If they are hosted on Vimeo, they no longer work for any of us, but if you look at the source code of the page you can find the real URL and then watch it directly on Vimeo; YouTube-hosted videos are still working fine, as far as I know.  Let us know the videos that don't work for you, and we can investigate further.

Welcome George !,

You don't need to worry about the Aussie currys now .. you can make your own BIR dishes with any of the great recipes from here ... good luck and let us know how you progress please   :)

Quite a few of us Aussies here, mostly ex pats (I was born in Pontefract) but quite a few home grown. Whereabouts are you?
I'm in SEQ but moving to North of Forster NSW in a month.

If you are just cooking for yourself and maybe the Mrs as well I'd seriously consider viewing Curry 2 Go's video about making a quick base gravy with fried onions, which is a great base to practice with.

Hi George, I'm on Bribie Island but shortly moving to Taree (Old Bar Beach) so likely we'll never meet up  :(

Mate have you tried the traditional Indian food at Maha Lakshmi's sweets and catering, opposite the Geeta Indian supermarket at the McWhirters centre in Fortitude Valley?

It's vegetarian but don't let that put you off. They can do things to the humble potato that makes you buckle at the knees. The food is nothing to do with BIR or AIR at all and it's always full of Indians eating there, and cheap as anything, nothing much over 10 bucks, they have three curries on offer each day which change during the week and they just chuck a small, medium or large at you, and also do Dhosas that rock.

If you go to Geeta anyway for your supplies be sure to pop in.

Cheers
Michael
