Curry Powder". Is this something you make yourself?

Hello moezus,

I use a shop bought Rajas mild madras.

I've been having a few PM's with ej about this recipe over the past several weeks.
I've made several curries, using a slight variation each time now, & each time things seem to improve.
I think we both agree, that adding Cumin/Coriander to the spice mix, improves the flavour even more.
Saturday, I used red onion. WOW!! what an intense flavour. The best Lamb on the bone I have ever made.
I swapped the 4 green cardomon for 2 black, & just used one, & a half tspn of Garam Masala.
I dropped the G/G down by 5grms.
Last week I bought a full chicken, skinned it, quartered it, & cooked it on the bone.
Best chicken curry I have ever had.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Carl...

If anyone has added anything and thinks it has improved this Curry can you post your findings please. 

I made this again last night ej, & added some Methi leaf 1/2 tspn.
Also about 1/4 tspn of sugar, maybe a touch more.
Simmered away for another 5mins.
Tasted great.

I squeeze my Garlic through one of those hand squeezers, & chop the ginger very finely.
I then take extra care to cook the G/G on a very low heat for several minutes, before adding the spices.
Can't say I have had any over whelming taste, & seen as how I am not a big Garlic fan, I'm sure I would have picked up on this.

IMHO. This is still one of the best curries I have had from this site.

Got anymore e-j?

Carl...

Had the rest of it last night, along with my greedy mate who was using his chapatti to mop out the pan ;D
It tasted even better ;D

I can see how lamb would go well with this sauce.
Sure gonna give it a go.

Thanks again.

Hello EJ,

I made this curry yesterday using chicken.

I have to say, it's one of the best curry's I have made, & it's deffo now at the top of my list.
Infact, I will go as far as to say.
It's even better than my local restaurant, & I agree, curry's from scratch, seem to be far superior to base sauce ones. JMO.
I'm an early riser, & had it all finished by 10am.
Left it to stand, & had it with naan around 5pm.
Really really lovely.
Thanks for posting it.

Carl..

Gonna give this recipe a go tomorrow ej.

As a child, we would chuck potatoes onto a fire, & cover them with Cole's.
Roll them out after 5Min's, or so, & eat them off of the floor, sutt, & all.
Never had any health issues.

I think the food hygiene people have gone mad.
Kids can no longer play conkers in the play ground anymore, without goggles.

Has anyone ever died of Rice poisoning?

Thanks Phil,

What's the method used to cook?

Hello Paul,

I made this base Yesterday.

I was wondering if there is a prefered spice ratio to ge with it?

CArl...

Agreed,
I'm a deffo Methi fan.
Might even start putting it on my cheese, & onion pack up. ;D
