Topic: CA's Chicken Dhansak

[deckitout]

I made a Dhansak friday, it was superb, I think I am equaling my local BIR now, I think the only improvement I could use is the spiced oil, that is something I haven't tried yet.

CA
One recipe I don't feel I have cracked yet is CTA, tried various but my local dish comes out very sweet, and very cocnut flavoured, CTA's vary an awful lot but I am not there yet.
Any ideas CA

I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know what CTA is DIO?   

Did you mean CTM (i.e. Chicken Tikka Masala) perhaps?

Sorry my mistake, I meant CTM lol

Hello there deckitout i use this recipe http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1823.0
do not change nothing at first make it to the letter, then make the masala sauce, again do not change anything.
Then add 1-2 ladles of the sauce and add chicken tikka, taste with friends or other half and get their/her/his feedback ( i usually use 2 pieces of chicken tikka per person when experimenting as my pieces of tikka are made by cutting chicken breasts length ways into 3 and marinate).
Then make another again 1-2 ladles of masala sauce then with your feedback written down alter adjust to your liking, i do my experiments  ;D on wednesday nights has i have darts night and thats where my feedback comes from for each curry i make.Then you have a varied opinion of your food and get a taste/texture/heat and even look to please most peoples taste buds.
Hope this helps.

Hi Rich,

It feels like a CA cooking week from all the threads

Yep it sure does. CA's dishes getting quite a bit of exposure lately and quite right too.  I have tried most of his recipes and have yet to come across one that hasn't been wonderful.

You're too kind, Ray, and a regular good (and helpful and postive) guy!....however, if I were you, I'd reorder my preferences, on my profile, and put your (I mean my!) wife first and ManU last!

Thank you kind sir - but its straight out of the pan - the only photo edit was the drop shadow around the dish to make it more normal

best, Rich
