Topic: When you can't see the forest.

It is amazing that the journey into Indian cooking can actually lead you astray. I've recently been looking into the main Indian gravies, one of which is Makhani (my favourite).  I recalled having very good success with a particular book and revisited today.  The vegetable curry I prepared this evening was superb. Mridula Baljekar Real Balti Cookbook. Not surpringly, the other gravy in her book is Kadhai, (or OTM).

I prepared a half quantity of her Balti Makhani gravy this afternoon, with plenty of Kasoori Methi and I added Cashew and Char Magaz paste since it is often included in this gravy.  I cooked a vegetable curry using  this sauce and Hugo's base gravy.  The best aroma and flavour I've experienced in a long time.

Next I'll do some Syed Tikka for a CTM.  Can't fail.
