Topic: Last nights tea

[chrisbr]

Made Curry2Go Chicken Madras for me and Curry2Go Chicken Rogan Josh for the wife last night.

Both of these used Curry2Go base and CA mix powder.

I made a couple of slight differences to each recipe.  I used pre cooked chicken tikka for both.

With Madras I added 2 tbl spoon of fine chopped onion, 1 tbl spoon fine chopped green pepper and 1 tea spoon methi leaves.  I also added more chopped coriander than the recipe stated.
Result - one of the best curry's Ive made and very nearly matched the taste from local TA.  Wasnt as oily or spicy as TA version and not as saucy but that was due to me not having quite enough base gravy.  Will double amount chilli powder next time.  Also didnt get the same smell as TA.

Rogan Josh - also added 1 tbl spoon onion and used more red & green peppers as my wife prefers more of these in it.  I also added 1 tea spoon fresh ground fennel seed.
Result - no complaints from wife so must be a result

Looks really nice! And those photos are so big that I almost feel I could dive in for a breakfast dip!

Found that interesting

Now I don't mind a hot curry and have done the C2Go madras a few times now but found I had to hold back on the chilli not increase it. I know powders vary greatly but followed Julian's advice and got some ordinary not so hot Rajah chilli powder and mixed it half and half with a good parika (that should reduce strength even more I thought ). Used this as recipe stated but it was well hot. That said it was the sort of heat that hits the tops of your head then mellows to a point where although it was very hot it was not uncomfortable.
