Hi Stephen, with summer coming  why not buy yourself a cheap  metal bucket and find some cardboard tubing. Build yourself a nice little rocket stove fella  you can run it off some twigs and sticks for next to nothing.. you

Looks great LC but not sure my flat would accommodate it!

Hi Stephen, I've just popped in here after years of just getting on with my curry cooking having been inspired by my time in The Ashoka kitchen all those years ago. As a Glaswegian, I've always wanted to recreate the Scottish or West of Scotland taste so was delighted to find that you were still on here doing your thing and in this case sharing your encounter with your St Andrews Chef. I came in as I am having some neighbours around and they don't seem to do curry much so I am thinking of giving them a CTM and thought I would find an actual BIR Recipe but having only been in a few minutes it seems that the site has veered away from our passions way back in my day on here. Anyway, maybe you could direct me to an authentic CTM recipe or indeed someone else reading this could too. I am delighted to see so many of the original stalwarts still sharing in their passion. I've also been inspired to check in as I've just assembled a new Gas Webber BBQ and looking forward to doing all sorts of stuff on it. Like you I have been using Induction for years now and I still get wonderful comments from friends and family for what I produce. All the best from deepest Kent.

While you're here, Panpot, may I thank you for your pre-cooked lamb post (circa 2009), which I use frequently and produces superb results.

I have never found a satisfactory CTM recipe so will be interested also.

Cheers Garp, I got that from the chief chef of the Glasgow Ashoka Chain. I still use it myself too.

Hi Panpot - Re CTM

My daughter always praises this CTM, I think it is very close to what I get locally. The recipe doesn't include the chicken tikka, but I use Pat Chapman Tandoori Masala. I mix the chicken into natural yoghurt that has had, garlic-ginger paste, mint, salt, cumin powder and a squeeze of lemon juice added to it, as well as the PC Tandoori Masala.

Here's my sauce recipe using Taz base but you could use any base and adjust the cooking method to suit.

Tikka Masala Sauce with Taz Base

Ingredients:

300ml Taz base gravy
1 tsp BE spice mixture

Can I ask what BE spice mixture is without having to search the forum ?

Looks a good recipe this . . . Many thanks
