No. The recipe indicates to use the Tikka Masala Sauce from the first book or Adey's Tikka Masala Sauce.

OK, best wait for Adey to respond, then.

Had chance for a good peruse through the book and overall I'm impressed.  Lots of ideas and lots to think about.  Good value.

Hi curry fans,

I feel i may have rushed my last post as i was very busy, so i will try to explain things better
I have seen so many BIR chefs cut corners to save money on this dish!! Simply by making a Korma Red and adding mix powder and some tikka!
This is by far our biggest seller at Curried away, and without being arrogant, been told by a lot of customers old and new, that it is the best they have ever tasted! Try it for yourselves. i'll let you decide
The above recipe is for masalla sauce, NOT tikka marinade. 2 totally different things. Like the Korma sauce in the book, you literally add 2 chefs spoons of the ready made sauce into a pan with your chicken tikka or whatever you are using, base gravy and cream, then just some extra coconut flour to thicken it if required DONE, Tikka Massala in under 4 minutes

Hi Adey

Wow! I've never seen a recipe quite like that massala sauce before. Is that entirely your own recipe or is that something based on what you've learnt from other chefs?

Cheers

Mike

Hi Adey,thanks for the recipe and the contributions to the forum,hope they continue.Looks a very complex massla sauce,although to me that's not a bad thing.I'm always disappointed when a massla sauce recipe is just your usual Patak's paste combined with yogurt and food colouring.It reminded me of the recipe from the Little India Restaurant that was posted by CBM.I'm sure that had some tinned fruit or something similar and proved to be a bit controversial at the time.

A couple of questions if I may.Definitely no tandoori or tikka paste in the recipe? You say add to pan with korma ingredients(from your book) but the korma recipe already has raisins/sultanas as well as ghee and g/g paste...so are you saying add more??

mushroom Mike, jb, recipe was shown to me by my chef plus a few others, with a few slight changes.
With so many BIR eateries popping up on top of what we already have, my chef made a valid point, that to survive, you need to be better than your competitors! How true, i.E we have hundreds of Mcdonalds, but you know, any 1 you go to , you get the same thing! Not so true with BIR. After using this recipe since we opened in 2012, we sell more and more each week, with rave reviews
As regards the tikka/ tandoori paste, NO! Its already in the marinade, too much will kill the dish.
And yes, add more as i stated, you are using the korma sauce as a foundation for the massala sauce
Hope this helps, and remember, this is just MY personal approach, based on Sales and customer feedback, so please feel free to try the other recipes on the site.
