I use own shop brand evaporated milk and use about 4 tbsp in a CTM, i get 7-8 ctm to one tin of milk.
I have used cream etc but on some occasions when frozen then defrosted can have a slight tang to it.

I use Jbs base gravy but omit the frying of garlic at the end, i use Ca's ctm recipe but don't use cream i use evaporated milk instead, using Ca's Tandoori powder mix too but only add 1/8th tsp of chilli powder.
i add oil to the pan first then add butter, it should bubble up in a nice medium pace then once the butter as melted i add all the powders in one go on medium to hot heat, shaking the pan and stirring with a wooden spoon to make the powders soak up the oil and butter, you can smell when ready seems to have a roasted nutty, from the butter, to it i then add 236ml of base, which is the size of my ladle, and again shake pan and stir well, once the sauce is red all over i add the chicken raw and stir to coat then cover in the sauce and leave to cook until sealed on one side then flip over and cover again with the sauce, the sauce will thicken quite quickly then stir the chicken around and add the evaporated milk then stir well and leave to cook for around 30 seconds.
I do have a 7.5 kw burner, i timed myself cooking this dish and cook it in 2 minutes and 2 seconds using the above method.
