Topic: Chewy's Chicken Tikka Masala - CTM

[Kashmiri Bob]

Superb video Chewy. Many thanks for sharing.  The chef I was following at my local would start this dish with almond powder (no coconut).  Gave it a brief pan toasting, and then piled everything else in.  No idea (as yet) what his masala paste consisted of. The new chef uses both almond and coconut.  His sauce consists of oil, green cardamom, cassia, asian bay, GM, margarine, blended plum tomatoes, and red food colouring.  He starts the dish with a tiny amount of Patak's kashmiri paste, mixed with mustard oil.  Both produced good results, I think.

Where did you get that fine triple-handled balti dish from?  Seen it in one of your other videos a while back.  Can't find one to buy anywhere.

Excellent video as per usual, Chewy - informative and straight to the point, just the way I like 'em!

...Be interesting, if seasoned members could guess what goes into the red masala paste and sauce....

I wouldn't consider myself a seasoned member, but I don't know whether I'll be astounded by the complexity of your paste or it's simplicity!

As for the sauce, I think you published the recipe for that previously in your excellent Chicken Tikka Tuk Tuk recipe. Do I get a poppadom for that guess lol!

You must be telepathic mate, I just cooked up a batch of your gravy last night and was looking at CTM recipes most of the afternoon.   :

I ended up cooking up some of Blade's Tikka and made up your Madras and Pudina Murg with it.  Great combo for the madras!  Just about the best curry I've cooked to date I'd say.

I think I need some ingredients for CTM, so I think I might give Dhansak a go tonight. 

Keep up the good work

Hi Chewy,

When are you going to fill us in with the recipes for the almonds paste?

[Achille17]

Be interesting, if seasoned members could guess what goes into the red masala paste and sauce.

I'm asking again if Chewy would after such a long time enlighten us with his red masala paste and sauce recipes.

PLEASE, Chewy!
