Is this really a recipe out of the Indian Food Safari
The best Indian food is found on the Streets of India or the small side street restaurants in the cities in India. The next best would be traditional home made Indian curries.
I've yet to find an Indian restaurant that serves authentic Indian food here in Perth.
We make curries at home which have been handed down over generations and are still awesome, better than most restaurants can dish.

not really the REAL DEAL
all these indian recipes are no good. none ever tastes like the stuff you get in restaurants.
the royal india restaurant serves the best curry in the world (imho) - the chicken vindaloo is to die for. until someone can show me a recipe that tastes even a third like this one, i will remain the eternal sceptic. in 20 years, i have NEVER found a really good indian recipe in either books or online........

Berbere substitution
When making Doro Wat, about 4 tablespoons of Berebere, an extremely hot Ethiopian red pepper mixture, is used in each recipe. You can substitute a combination of cayenne pepper and paprika (which is not Ethiopian) to replicate the characteristic dark color and flavor.
Glossary
Bearnaise Sauce
Made with a reduction of shallots, tarragon, and white wine and combined with egg yolks, butter and seasoning. Served mainly with grilled meats and fish.
