,actually going to have a curry with the base tonight but needing help as when i made a bhoona with that base the last time it was tasteless the curry.only thing i didnt put into my recipe was coconut,should that have made a difference?
