All easily purchased in Canada. Well, at least in some parts of Canada.

Re: Curry - in Canada?
Ack, I confess, I knew all along that butter chicken as served in Canada has its origins in a dish originally created in India. I contend however that the removal of the flavour makes the Canadian variation a different dish, in the same way as Chicken Tikka Masala is a British dish, not an Indian one.
I know now and, indeed, knew all along, that there is no tradition of exporting culinary creations from prarie provinces. Butter Chicken isn't typically trucked from Regina.

Go to an Indian supermarket, they have every spice you'll need and big bags of rice for very little. Plus, you can get lots of English brand stuff at a fraction of the prices the English shops charge.

+1 I was thinking of it last night but had sour cream, not yogurt and wasn't sure about substituting. In the end I opened a jar of Sharwood's sauce and made quick chicken korma with peppers and red onion.

Not bad when we went there....it's not actually Pickering, more like Ajax. There is also locations on Bloor (Toronto) and Eglington

I won't say it's PUKKA like what we are used to back in Blighty though, but it's close

The chef at Pickering has travelled all over India which is why the food has influences from different regions.
PS, Those other restaurants are nothing to do with this one.

Re: Curry - in Canada?
Are you sure those restaurants aren't franchises?
