Yeah. @Alan Harper's Tash corrected me on the origin of korma, pal. Tikka Masala was dreamt up in a Glasgow curry house whilst the Balti was invented in Birmingham. I once had a Balti just up the street from The Old Crown pub in Birmingham, the waiter claimed his grandad invented it in the restaurant, but several Birmingham curry houses have made the same claim. Was delicious though.

Brother lives in Oldbury, going down in a couple of weeks, will try it.
Anyone remember the Ujala? Silver fronted place on Stockport Rd in 80s Levenshulme. Big blonde Englishwoman ran it.
£3 a pint in our bowls club in Marlborough, £6.50 in the High Street. A fairly decent curry to be had at the Raj too.
Ah, the old Vesta beef curry that didn't contain any beef(back then) , just textured vegetable protein. I still enjoyed them though but Paella was my favourite. I also liked the chow mein.
No, can't say I do.
I must have tried it at some point, back then I ate at all the ones on the A6 and often used the one almost opposite The Midway, Takidhir?? Had a black cab back then and they always stayed open til 4 when work had quietened down.
Your off the subject 'on a tangent' random comments never cease to amuse me : )
Brother used to work at Manton , used to drink in The Bear when down there , bloody expensive !
Started following him a couple of years ago and not bought a restaurant curry since. Variations on the base sauce are everywhere, but the basics of adding spices are spot on. Made some arse melters
