Looking through the slow cooker thread and it sounds like there is a few good curry recipes out there...Heres my two favorite.

The first is a little heavy on the ingredients but once you get everything you'll be set to make it many times over. The spice mix makes up enough for about three curries, so stick in it a jar for next time

Eoin where did you pick up the spice box?

I got it on Moore street, as far as I remember. The place is Indian cookware shop, sells a lot of stuff like cheap alu pots etc. It's called a Dabba Masala if you want to get one. It's on the Ilac wall, where the tobacco is sold.

They do look the part don't they

Is it ok to plug a mate's site? He was made redundant and has set up a business selling curry kits among other things. I must say the curry kit is well designed, including a recipe book and a nicely presented box of spices which would look well on any kitchen worktop, and any of the recipes I have tried worked out great.

Nice web site

Nice web site

Its a bit of a mess I think. Says it costs 39.99, then at the bottom it says 35 euro in Dublin inc p&p...the Paypal link says its 35 euro plus 4.99 shipping.

It says this as well

50 page authentic Patel's family Indian RECIPE BOOK  see "Patel's Recipe Book"

see Patel's Recipe Book? See it where?

Good idea though

Thanks Denzel I passed on your concerns, he said that he had only recently negotiated a deal with fast track to give nationwide delivery for €4.99 and due to an admin error the site hadn't been updated throughout, but was being sorted now.
