Topic: chicken madras

[jb]

I have some different base gravies at the moment,two I've made and two are genuine base gravies from take-aways.I thought it would be interesting to make a standard madras with each of them and see how they compare in taste.

The base gravies were..

Little India base(I made this from CBM'S video)

Base gravy I got from a restaurant/takeaway(Essex base) on this thread...

Pre cooked chicken....

I'm a bit curried out now(and the kitchen's in a right old mess!!)

I'm going to have a taste test later and see how they compare.They're all a bit diiferent(in a good way,just as every Restaurant madras is always different),the kitchen certainly has some wonderful smells going on!!

Great work Jb, there are some excellent looking curries you have cooked there. They are making me crave curry , be great to hear your results from the different bases

[ELW]

Looking forward to reading the verdict on those jb.

Jb, I admire your dedication to curry!! Im yet to try your base, but it will be my next one.. sort of.. im going to give it a go in a pressure cooker to save on gas!  Interested to read your findings from your experiment!

Shame you couldn

[Peripatetic Phil]

Oh dear.  It looks as if someone is jealous of all the praise and attention that your new base is getting, JB.  Never mind -- the rest of us like it, and are quite happy for you to post whatever photographs you can, whether or not they would meet the somewhat exacting standards of National Geographic and its ilk.  Keep them  coming !

Actually I like photos that are in focus as well and I even get annoyed at myself when mine are out of focus. Personally I wouldn't think jealousy over someones base would have nothing to do with giving someone some photo tips.. 

Looking forward to the taste test jb.

All of what's in them pics looks very edible to me.  I'd be salivating even more if they were i focus than i am now  :  More interested in your comments on the madras quartet though.  Look forward to your findings and conclusion jb.
