I am not familiar with forums and at my age find it difficult (impossible ?) to understand all the jargon !  I wanted to 'introduce' myself, but although your site encourages a new member to do so there seems to be no clear instruction how to do this !! Maybe I'm just beyond it ?
Best regards,

Hello curry comrades, I was looking on line for any authentic recipes so that I could cook a curry other than the one and only in my repotoire. I fell upon this forum, but having looked at it I am very unsure as to where to get a full recipe. I have a good range of spices etc that I use for my chicken curry, including fennel seeds, corriander seeds, cassia bark, black and green cardomons etc. In the town where I live there are a couple of very good asian supermarkets where I purchase my spices, garam flour and the like and I do make my own onion bhajis and samosas but as I have mentioned I am unsure and a little confused as to where on the site to find a recipe for a beef or lamb curry, medium hot to serve 4 bods using my store cupboard stuff. As well as the above mentioned stuff, I have in the cupboard, creamed coconut, cashew nuts, lentils, almonds, pine nuts, tinned tomatoes and fresh, curry powder, chilli powder, turmeric, saffron, medium curry powder, hot curry powder, paprika, cloves garam masala, cumin seeds, fresh ginger and the usual onions etc. Please can anybody give this poor simple soul a recipe that uses some of these ingredients which will stop my husband being bored out of his mind, (he says he loves the curry I do but much as it is very very nice I need to move forward and try something else). I cook in a cast iron wok. Help

Morning, me again. I think I have found something on your site. I should have been looking at the authentic recipes not the BIR. I would still welcome any suggestions though. Your site seems to be fun and full of genuine curry lovers who wish to share.

Hi everyone. I'm new to all this business of cooking BIR curries. I've have 2 attempts so far using a basic Madras recipe off here and I was really surprised how well it came out. I didn't think it was possible to make restaurant style curries at home. So I was really excited to hear about this forum on Jims Beer Kit where a lot of the memebers are also on here. This forum has a wealth of information and I'm enjoying reading through it all. If not a little daunted.
