I love it!  only really started eating indian food in the last year and love it.

What I'd like to do is cook restaurant style food at home. Do any of you have any recipes I can try and any hints or tips to get it looking and tasting the same as my local curry house?

Turkey is great in them too.

As with any good Indian Chef, most in this country are not Indian but Pakistan or Bangledesh, its all about the self made paste.

MUCKMENT. I can't stand the stuff, and I have tried it all being a friend of Azam a restaurant owner. The initial taste and piquant taste is great I just find the after taste/burner unenjoyable.Besides 90 per cent are muslim owned, and I question if some of them support certain 'charities'
I'll stick with French, Italian, Chinese, English and Spanish.

I've eaten in Indian homes, and strangely home cooked Indian food is nothing like restuarant food. It's not better or worse, it's just very different.

I really dislike hot (Spicy) food of any kind, but well chosen Asian dishes are great, miles away from the late night drunken " I'll  have a Vindalloo, I can take it" brigade.

i prefer my own home made curries. then again also cooked at my dads restaurant too

Authentic indian food is quite dry normally.  The thick sauce came along with the tikka masalas, invented in Birmingham.

I love the stuff (authentic and restaurant), although sometimes I squeal when sat on the potty.

As for recipes, this is how I make mine at home:

Walk to phone
Dial 01280 7xxxxx
Say my name
Wait about 45 mins
Answer door
Scoff

In order to make your indian as authentic as possible you need to make sure you use the right ingredients (ghee is vital and do not use any recipe that doesn't specify the use of it) as get your spices from your local ethnic food store and NOT from a supermarket.  I try not to keep my spices too long as they loose potency over time and this in turn affects the dish.  In resturants their spice turnover is very high and thus very fresh.  Also where possible crush your own spices
