Ok the situation is this, had a few drinks, someone says fancy a curry, and there you are, pondering the menu with a plate of pickles and chutneys with poppadoms....
And that gorgeous onion relish which you just want to eat and eat and eat ...
but does anyone have a recipe (please !)

Thanks very much for this - the first one is brilliant. I already make the base sauce as they describe from a recip on another site but the variations will please my lovely husband no end.
Don't make any mistake, I'm not fishing or anything, but what time do you serve dinner ;D ;D ;D
Fresh onion relish from Bradford:
Chop or slice onion
Mix yoghurt and mint sauce concentrate ::) so you get a bright green sauce
Mix and serve with a slice of lemon and chopped chillis
It's delicious, honest!
Thank you for those links Mike, they sound delicious, once the coriander and methi (fenugreek) become available, then I will be in heaven ... Thank you for your Bradford recipe too supersprout, that also sounds excellent with pappadoms, or perhaps aloo paratha?
I am glad other people share my tastes Hex, sometimes I think I am unusual in enjoying food as much as I do.

My mint sauce concentrate - without the day-glo colour of commercial stuff - whizz up mint leaves with white malt vinegar in a blender.....keep adding mint leaves until the blender engine starts to groan in protest....bottle (or do I mean 'jar'?) Keeps forever, or would if... ::) ;D
I am fascinated by food! Only really learnt to cook a few years ago but enjoy it and do it reasonably well now.
Have a go at the base sauce and work from there. It makes take away standard curry. My OH refuses to have a takeaway any more as these are better, especially as you are in control of the quality of meat that goes in.
It is a pain doing the big batch but once they are in the freezer they make the best possible ready meal after work. It doesn't smell as bad as they suggest ;)
I was reliably informed that the classic tandoori sauce is just plain youghurt with mint sauce, sometimes a little turmeric for colour. We do plain yoghurt, lemon juice, dried mint, and finely chopped mild onion and/or cucumber for a dip. Finely chopped onion, seeded toms, fresh coriander mixed with some olive oil and lemon juice is the other one.

omit the turmeric if you've crowns that are plastic rather than porcelain - stains the teeth day-glo yellow - so I'm told ;D ;D ;D (laughing with flashing white teeth, you note)...oh OK, more like this :D......or possibly this :)
