How to make lamb madras

The Chef makes it look so simple. You would think that we are all capable of replicating this dish 100%. Have you tried this recipe CA?

[Cory Ander]

No I haven't tried any of his recipes yet Mick. 

I admit I'm a little taken aback by him lobbing everything into cold oil....and adding cold base....is it really THAT simple?  Interesting though....

I really would like to see his base too...hopefully he will post it soon...

Lemon juice in a madras too...tsk tsk

No wonder curries don't taste like the 70s if thats the technique that some chefs use

Well I for one am really pleased that someone has come out of the woodwork to show us. He has good technique, is obviously a REAL chef and displays nearly everything I've seen on Video from many places and from different cook houses.

Kudos to him I say, some will never be pleased but at least it confirms a lot of things, if at least only to me.  ;D

Maybe it is that easy, someone needs to give it a go asap.

BTW I'm pretty certain that is a bottle of lemon dressing rather than lemon juice. Adding that much juice would surely overpower the curry.

I'm looking forward to him posting an onion bhaji recipe - I have requested one. I wonder if he puts potato in it?

[chriswg]

I assume Vindamikka is you Mikka. Looks like most of his comments are from CR0 members.

[chriswg]

I'd like to know if his garlic ginger paste is precooked. If he is adding it cold to cold oil and only simmering for 2 - 3 minutes surely it would still be raw.

[chriswg]

Does anyone live in or near Penrith that could give them a go?

[Mikka1]

Aye Cap'n tis me. ;D
