Authentic BIR Chicken Tikka Masala

http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1823.0

I'd rate it 10.

When I saw this thread originally I was quite looking forward to seeing the recipes people are currently using, particularly the recipes from more seasoned curry makers/users.

My staple at the moment is Razor's base with either SNS' Madras or the Garlic Chilli Chicken from the Undercover book.

Agreed.

The garlic chilli chicken from the undercover book is a masterpiece.

Despite what you think of the rest of the book this one is a winner and works well with CA's or Razors base too.

cheers

I'm sorry to be pedantic but have you ever made lorrydoo's original dish as at post #1 on the above thread? On that thread, when you reported back, you thanked 976bar so it sounded like you built in all his amendments which must make it taste different - perhaps worse or maybe better - who knows?

What is your favorite dish at the moment, George?

What is your favorite dish at the moment, George?

Morrisons Chicken Saag at present, overall, I'd say.

The last time I cooked anything off this forum was about 2 years ago and I rated Blade's chicken tikka very highly, like there was no need to search for any better recipe, because it would surely suffice.  Actually, I lie - because I was thinking of curry house fare. I did cook a chilli con carne recipe from here, a few weeks ago.

I'm driven by dinner parties but I haven't entertained for that long, so there's no need to cook any more Indian food just yet. The longer I wait, the better the chance of a mega-breakthrough or greater concensus on the best recipes here at this forum. There's no way I'm going to endanger my health by eating BIR food week in, week out! This hobby quest - call it what you will - may be a bit of fun but it's not worth risking your health for.

lol George - this is really better than anything you have cooked from this forum?
and I think the question was meant, as I suspect you already know to mean something cooked from this forum

Yes I made lorrydoo's original dish as at post #1 on the above thread and that was what I rated as a 10. Following your comment that it was lorrydoo's recipe and not 976bar I acknowdged this error with good humour.

The recipe I followed was that of lorrydoo and so, no I haven't incorporated any amendments. I don't know if the amendments makes this recipe better or worse, but given that I rated the original post as a 10 then who knows I may try them. If the amendments are an improvement then maybe, like the Spinal Tap movie, my rating will go up to 11 out of 10.

Well done for making the original dish, rather than going for substantial modifications from the outset. I'm sure that's the best approach. You really threw us off the trail, though, i.e. anyone who wanted to repeat your success. I would have put money on it that you added 976bar's amendments, so I would have gone for the  amended recipe, in error. It just goes to show what a minefield this place is. When I say 'gone for'. I mean in perhaps 2 or 3 years time when I start working my way through a list of the most promising recipes to try.

Did you ever try Secret Santa's Saag Chicken?

Presumably it is the high oil content that causes you concern.
