Make from scratch curry sauce base from onions tomatoes. Takes a while but always do enough to freeze alot. We'll we are related to the Madras family.
I like my Typo with tarka dhal, boiled rice and cauliflower pakoras.
A South Indian Rasam made with home grown tomatoes is simple to make and a great late breakfast with uttapam made from rice and Urud Dahl ground in the blender, soaked and left to ferment for 6 hours.
Simple but impressive. May give Dosas a try next week.

Always from scratch - dry frying whole spices and then grinding them. Served with my home made lemon, mustard seed & chilli pickle, better than any lime pickle I've ever tasted.

My missus taught me. She was from Durban in SA where large Indian community.
Onions, ginger/garlic paste, cumin, turmeric, ground coriander, red chilli. Rajah Curry powder. Braising steak (too offend all Indians with beef), cook down, and add tomatoes and salt.
Found the curry powder my missus used in South African food shop in Boundary Road Portslade last time I was home. Very good curry powder. Rajah. I definately recommend.

Funny, I really am not a fan of Durban curries, English Midland/Northwest styles like balti dishes I find much more flavorsome. They do have beef in Durban curries though mostly mutton then fish. Its pork they cant have
Chatsworth and Phoenix suburbs of Durban have I think the largest indian population outside of India

You should make a bunny chow exclusive I think to SA pretty much, best way to eat a curry on the move, 1/4 or 1/2 a loaf, take most of the bread out, fill the loaf with curry then put the bread on top. Eat with your hands very nice

'Pretty much the only way I eat curry in SA, not the hugest fan of rice and the soft bread and crusty wall calms down some of the chillies which is put copiously in all Indian food there. And you can pick them up eaily for 20-30 ZAR, a quid fifty or so.

I fly to India once a week and buy my spices direct from the farmer.
Don't bother with UK based recipes.
Not really! Use curry power and some other shop bought spices.
