Excellent thanks for that  ;D

Tried dipuraja's massala sauce tonight was really nice.

Can I freeze what's left for another time?

Thanks

Hi all

I made a chicken tikka korma friday night using taz base and blades tikka and it was lovely made a double portion and ate the lot lol i know what a pig! 

Only thing was it was not as yellow/creamy looking as most Kormas you see and adding the tikka prob made it more light orange/creamy.

How do they keep or get that korma colour?

Thanks

What's anyone thoughts and the ginger paste that's in a jar and garlic paste in tubes that can be found in supermarkets?

Is it a big no no and best to stick with fresh and paste your self? I'm probably thinking yes but thinking about saving time.

Hi Phil

Wish i bought a microwave now as we only ever used it to pre cook jacket potato for the oven so didnt bother as we now whack them straight in for an hour haha. No ready meals in my house! No microwave popcorn either 

Ill just try running the hot tap and let it sit in a pot for a bit and see how that works.

Cheers

Is it safe to defrost curry base by putting the zip freezer bag into some warm water to help the defrost speed up?

Thanks

Hi

That's what i was hoping you would say. Grilling it has made it so soft and even when leaving a some to cool its still soft.

Roll on Friday night.

Thanks everyone for the help

haha post has turned abit stomach churning!

Ok so i just got in a grilled a small portion to test and its bloody fantastic!

I'm planing on making my self a tikka Korma tomorrow night.
How would anyone suggest i add the chicken?

1. Part fry to seal then re add for 5 mins towards the end of the korma being ready?
2  Grill it first and then add as pre cooked chicken? (When's the best time to pre cook it and how should i keep it till its ready to add to korma)

I don't want to over cook it and let it get tuff as i always seem to make that error as still working on perfecting my timings.

Hi

Thanks for your info.

I think I will take out the 2 breasts and add 2 more breasts to the marinade today and cook them tomorrow then that will be 2 x 24 hour periods as you mention.

In future I will make one batch and freeze what ever chicken I don't use.

Thanks again

Steve

Ahhh ok good call.

How long is the life on the marinade as it went in the fridge yesterday and chicken will be ready today for cooking?

Thanks
