Cheers Gav. I might have difficulty getting the ingredients for the spiced oil in time. Can I just use an off the shelf alternative? (if they sell that in the supermarket that is)

Not much point putting spices into a base sauce if there's no carrier for them or anything for them to dissolve into.This is why (in my opinion) BIR style curry nearly always uses a lot of oil and why the resultant takeaway dishes are often swimming in it.BIR style cookery and dishes aren't exactly the the most healthy out there. But it's because of all that oil the dishes taste so yummy!Rubbish
