Often wondered this myself Bob, I know Dipurajah1 used cold base... It's something I haven't tried personally to be honest but I'm sure there's many on here who have 

A fine gentleman has take upon himself to upload some fascinating footage to YouTube of late... It shows inside many BIR kitchen's he is allowed access to on his travels which to us curry lover's is always gold to be able to see!

The channel is called 'Travels in India, London & the UK'

Take a look....

Noticed this myself on many an occasion nobleox... I find usually dishes that are ordered from the same restaurant and cooked by the same chef for a  takeaway seem to be thinner and runnier from my local hence why I only eat in now.  I must admit though, the overall atmosphere, smells from the kitchen and waft of other dishes being served nearby do add a certain something

Oh yes you have definitely cracked it if these pics are anything to to go by.

Couldn't agree more!!! 

ligs, I too am from the north west (liverpool) and notice that a lot of them serve the exact same sauce you mentioned.  I was told by one chef it has 18 ingredients in it which I honestly don't believe  Most places describe it as 'chilli mango'...  It does contain mint though as you mentioned   

Still I am unsure whether it would be chilli powder added or chilli sauce but am more inclined to believed it would be chilli in the sauce form 

Hi Guys...

Noticed when I seem to cook my base that it always seems to turn out to be brown rather than light yellow?        Could this be due to me adding too much spice and or the can of chopped tomatoes to the base?

It seems some bases like chewy's 1 hour base use minimal spice which obviously when finished would produce a lighter base, would this be correct?

Bloody hell Andy that looks the business!! 

Also looks exactly like it does from local restaurant where I also go for a madras, which base and recipe was this made using?

Really good work! 

HI GUYS

EXCUSE THE CAPITAL LETTERS (KEYBOARD PROBLEM) 

CAN ANYONE SUGGEST A GOOD RECIPE FOR C.T.M USING ONLY BASE, SPICES AND CREAM ETC. BUT NOT PASTES OR A SAUCE

BEEN MEANING TO TRY MAKING C.T.M THIS WAY FOR A WHILE NOW...

CHEERS, BEN 

Shame I missed out on this would have loved to have came! Hope one is going to be arranged for 2013 :-)

Looks absolutely terrific that, good enough to eat!

CA's Madras is next on the list for me
