Pleased to be of assistance s3782

Thanks for trying it and reporting back Phil 

I can't really explain why your findings are so different than others'.  Perhaps it's different experiences, different expectations, different cooking methods and/or different cooking abilities.....or something else.

Have cooked this now 3 times and it has been good and reliable. Last night I thought what the heck and added a couple of tbsps of panpot's bunjarra just before then 1st ladle of base. It darkened the end result and added some texture ( although I had already fried off a small onion finely chopped at the start ) but the flavour was lovely. Also added a small dolop of mango chutney.  Not sure of course that this is still then a Madras in the true sense but it went down well nonetheless. MDB's precooked chicken tikka also helped it on its way instead of raw as I have done before. Sorry, no porn, forgot completely.

Interesting observation there on the spiced oil Ruby; how did it taste by itself?

Sorry Ruby, I will re-phrase my question. How did the spiced oil taste by itself?  Just a bit surprised that its inclusion in a curry made with a base (and meat) containing no whole spices didn't have a significant effect on the finished dish.
