Curry Sauce, Curry Base , Curry Gravy Recipes, Secret Curry Base / Re: SnS's Base Gravy June 2008

« on: January 13, 2010, 03:42 PM »

Well I've just made this recipe from start to finish today, including the Madras and it's fantastic. It didn't look too promising at first but it really worked well. For the meat, I used SnS's chicken Tikka ... it has gone down a storm and the left over chicken will do for the kid's butties tomorrow ;D

I don't go down the " Mile " any more. We used to enjoy the Mughli but it's gone crap. Also, if you go in the daylight and park round the back

Mind you, Worldwide which is 30 seconds away is an awesone place to get all your ingredients from !!!

I will give the 7 Spices a go next time we are out that way.

I made this up last night using DP's base gravy ... My youngest son (who will only eat Korma ) said it tasted as good as our local BIR !!! Praise indeed ;D

Rice has always been a sore point with me

Up until now that is !!!

Veg oil with some East End Pilau rice " flavour ? "
2 Cups of rice
6 cups water

Quickly fry the rice in the oil etc. and add the ( cold ) water. Cook with lid on for 5 mins.
Put in hot ( ish ) oven for 10 mins fluffing with a fork and bob's yer uncle.

Afternoon all.

This is my first post, and my first attempt at BIR cooking so please be gentle !

I chose this recipe because it seemed to tick all the boxes for me and didn't seem too hard to make.

I have tried to attach a couple of picy's. The first on eshould be the curry when it was cooking and the other one is the end result. It tastes spot on, my only minor critisism would be that I can taste the powdered spices a bit but it's easily cured for next time.
