Topic: New Base Sauce Recipe -

Something wrong this end then. Oh well!

So you rate this base sauce better that Darth's

[Domi]

Yep ;D I know the recipe doesn't look like it should be, but it is (for my tastes anyways). I'm gonna have to try it out on different recipes, but if the bhuna was anything to go by, it's faultless I know I could be accused of arse-kissing but don't knock it till you've tried it lol

[Swampy61]

Don't think anyone could accuse you of butt kissing 

Anyway you've convinced me to give it a go ( the base sauce that is)  ;D

Looks simple enough for me to get everything I need out here.

Bhuna looks nice Dom  I will properly give it a go at the weekend.  ;D

So what recipes can we do with this base, Stew?
I want to try this one

[Curry King]

I made a chicken madras with this last night and have to say it is very good.  I only had a couple of tastes as I am eating it tonight      Initial thoughts were very good with a certain sweetness my usual base lacks. I find it difficult to tell how good a curry really is until I have stopped cooking and cleared my senses so will be able to judge better later.

Hi Haldi,

Well you know me, i only cook madras and i use the following recipe: -

MADRAS

Ingredients

• Pre Cooked Chicken or Prawns etc
• 2.5 Ladles Curry Sauce
• 1 Tablespoon Chefs Spice Mix - SEE FAQ's
• 1 Teaspoon Pataks Balti Paste
• 3 Tablespoons Veg Oil
• Pinch Dried Fenugreek
• Chopped Coriander Leaf and Stalks (important the stalks)

Method

• Heat Oil over highest flame
• Add 1 Tablespoon of curry sauce
• Add Spice Mix
• Stir and shake for 30 seconds
• Add a little more curry sauce
• Add pre cooked chicken or prawns
• cook for 1 min or so
• Add curry sauce (2.5 ladles)
• Add Balit Paste
• Add fenugreek
• cook over high heat for 6 minutes
• Add coriander
• Leave to cool a couple of mins, serve

[Swampy61]

That looks nice and simple.

Now I need to adapt the recipe to change a madras to a vindaloo or whatever.

The less complicated the better ;D

Thanks for the recipes Stew 

...a Madras with no chilli powder (or even fresh chillis) in it Stew?   

And how big might your ladles be?  2.5 ladles = about 350ml would you say?

By "Chef's Spice Mix", do you actually mean Bruce Edward's Spice Mix Stew? 

FAQ's (for Bruce Edward's Spice Mix) here: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=776.0 and othewise in the "Supplimentary Recipes" section here: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1546.0

Wouldn't it be much easier (and cleaner) to post the Madras recipe in the "Recipes - Main Dishes" Section and just post the link to it in this thread here Stew, just to maintain the integrity of the forum and make searching easier?

Oh,

Sorry guys, Yes add maybe 2 teaspoons of Chili Powder to heat it up to madras strength.
The spice mix can be hot if it contains Chili Powder anyway.
