hi stew
have you tried the indian at the end of tenterden high st called badsha it is opposite the william caxton pub. it has got a reputation for good food some celebrities get helicopters etc to deliver their fav dish to them. and remember phil godley he lives through the stone gateway also opposite. on your next visit try visiting Rajver (recipes posted) in biddenden on the headcorn road you won't be disappointed. they have just changed the menu it now looks and reads like the one from the Raja of kent which you pass on the way to biddenden from tenterden. the raja don't do deliveries but rajver do ;D. when i saw the new menu was alittle disappointed coz now they do things like mass( bangladeshi fish) haash( duck) and harin(venison). the raja of kent have a website so you can see there is also less dishes on the rajas menu again a plus for Rajver now. another downer is that my usual order was ?16.05 but now will cost ?19.35

regards
gary

hi, i have just had a go at this sauce, everything ok untill the last part, i'm getting no oil rising from the sauce . the sauce looks fine, dark and similar to my local dhansak. would it be ok to still use. thanks

Hi Oil64 and welcome to cr0! 

It can take a really long time (i.e. hours) before the oil separates. 

I wouldn't worry too much about it.  I'm sure your base will be fine as it is. 

The oil will undoubtedly separate when you cook your final dishes

Hi oil64,  welcome. I also missed the rising oil but as CA says, I did see it in the final dish.... regards mike.  ;D

I used to post on this site some time ago, I just check out this new base sauce a few days ago. I cooked a batch up to the letter. The only thing I didn't do was add chicken stock, I just used water.

This is by far the most simple and best base sauce I have ever cooked.

From the base I have made two curry's. I cooked a chicken korma. I just heated a couple of ladles of base, a ladle of coconut milk, a few table spoons of double cream. I added some powdered coconut and some ground almond. A little sugar... Oh I chopped up a chicken breast and cooked that in the base sauce for about 8 mins. Then I added the above. It is the best korma I have ever made!

I also made a chicken jalfrezi, this was also the best I have ever made. I will type up both recipes properly in the next few days and post them.

Thanks for this base recipe. I've tried a few over the last couple of years but by far this really is the best base!!! Try it you wont be disappointed.

Welcome back Jimmyja 

I see it was over a year and a half ago since your last post here! 

Looking forward to seeing your recipes for the korma and jalfrezi you cooked using this base! 

[mike travis]

Welcome back indeed Jimmyja,  I too would be interested in your jalfrezi. I@t would be great if you took a picture of it.  ;D

[jimmyja]

Please see post on BIR main dishes. I have posted Korma and Jalfrezi there. I must add I have made this new base twice now. The 2nd time I cooked it I only added half a tablespoon of chilli powder (better for Korma) I also only added half a table spoon of paprkika.
