Topic: CA's chicken madras with colouring

[jamieb728]

Hi

Well i said i'd never put food colouring in my food because it didn't add anything to the flavour, but the BIR i use always have a dark look to most of there hotter curries so i thought i would add some to see what the results were and although it's not as dark as the BIR ( i only had red ) it did look good and tasted better than it looked  ;D





And there was even enough left over for a portion tomorrow  ;D

Absolutely beautiful looking curry! - good job.

I would not question the curry in the last picture by looks if it turned up in a takeaway carton! 

Making me crave one now

Hi solar

I said that to my missus,  the cartons are 10 for a pound from poundland funny enough, they are great for base sauce gets you the right portion size every time, if there is 1 nearby would recommend every 1 going down there and stocking up ;D

I'll have to try that Jamie, I recently bought the old fashioned Foil cartons and cardboard tops, but would believe the plastic ones would probably keep the food fresher more longer..

Hi bar

I'd say that they do because of the lid fitting tighter than the foil trays and they are easier to re-use.
Well the extra portion has gone and its true what they say tastes even better the day after ;D

Hang on a minute!

Something's not right here!

How come your cooker top is so clean after just making a curry?

There is usually a 2 foot radius of curry splatter disgrace around mine are a curry cooking episode!
