Actually chefs are very possessive about their recipices. But I think you are best off asking an asian mate's mum or sister who knows about cooking. They will show you how it is done, that will help you more than just a cook book.

Indo, it is a big secret, I even asked lunghiman once how to make chicken biryani (well the fist time I spoke to him to get his attention and an idea if he was interested in me lol) and he told me, 'sorry i cannot give out the recipe' but I can show you how you make it. lol I still have no idea to this day how he makes it, but it tastes yummy when he makes it!

Nee - If you are after recipes for British Indian restaurant (BIR) curries, then your best bet could be to visit http://www.cr0.co.uk where a group of curry lovers are working together to uncover/discover/derive as many recipes as possible. They appear to be getting there, as well. I'm talking mainly about the unique UK restaurant taste, rather than 'authentic' Indian or Bangladeshi recipes.

Most of these UK curry houses are run by our Bangladeshi friends and I guess you can't blame them for not giving away too many secrets. Thousands of them work in the kitchens of those great restaurants and take-aways and a few must lurk here, I guess. Only they will know whether the folks at cr0.co.uk are getting close. Or perhaps they will just laugh their heads off at the desperation!
