Not tonight but usually a chicken or lamb tikka korai on a keema or peshwari naan bread. Don't normally do rice.

Fantastic book. Was recommended to be by someone on here. Guaranteed a great curry every time, and dead easy to cook."The Curry Secret" ?

Pretty sure I recommended it on here after I first heard about it, and bought it. That said, there was probably someone before me; my post is on this page

Is this book really that good and easy to follow. My idea of cooking a curry is boil in a bag rice, chicken in a pan and a jar or Pataks or other horrendous pre made sludge.
Can you REALLY make a curry to rival a restaurants?

I think it is, you have to have some competence in the kitchen, but it's not complicated. The format is explained by a former curry restaurant cook, and so long as you follow it, you'll be astonished by the results. You'll also take a different view on your local curry house in future, somehow the way they serve from that 10 page long menu becomes a little clearer. Oh, and as we all (should) know, most curry house recipes are not traditional, but they are often rather lovely all the same.

Round my way curry does just not take-away very well at all so prefer to go to a Curry House.

I know what you mean, we live in the sticks(ish) both the options we have localish are far, far better to eat in than take away, and one of them isn't all that to eat in either.

In answer to the question, my favourite curry take aways are Chilli Pickle and Planet India.
I too, have made the gravy and had some bloody good attempts, if the stuff I made turned up all within the foil containers I would be very happy.
But you know what, after you have stocked up on all the ingredients and the little bits that make the difference you need to plan a couple of months worth of curry to make it worth while.
In the end an occasional curry from my local ended up the best way and cheapest.

Yes you can, this video explains how to do it, or at least the Base Sauce all Indian Restaurants use.
Also "The Curry Secret" book which can be found on the web to download is just as good.
Make a big batch of base sauce up and freeze in portions, I guarantee if you do it properly it will be as good as Restaurant Curry.
