Hi Rich and Bob,
Thanks for the tip on the beetroot powder. I have seen it before but never used it. My only concern would be if it added a "beetrooty" flavour?
I don't have a problem with using the red food colouring as such but I'm not sure that the BIR's would and there is my dilemma. What is making the Rogan Josh's from around these parts red?
Looking at the potential influences, tomato's and chilli powder, will redden the dish to an extent but nothing like what I'm looking for.
So my next step will be to use a good quality Kashmiri Mirch. Like Ramirez says, it's not important to the dish flavour wise but I would like to get it right, just to satisfy my own goal.
Ray
