I firmly believe that trying to recreate the full wonder of Indian food at home to be a waste of time. While one will prepare a perfectly nice meal, it is never really on the button.
Quite simply it is food to be delivered or eaten on the premises.
I have never had a shop bought Indian better than one I have made at home. The only exceptions are dosa and making naan bread. I can never keep the tandoor hot enough for long enough for the naan bread..
