Well I have had a couple of pataks here in the US and I thought it was pretty good. The korma was hotter than and not as creamy as I would have expected. And certainly much easier than making it from scratch!

One can also buy Shan Korma Masala (powder rather than sauce) quite easily. The other ingredients: well, you're gonna have to cook the onions/vegetables/meat(s)/eggs used anyway, so that would probably be just as workable.

(BTW, I can guarantee Shan as cent-percent desi; it's made in Lahore)

I got a Pataks Korma from World Market here and it was pretty good, not as good as in Britain, but like you I've been dying for some Indian food for the past 6 months. We did try an 'Indian' restaurant around here and it was truely awful, absolutely terrible, they have no idea what Indian food should taste like and didnt even know what a Nann bread was!!!

During the 3 months we spent in England last summer, I got my Hubby hooked on Indian and now he cant wait to go back just to have some.

I don't know if you check VJ that much anymore, but if Omaha the place to go is the Jaipur. It is owned by the same guy who owns The Oven in Lincoln...and considered one of the best Indian restaurants in the US. I've had curry many times in the UK and The Oven is by far the best Indian food I've ever had.

So far in Chicago I've had ####### luck finding Indian as good...I was spoiled.

I think they showed it in America at some point (not while I was living here) but not sure - probably check UKNova.

I also liked when sketch where the mother's were bragging about their sons, including ####### size, in an effort to outdo each other, or when they try and join the "exclusive" tennis club or "Punjabi Girl" sung to Barbie Girl...that was a funny show

My favorite is the "Six Million Rupee Man." LOL...the exchange rate was not in his favor!

We just tried Patak's last week and we really enjoyed it. It was imported from the UK...I highly doubt the ingredients were changes for the US market, but I am thinking since it likely sits longer on the shelves here than in the UK that the time changes the flavor (sort of like Guinness doesn't travel well)?

Damn reading this link had made me feel hungry esp for a nice keema balti with a cheese nan, or even chicken tikka with salad in a roti ( drools ) . Guess i was spoiled living the other end of stoney lane in Birmingham was spoilt for choice, guess now i;ve had my bacon buttie i will start on seeing if i can find a descent curry here.

Jeremy tried Indian for the first time when he came to the UK and LOVED it - I must say I never tried the Pataks in the UK, having Indian restaurants and all and I am not one for things that are *too* spicy. But they sell Pataks in Walmart here and we have a couple of Indian restaurants - one does tikka masala! So I am happy :)
