Hi Nisha, i don't have fenugreek leaves, so can i use fenugreek powder instead, but do i need to alter the amount i use so i don't ruin the flavour of the curry? Cheers :)

Susan, if you go to an Asian grosses you will get tandoori masala. You can also get it online. If you can’t get it, just use paprika powder and cumin powder in equal measures instead.
