Topic: THE ULTIMATE MADRAS - RESULT CRACKED IT!!!

[Madrasandy]

Hi meggeth, how you fry/singe your spices is entirely up to you, all I am saying is that by adding a little water (from boiled kettle) to the spices it singes the spices and you can tell they are cooking, I tried it without adding the water and you cannot tell how hot the spices are because of the onion,chilli,garlic, ginger toms in the pan that have soaked up the oil, and many times the spices were undercooked or overcooked, this has produced my best results , give it a go see what you think

[Madrasandy]

 I got the adding water from Admin Success for me Jalfrezi

and add the Spice Mix, chili powder and black pepper, stirring well so it doesn't burn.
Return to the heat add a little water (Half a ladle) and cook off it should spit and sizzle

I kept adding half a ladle of water when the curry went dry and would cook this off.  I did this about 3 or 4 times, this seemed to create some kind of magic in the cooking process, the end result?amazing.

I am going to try this in a bit. Just wondered if it's a flat level teaspoon or rounded for the spices?
cheers

lol Phil....flat or rounded? 

Best read Andy's own words : 

Any one actually tried this recipe rather than arguing over heaped level or rounded teaspoons?

so I suspect Andy neither knows nor cares (also my own point of view).
