Title: Chicken Chilli Masala
Post by: Unclefrank on September 13, 2012, 10:39 AM
Has anybody got a recipe for this dish please, done a search and found one by C2G but just wondered if there is a tried and tested recipe.
Thanks.

Hi UF,

I have tried both Garlic Chili Chicken masala and chicken chili masala at restaurants and to be honest have not found much in them albeit the garlic.

Why not try the garlic chili chicken masala recipe and leave out the garlic, I am sure it will be a close substitute which you could then always play around with to get the taste you desire.

Rgds,

Bob

Have a look at Mick's website - http://cbm-mick.blogspot.co.uk/ (http://cbm-mick.blogspot.co.uk/) and give his King Prawn Chilli Masala a go. I substitute the Prawns for Chicken and use only 1 chef spoon of Red Masala paste but it is very tasty and is exactly the same as the CCM in my local TA.

Just watched CBM video he adds coconut towards the end does anybody know if it's coconut flour?

I use TRS Coconut Powder. Seems to do the trick.

Is there a recipe for the red masala paste?

I think it may be this one (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=8353.msg73788), Santa.  Mick refers to it as a sauce/paste.

Thanks Phil. Yes, I was sort of hoping it wouldn't be that one...fruit cocktail and Patak's pastes  ::)  ;D. I think CBM mentioned a simpler one in another post but I don't know where to find it, assuming it's even on the forum.

I use the one from Mick's book. Still uses Pataks pastes but is very simple to make.

Would be unfair to summarise Mick's recipe here, as it's in his book.  It isn't too dissimilar from CT's and does involve the use of Pataks.  I'm sure you could create something pretty close by substituting the paste quantities for a good tandoori masala SS and throw a couple of tbs of tom paste in for good measure.  That should do the job just fine.

Hi UF,

Here is the recipe I use. It is originally UB's recipe, but I just modified it for my personal taste.

Which one is that?
Title: Re: Chicken Chilli Masala
Post by: Secret Santa on September 14, 2012, 11:25 AM
Oh these bloody acronyms! So CT is ChewyTikka, ok.

It's this one:
Chewytikka's Red Masala Mix

4 tbsp Yoghurt
1 tsp three Pataks Pastes
Tandoori, Tikka and Kashmiri
1 tsp Mixed Powder
1 tsp G&G paste
1 tbsp Mustard Oil
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 tsp Red food colour (Natural Cochineal)

Now this is just the main ingredients for a tandoori marinade so in answer to my own question I'd just use a good, non-Pataks spice blend, as suggested earlier.
