Chewy and everyone that had input...   Thanks very much guys,  I stuck to my guns and re-made the base, used Chicken Tikka, made a few personal adjustments ie. Methi, swirl of cream etc, took your tip of Butter Ghee at the end and found the Gloss...  And wow!  I'm glad I found this site!  I can now cook a little like the Indian Restaurants...  Thanks.   I will post a couple of pics on next page.  Cheers.

No wonder your missus makes you cook outside Mr Punter. Just look at the state of that cooker.  ;D Anyway, it all looks very nice and I'm glad things are working out. Curry on Number 2.

Cheers Gav...  I'm really happy with this one... Can't wait to crack on with no. 3.  I really want to cook a Madras but I think that's gonna be a challenge.  Last week I went to my local TA and ordered Chicken Madras to try and remember exactly what it was lime but what they gave me was bright Orange!  I don't remember it being that colour back in the 70's ? 80's?  Anyhow,  I'm looking for that old fashioned brown, very thin sauce, great tasting Madras from back Younder!  Any suggestions I would be grateful mate.

Did you make the same base or another one ?. IMHO Chewy's madras is spot on and easier to make than the curry you've just made with fewer ingredients.

Is this the madras that you remember for back in the day?

That looks like a fantastic curry that I would demolish in minutes!!  I know whats next on my to-do curry list now,  I probably wouldnt add the cream however.  Instead of precooking the onions and peppers I may just fry them and add the G&G pasta once soft - save some washing up!  I second Chewys madras btw, although I am yet to try madrasandys version which looks to have rave reviews

Arh... I received your link but only the pressure cooker recipe downloaded.  I guessed the 3 hour version was similar but did not want to guess so went back to the first Garabi I made and started a "third attempt".  I realise now that my mistake on previous two attempts was the AKHNI.  I over cooked it so it became too strong and over powered the base giving it a very pungent aroma & taste.  Now I've corrected that alls good BUT I still find its a little too strong for my curries SO I now add two different types of Gravy to my curries @ 50/50 ratio.  1. Onion Gravy. 2. Base Gravy.   BUT SAYING THIS,  my next thing is to introduce Chewys Base later this week so I'll have 3 to play around with. 
P.S. I need a bigger freezer!!!

I bought a table top freezer just for my curry stuff.
