curry for the masses - yes 976bar - he the man!

[976bar]

Hi all.
I run a British bar in the algarve. Our best seller is my home made curry. However i strive to make it better.
I'm looking for a base curry i can just add cream to and maybe some garam Marsala freshly made to give a good medium to mild heat to please the masses. I currently make a batch of about 60 portions at a time and just reheat ding ding adding some chicken we preroast at some stage and reheat on a medium heat to so as not to obliterate the chicken / curry ...  My present curry bothers me even tho its popular i want a more authentic taste. I know this will horrify  a lot of you,however we have a very small kitchen and a large menu. I neeed a good curry i can make in large batches to please the masses which ultimately will have to be microwaved . Help!

Hi CL,

I read your e-mail earlier and read it wrong, I thought you wanted to make curry without making a base sauce, so sent you my original Kashmiri Chicken Masala recipe.

If you can get the ingredients over in Portugal then make any of the base sauces on here, they are all good.

Individual dishes  easy enough too, unless you require any Pataks sauces to aid the curry as it were, and I am not sure how readily available they are in Portugal.

I have posted a recipe on here for Pataks Tikka Curry Paste, which is currently being refined in the kitchens and will be posted again shortly.

There are also some "Bulk" recipes on here which you could use, they do produce between 50 -75 portions depending on me on the day, but can be readily frozen and used later on.

If of course you want some private intuition, then you could always fly me out to Portugal for a teach in  ;D ;D

If you need any further info, just let me know.

Rgds,

Bob
