Hello fellow curryholics!
I've been cooking curries at home for about 15 years, and I can't believe this is the first time I've run across this site! Really looking forward to trying out some of your recipes, which are already looking amazing in the short time I've been browsing around the site. Thanks for the info and the community!

Hi again, and thanks for the warm welcome! Am very much enjoying the forum as I prepare my first curry from the collected recipes (This one: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1442.0 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1442.0))
976bar, I live in Ohio, but I actually did live in Tampa for a year - ancient days, back in the late 80s. Was just down in Florida 2 weeks ago to visit my dad a couple hours further south. It's a welcome break from the weather up here this time of year!
Cheers!

Welcome to CR0. Look forward to hearing about your results from the "belting balti" ;D . And pictures would definitely be a bonus. Enjoy the site and all it has to offer 8)

Interesting! It was pretty much a random choice, other than looking at the sub-categories and thinking "Hmmm, a Balti sounds good!" I did read that the cinnamon might be a bit much, so I took the sticks out before I gave the base its final blending. Didn't think I'd make much progress on them anyway, with my cheap immersion blender. Cinnamon did not come through as overpowering in the finished product.

It was excellent, and my kitchen still smells divine! IMHO, that's one sign of a real decent curry, when you can still smell it the next day, and it makes you happy. ;D Not much left to take pics of at this point, unless you want to see what's left of the base which is still in its pan, waiting to be stored somehow. I think that's a question for another area of the forum - freezing vs. canning. Hmmm.

Totally agree about the divine smell. My house always smells like an Indian Restaurant ;D. Freezing or canning? Mmm, don't think we've got anything about canning on the site. I can be wrong though ;). Most of us freeze any left over base as i don't think many, if any of us have the ability to can. Please tell us more ???

I'll have to give you my girlfriends address near Tampa, I've taught her how to make the meanest Garlic Chilli Chicken in Florida. She loves it!!!! lol :)

Hi Miss Lister, and a very warm welcome from across the pond here in sunny Manchester ::)
Glad that you have had success on your first BIR venture but you do realise that this is just the beginning? Before you know it, curry will be the first thing on your mind when you wake of a morning, and the last thing on your mind as you drift off to the land of nod ;D
Well done, and 'curry on'

I've currently got an addiction for brinjal bahji. Does that mean i need therapy ??? ::) Or is it just a side affect of the general curry addiction for which there appears to be no cure :'(

Oh, it generally is anyway! As mentioned in my intro, curry cooking has been rampant in my household for 15 years. It's a Sunday tradition to spend an entire day "currying" here. Thanks so much everyone for the warm welcome!
p.s. Razor, I spent a night in Manchester city last May, right before my flight back to the US - nice city, we enjoyed ourselves!

I do a lot of canning here; mostly tomatoes at the end of summer, because they are so abundant... I have canned curry bases in the past, just a basic hot-water bath, not even pressure cooker bath, and they remained completely edible two years later when I dug them out and threw them in a pot with some lamb.. I found one thread on canning on this forum, which was replete with cautionary tales, and I'm sure that the caution is warranted, but I will say that with limited freezer space, canning is very much a viable option if you can find the proper supplies such as lids, rings and a big old covered pot for boiling.
To quote Razor, "Curry On!"
