Title: Last attempt
Post by: RubyDoo on December 17, 2012, 02:34 PM
Well having been dragged out Saturday, curry day was moved to Sunday.

Madras before the meat.

CTM before the meat.

The whole works done

Bit disappointed with the Madras though.  Either burnt the spices a bit or used too much lemon juice. Can't quite put my finger on it but the finished product was a little darker than usual. Quite brown in fact. Family still seemed to appreciate though and I do always ask them for HONEST comments.  ;)

Madras before the meat.

If it's without the meat, what are the two "chunks", please, RD?

Otherwise, your resultant curries look great (including your rice)  8)

Two quarters lemon  - given a twist then dropped in the sauce.  ( as per Julian's recipe )

Not got the meat in there as I prepared in the morning. let it cool then added pre cooked tikka and reheated in oven.  Must admit the tikka was a little over done before I used it but was not wasting it.  ;D  Far too tight for that.

Will do better next time.

Ahhhh, half a lemon seems rather excessive to me, for sure......

Double portion. Large size 4 pan?

Think I may have over done it still?

I reckon so, in a Madras (some would say to add no lemon juice at all to a Madras).  But I might add 2-5ml per portion.  I reckon a quarter of a lemon would be at least 10ml (plus pith plus rind)?

Your comments are kind but my bad photography I think hides the sins of the over dark and strange tasting Madras at the rear.  ;) ;). Still , a learning curve that never seems to straighten.
