Meet Dan Toombs - The Curry Guy

This guy is the Indian Curry Master! I've been reading his books and following his recipes for years. If you want to make a BIR style Indian curry at home - to British Indian Restaurant standards - then just do everything he says in his books and videos. You won't be disappointed. His Pakora sauce, for example (a recipe for which I spent 25+ years trying to figure out), is bang on the money and exactly what I remember from many a businessman's lunch as a teenager/early 20-something college student in Kirkcaldy.

Back then, in the late 80s and early 90s, you could get a three course business lunch and a pint (at the incredible Café India) for as little as five quid.
