Thanks Darth.Me and the Wife have just had a wicked chicken madras.I used your base sauce.I cooked 1 onion with some Garlic and Ginger in oil.then whole cardomon seeds with Cinnamon and some cloves and whole coriander seeds .Then some chili and Pataks tikka masala paste,stir fried for 2 minutes with 1 cup of water to stop the spices burning.Then the chicken and 1 stock cube,then 1 tin of toms and 500ml of your base sauce,then some Gara masala and the wife said it was the best curry i have ever made,better than the BIR's. Now i don't know if it was because she was drunk from watching England loose in the World cup,but it was Bloody lovely,I can still taste it now in my mouth 2 hours later.So the curry quest continues,and no I didn't put salt in it.Can we stop all this talk about salt when its just so bad for you anyway.
Thanks Darth, you are the man.
From your humble apprentice.
