Hi all.
Sorry if Ive not answered any questions recently, Busy as a busy thing at the mo.
The froth question (Curry secret Cookbook), having now been in touch with a few Chefs, this is purely an aesthetic preference & has no impact on the flavor of any dish, but is sometimes employed in sit style Restaurants.
Hi Lorrydoo, I'm not sure about the Chinese touch, but remember this base may give what you perceive as a general commercial Kitchen smell that we a get when in the vicinity of many places, Kebab houses, fish & Chip shops etc..etc.. 
Cheers...........

Hi people, great forum.

After many mouthwatering hours reading these forums I've decided to try Darths Madras 100% Clone recipe.
I dabble with the spices and foods I like personally but this will be the first recipe I have followed to the letter.
In the recipe it says "5 Sticks Celery."
Is that 5 full sticks or 5 bits you pull from the celery.(not sure what you call them lol) :-[
Sorry for the daft question.

Cheerz deeboi.

That's five "sticks" of celery, in your terminology, Deeboi  ;)

Hi Darth, Iam slowly making my way through various bases and have now made yours.  I will make your 100% Madras next week (May bank holiday) and let you know how I get on.

I have made some concentrated chicken stock by rosting 4kg of chicken wings and then boiling them for several hours.  This was sived and the remaining 2 litres of stock was reduced to just enough to fill one and a half icecube trays!  Very strong stuff.

I subsequently put two cubes in a curry today using ifindforu base and Cory Anders Madras recipe.  Still couldnt detect the chicken flavour that is present in BIRs!

I think they must be using a flavouring product and I have heard on here that Knorr Boullion might be used.  Do you know anything about this product and its possible use in BIRs?

Many thanks,

Barry.

I am making Darth Madras tomorrow, 1st June 2007, I made the base a couple of weeks back and followed it to the letter.  I will follow the rest of the recipe also to the letter and post the results!

Darth Madras is now simmering on my stove.  It tastes nice and smells nice but it lacks the BIR taste and smell.
