Hi All,
              I've been hanging around on CRO for a couple of years so I think it's about time to say hello, well no, to say thanks really. The knowledge I've gained from this site has been amazing, I now knock up curries that I can be proud of.
I first got into making 'curry' dishes in the early 70's, my bog standard recipe was; fry up some onions (didn't use garlic then, only the French used that!!), add a chopped apple, a handful of sultanas, bung in some sort of meat, a tablespoon or two of 'curry powder', and a pint of stock (usually the dried stuff) and boil the life out of it, ... after a Party 7 it was quite acceptable, I thought it was quite exotic. My quick curry was to sprinkle dry powder onto a stew!!
So, for me, it's been a long journey to get where I am today.
I'm pleased to have found this site, I've learned a lot, it has all the info you would need to knock up a great curry.
It would be nice to see less squabbling, but I think that is the nature of forums, you don't hear the tone of someone
