Hi Garp just done a little digging into Lal Toffan, most pages come up with it being a beer but there are a few that have the same description Special Red Sauce, found this one http://stopsleysurma.co.uk/restaurant-menu-stopsley-surma/special-dishes_5.html

Saying it uses Naga chilli. Might be  start for you.

Thanks Frank.

I've done the same and ended up with Lal Toofan (Indian beer apparently).

But restaurants/takeaways just make up names for Chefs Specials like Tikka Taj Mahal etc etc.

My local TA describes it as:

lal toffan   
Special red sauce,onions,green chillies,coriander,ginger,garlic & spices sweet & spicy


Thanks for the effort. mate :)

Yes as I said, I've had that, and if it can be replicated, that would be the discovery of the decade. Amongsr many other! :)

And a very nice Indian beer it is too  :P.  It knocks spots of the ***** Kingfisher **** *****  >:(.  Definitely on par with the other good accompaniment which is obviously Cobra  ;) IMHO anyway.
