I have no idea where you get this notion of Punjabi BIR chefs adding raw ginger to a finished dish. Having eaten curries in Scotland, and elsewhere for at least 35 years I have never heard of, or indeed, tasted this.
Curryisnice Indian / Pakistanis cooks using ''Chinese' chip shop curry mix for bir dishes?Highly unlikely. Think you may have too fine a palate.Do you reckon you could tell a Bengali gravy from a Punjabi one by ingredients or taste?I reckon you couldn't ELW

It still requires further blending in my experience but is definitely capable of replacing a home-made base.** Phil.Shaheen Balti Masala Paste or Shaheen Onion Masala 175g to make a Dopiaza? which type of curries can be made with these two? The owner said to use Shaheen Balti Masala Paste for a Dopiaza and NOT a Shaheen Onion Masala ! Do you think thats right? if so what can a Shaheen Onion Masala be used to make?Talking about BIR here in the West of Scotland I have ordered a couple of currys recently and I could tell right away they used the curry sauce you get with Curry sauce and chips at your local chippy which is just a packet of chip shop curry sauce powder and you just mix it with water!!! then they just added the chicken, onion or whatever vege! can you even believe that??!!! Not to mention the countless places that use frrozen chicken which is so rubbery and awful I had a madras curry (so called) in Essence in Broadheath Altrincham lasy year. It was basically tomatao ketchup with a couple of spices thrown in. Absolute crap. I gave them a corresponding write up on Tripadvisor. The owner was not best pleased at my suggestion he sacked the chef - better still he should taste the crap they are serving under the disguise of Indian meals. I directed him to the Jai Kathmandu in Northenden to make a taste comparison - not World, but Galaxies apart

There are more falsehoods in that post than a Tweet from Trump.There are many Bangladeshi 'Indian' restaurant around you, although I have found their dishes rather bland. But I guess it's what you are used to. Many more Pakistanis than Bangladeshis have settled in central Scotland through the years and that is why the Punjabi-style curry house is prevalent. My only suggestion, if you can't find any curry houses you like, and it means so much to you that you choose to post such, to be honest, insulting remarks, is that you relocate to NE England and live happily ever after.
