On Sunday I attended a cooking class at the new Indian curry house in Kyneton , Vic...... Dhaba.. I also have recently bought the TMX Indian cooking book. So tonight we are having visitors for an Indian meal!!!! Very brave visitors. The following recipes are adaptions from these sources as well as Charmaine Solomon's Chapatis.

Good work. Saw something about Dhaba in the paper ? Sounds like an interesting addition to Kyneton.
Seems like a lot of turmeric? I sometimes find it a bit overpowering. But is good for your health.
