Well having been dragged out Saturday, curry day was moved to Sunday.

Madras before the meat.

Bit disappointed with the Madras though.  Either burnt the spices a bit or used too much lemon juice. Can't quite put my finger on it but the finished product was a little darker than usual. Quite brown in fact. Family still seemed to appreciate though and I do always ask them for HONEST comments.  ;)

Madras before the meat.

If it's without the meat, what are the two "chunks", please, RD?

Otherwise, your resultant curries look great (including your rice)  8)

Two quarters lemon  - given a twist then dropped in the sauce.  ( as per Julian's recipe )

Not got the meat in there as I prepared in the morning. let it cool then added pre cooked tikka and reheated in oven.  Must admit the tikka was a little over done before I used it but was not wasting it.  ;D  Far too tight for that.

Will do better next time.

Ahhhh, half a lemon seems rather excessive to me, for sure......

Double portion. Large size 4 pan?

Think I may have over done it still?

I reckon so, in a Madras (some would say to add no lemon juice at all to a Madras).  But I might add 2-5ml per portion.  I reckon a quarter of a lemon would be at least 10ml (plus pith plus rind)?
