Hi Gazman

Hey Razor i am crap at this so can you tell me exactly what to do so i can make a chicken madras with rice please ?

Is it just the madras recipe you want, or do you want a recipe for pilau rice also?

I'm out for the day today but should be back home for about 3ish, I will PM you then with a recipe for both if you wish?

Hi Garry,

Check you inbox mate.

Just made this base and looks good. The oil/spice/sugar paste was not as thick as yours - it seemed far more oily.

I have not added the 1 litre water at the end as it seems to be the right consistency already. Does this seem okay to you Razor or has something gone wrong somewhere?

Hi Ramirez,

So sorry for the delayed reply, been doing some building work in my house , so not had internet access.

Just made this base and looks good. The oil/spice/sugar paste was not as thick as yours - it seemed far more oily.

This may be a silly question, but you did add tomatoes didn't you?

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I have used different brands of tinned toms and the consistancy does vary a little.

As for the consistancy of the final base, it should be quite runny, bit like soup.  How much base would you say you ended up with in the end and have you cooked anything with it yet?

It certainly looked and smelled the business. The curries also came out pretty good. I'm gonna give this another bash over the weekend so I'll see how much it yields.

Hi

just made a batch of rays base and i must say it smells great hope it tastes as good, i decided to 1 1/2 times the amount his recipe says and I've ended up with loads of the stuff not portioned it up yet waiting for it to cool down but i reckon I've got at least 15 plastic takeaway tray full. I'll be knocking a curry up with it tomorrow for dinner if i can wait that long its calling me now ;D

Hello Razor,

I am gonna have a go at this base, but as you no, I am not a big garlic fan, & a full bulb does seem a lot, certainly for me anyway.

So would reducing the amount down to say, 5 segments effect the over all finished product?
Or should I just go ahead, & see what I get.
