Post by: Panpot on August 16, 2011, 08:47 AM: Thanks Stew, no need to have a can of soup at the back of the cupboard after all. This looks really good and points to all manner of descent curries without needing a base. As I have pointed out elsewhere I have no experience of Madras so any chance you could score this one against your very best base sauce version say on a scale of 1/10. I am genuinely grateful for this as I have had the itch for a curry but no kit and have reverted to traditional Indian cooking which of course is good but not when I want the BIR taste so something to save in my recipe notebook, ta PP

Thanks for the comments, try this out it works well.
You need a lot of oil in my view.....I think you'll argree most time you open a madras takeway its swmming in oil.

I guess this is verging on the traditional style of cooking and not BIR but sometimes its just too much hassle to muck around with base sauce when you want a quick madras.

All the best

Post by: mr.mojorisin on August 18, 2011, 10:13 PM: attached pic of Admins no base madras made with Razors chicken tikka. theres also some tikka prawns hiding in there somewhere.
a brilliant quick madras. really ticked the boxes for me. i ramped up the heat a wee bit by adding 1 tbsp crushed chilli flakes and also approx 8 small dried whole red chillis....must be a Glasgow thing ;D
thanks Admin for creating and posting this.
definitely one i will use again
simple but delicious

Post by: Wickerman on September 04, 2011, 10:27 PM: Wow !
That's a fiery little belter.
Very tasty curry and 'oh so quick.
I think maybe i did burn the onion,as the curry almost turned Crimson colour at one stage.
Still tasted mighty fine.
Will be making this again.....tomorrow.
Many thanks

Seriously, though, we have 2 great dishes here and excellent photos to go with them.
Thanks for the original post, Stew. It's good to have an 'everyday Madras' to hand, and I'll certainly be giving it a try.
Best

Post by: Willyeckerslike on March 13, 2012, 06:43 PM: Noticed this today when I looking around & I thought I would give it a go. I followed it to spec but felt it was lacking a little something, so I added some methi leaves & a quarter of a teaspoon of MSG (because I was reading about it this morning & thought what the hell we will see ) & it was a really, really good for a quick curry. Definately a keeper this one, thanks admin.
