I love to make my own. My favourite is a lamb rogan josh I do with a whole shoulder slow cooked for about 5 hours.

I went for my first curry at 11 years old to a restaurant called Omar Kayaam in Edinburgh. It’s still there.

Akbar’s is close to me and I do enjoy their chicken liver tikka starter. The seafood Balti there isn’t as good as it used to be.

As a cheap treat, B&M bargains sell a Chinese curry powder called mayflower. Mix with water, add onions, peas and chicken and you have a replica Chinese take away curry.

Cheap, easy, fast and tasty.
