As already mentioned you can get spices from various sources if you're prepared to shop around and we used to supplement this by bring hard to find stuff back with us when we went to the UK.Pete'nKim wrote:I'm practising my curry cooking before we come to live next year. We're Brummies and have had a lifetime of being spoilt with curries. Couldn't cope without chicken or lamb madras or a spicy Korma.
My home made isn't bad but I do know that finding some ingredients may be difficult (I cheat and use Pataks paste sometimes, which is great).
Perhaps a curry club is something I should start up when we're settled as way of meeting people and sharing ideas?
Now you can get pretty much anything you need from here http://www.ingredient.es. We pop in and collect our stuff but they will also post to you. Prices are pretty good to.
