Hi SnS,

Thanks for the reply... I'll enjoy the madras some more before maybe looking at someone else's base for the 'gay' curries for 'er indoors. 

Any suggestions where I can look for a good CTM recipe?  I had a quick scour of the site but never really had much luck.

Thanks again!

I will add to this thread that when making this curry, I usually marinade my chicken in a mixture of natural yoghurt and a generous tbsp of Tandoori powder overnight, cook and add at the end along with caramelised onions.  Works a treat.

They're in the Tandoori section.

Here are two for you to try ...

I don't think it would work on the really mild coconut/almond/cream based sweeter curries (korma, passanda, etc) ....

Hmmm, which immediately makes me wonder what the restaurant are using for these curries if not this?

They use a different base for these types - don't they?

SnS, I'm about to embark on my SnS 2008 base vs. BE 2008 head-to-head comparison.

Quick question, have you made any improvements/changes to the original recipe on Page of this thread? Do you still use potatoes?

Just want to make sure I don't miss any improvements you may have made.

Thanks,
Josh

Kashmiri chili powder is really used as much (if not more so) for it's vibrant red colour rather than it's mild flavour.

Paprika (for colour/flavour), or any other mild chili powder (for piquancy), or a combination of the two (for colour AND piquancy) would be a reasonable substitute, in my opinion.
