Topic: CA's Chicken Vindaloo

[Cory Ander]

Looking good Denno50, thanks for posting your pics 

[Tomdip]

Made this up a couple of nights ago for a vindaloo loving friend - while waiting for him to pick it up a few curry loving locals in the pub had a taste - and it received rave reviews from all.

The vindaloo is lovely - I used a few fresh green chillis and the combo of spicing/sugar and vinegar is superb, and very moreish. Am working through your recipes with the Taz base and they have all been spot on!

Hi Tomdip,

Out of interest what spice mix are you using - Taz or the CA one?

Cheers,

Paul

Are you trying to get me in more trouble with Cory Ander??? 

I am using a variation of Taz mix powder with no chilli powder in as other half is allergic to it.

that must be the worst ever allergy to have, very sorry to hear your wife suffers from this terrible affliction.

I have no objection to people making changes to my recipes gary, provided they:

a)  clearly state the changes they made (to make it clear to others)
b)  understand that the result they get may be different (for better or for worse) as a consequence

Naturally, I would prefer people to follow my recipes (including my base) exactly, on the first occasion, for a more meaningful result.

Perhaps you are getting confused about my comments regarding the "Group Tests"?  In this case, I firmly believe that the recipes should be tested exactly as the author intended because it is a comparative test against other recipes.  Changing the recipe will change the results and invalidate the basis on which the comparisons should be made.

I am pleased to hear that TD.  Naturally, I think mine is better (IF made exactly to spec!) 

I would be very interested to hear how you find it TD 

PS:  my spice mix/mix powder/masala (whatever you wish to call it) doesn't have chilli powder in it...perhaps you'd care to try that too?

Hi CA,

Just to re-iterate - all your recipes I've tried so far have been really excellent - even with the Taz base. 

I had spotted your mix had no chilli in - but was missing a couple of the ingredients (ginger powder for one) so stuck with a modified Taz one.

Will deffo do you the courtesy of following your recipes to the letter and let you know the difference.

Too true Jimmy - she won't eat peppers or chilli - though strangely paprika has no effect.  Could be worse - my last gf was a veggie  ;D
