500ml pot of yoghurt( greek/plain)
a squirt of lemon
1tsp colemans fresh garden mint
1/2tsp kashmiri masala
1/2 cup of caster sugar (dissolved in boiling water)
a pinch of fresh coriander

optional 1tbsp cream
(have tried this without cream and tastes just as delicious)
2-3 drops of green colouring( optional)

blend the lot together

then add either chicken tikka/tandoori chicken/onion bhajis to taste ;D oh and salads or poppadums

hi jerry
the kashmiri masala is pataks paste. if you look closely at a mint sauce from you takeaway you will see tiny coloured flecks of spices, that is the kashmiri masala! made some for my friends to go with the whole meal 2 chicken tikka masalas( from petes korma/tikka masala demo), chicken tikka ( an adapted version of ifindforu's, more tandoori paste and no amchoor)(every one that tastes it can't get enough including my girls 8&5) with salad, bombay aloo (bruce edwards)and mushroom bhaji(bruce's). and they loved all of it, his wife wants to use it as salad dressing the mint sauce that is. they were so blown away by meal that they requested that i make it for them again and he wants me to show him how to cook it from base to plating it up.
hope you try this out

JerryM - have you tried Blade's tikka recipe?

How much boiling water am I supposed to use for the sugar please?

hi guys
the original recipe did not clarify, but add a little at a time and stir until all of the sugar has dissolved. again add the sugar water to the yoghurt mixing all the time to the desired consistency then blend!
