My local supermarkets didn't have the powder either so I buy it in a big bag at the Chinese supermarket.where can you buy the coconut powder for the indian currys? a few months ago i found some coconut milk powder in tescos and this worked well but I've tried lots of supermarkets and i can't find any now
If you've got a Chinese or Asian supermarket near you they have just about all the ingredients you'll need to make the recipes from the book.Dum Spiro Spero0 -

What a fab idea - thank you!:T0 -
I would second the curry sauce base - I doubled the ingredients but only added 2 ltrs of water. This made a much thicker sauce which took up less room in the freezer.
I made the naan breads, but added Nigella seeds. These are EXACTLY like naan bread from the indian takeaway

I'm just off to the shops now, but before I go, can anyone recommend something from this book that we could have for dinner today? Three adults too tight to buy a takeaway and can't make up our minds what to cook!!0
