Right, this may be a bit spammy, but I love curry and until now I have never found a curry paste that does quick home curry making any justice.
These pastes are f'king wonderful, dead simple to use - following the basic guide on the label will have you a truly surprisingly awesome curry in no time.
I met this lady a few times now at our local food festival thingy and thought I best share, but held back on spam principles; but now she has a free recipe download, so it's not all spam it's a link to a free recipe guide. (Getting the recipe download is a bit convoluted, mind you, as they havn't got a real website man yet seemingly)

Let me know what you think! I normally add extra onions and some peppers and a touch more of yoghurt, the trick I find is to slowly sweat and brown the onions and keep it nice n thick throughout. The recipe in the package is literally 3 stage :)

But it's a right faff and the smell permeates everything for days and days - especially if you overcook the seeds slightly - easy to do on my shite electric top... But the risk is worth it when having people round. However, this paste is as good as any base I have ever made...

Pataks ready made sauces are pants, horrid. But the Tandoori Paste is fkn gorgeous, lemony, zingy, tangy and reasonably spiceh. Their pastes are much better than anything else they do.

An old friend of mine (whose parents, coincidentally, are both indian) cooked the simplest meal: salmon fillets covered with tandoori masala mixed with greek yoghurt. Left for an hour then baked.
Very, very nice indeed.

And fish curry is lovely.

The relentless piss-taking used to be entertaining. Now it just seems a bit odd. It should be closed for good.

Ultimate free range food, if you dont eat it another fish will.
Very good for you and environmentally friendly.
Nigel Slaters got some lovely recipes for smoked mackerel that you should check out.

wouldn't eat fish, because so much fish is farmed which is destructive on a crazy scale. It actually takes many fish to feed a single farmed fish, so it's actually insane.
That was his point anyway, made sense.
Add that the disease and pollution that comes with the intense monocultures of fish farms. It's a terrible terrible ting *tut tut* terrible.

There's only freshwater near me and that doesn't taste too good.
