CK - I must have stared at that Madras for at least two minutes. Awesome.

Have you ever posted your Madras recipe?

I've actually never ever tried a Dopiaza...

Great work.

Thanks Josh, I will post recipes for both, my madras is how I like it though and probably not standard BIR.

Thanks CK - looking forward to seeing it. I don't think there is standard BIR Madras.

Some members swear on with and without both/either lemon juice and methi. I have always included both, but am very curious to see other variations.

Both look great CK.

Jerry made a good point though in another thread....I have also rarely (if ever) seen chunks of dried fenugreek (or fresh coriander) floating around in a BIR curry....have you? 

Having said that, I do the same....

They look great CK
I never tire of curry pictures
As for the question above
I've only seen loads of dried fenugreek, in meals which boast it in their title.
Coriander, on the other hand, is always used very sparingly
Sometimes just a couple of leaves!

CK,

i was only expecting 2 pics and felt duped until the 3rd pic appeared on the scroll. wow - looks my kind of madras for sure.

i've just put passata in as u suggested - well pleased with the result (used 1 chef spoon initially ie 4 tbsp and then tried 2 chef spoon - i think the 1 chef spoon is enough). many thanks.

i'm also interested in the dupiaza as i've had it in restaurant and liked it despite i believing it's being based on bhuna. the mixture of soft and more crunchy onion was what sold it.

Sweet work CK.
I also love looking at curry pictures and sometime find this section to be the most rewarding on CR0.

Jerry I find the addition of passata or tin tom juice is the key for me in a madras, lovely.  The chopped coriander floating in it I actually copied from a BIR near where I live, all their dishes come served like it unless you specify otherwise, I go over the top sometimes as I love the stuff

i always add all the plum tomato juice into the base , with a few plum toms for good measure. would you guys avoid adding tom puree and pasatta together in a madras?
