Topic: My version of Kashmiri Tikka Masala

[fendermadlewis]

Ok Guys, this is recipe i made up while trying to copy (as best as i could) the Kashmiri Masala from my local takeaway.

It's a rich and spicy curry with a nice sweet coconut undertone.

The cooking basic's are the same as your normal BIR curry, but the my twisted ingredients are;

3 Tbsp Butter Ghee
1 Tbsp Garlic Puree/Paste (store bought or homemade)
1 Tbsp Mix powder
1 Tbsp Tomato Paste
1 pinch of salt
1 or more Tsp of chilli powder
1 Chefs spoon Precooked onions and peppers
Pre-coocked Chicken Tikka (Lamb also kicks ass with this!)
400ml of Base (which ever you is your favorite)
1 tsp Pataks Tandoori Paste
1 tsp of Pataks Tikka Paste
1 Chef's spoon of Coconut powder
1 Chef's spoon of sugar
400ml of Base (which ever you is your favorite)
Red food colouring (if desired, my takeaway's one is very red/pink in colour)
Lots of fresh coriander
Cook till the gravy is thick and sticky in consistency and garnish with a few Birdseye or finger chilies

Give it a shot and i'd love to know what you guys think

Nice looking recipe Lewis, might be a bit heavy on the sugar for me, but worth tweaking to personal tastes.
By the way, love your music 

Cheers,

By the way, love your music 

It took me a /very/ long time to understand that (I read "fender" as American "bumper") but now that I understand -- there is a Telecaster for sale in Islington if that might be of any interest ?  In the window of the Thai-An store in White Conduit Street.
