Which tomato puree are people using is it the double concentrated kind as this seem to be the only type the OH bring home from the shops.

I get mines from Lidl - around 31p per tube - can't really say much about tomato puree much of a muchness I think.

Me too. White Tower brand is what the takeaways use though.

The brand won't make a lot of difference.
When you're searching for small improvements it is well worth adopting a better brand.
I'd love to be able to use white tower as its the best ive tasted. I currently by 800g tins and freeze in small containers and use from frozen. Most from Asian stores are very good. It's the % tomato to go for.
In short the better brands have a sweetness not in the supermarket stuff. The difference in the final curry is small.
A lot of smalls build up.

Hi london
I use the regular supermarket double concentrated stuff. I dilute it 2:1 with water and make sure I cook it out well just prior to adding the spices

Mick,
Do you dilute before measuring. 2 parts water to 1 part tom puree?.
