Topic: Attempt at Madras - with no base!

[Yousef]

Hi All,

I tried this recipe (Kid Curry's Madras - with no base!) at the following link.
Suprising came out very nice and moorish.  The big chef's spoon of puree makes all the difference with the spices.

Recipe
OK!
First take a small onion and grate
2 large clove garlic grated
1 piece of ginger grated (about same amount as garlic)
1/4 chef's spoon salt
1/2 chef's spoon spice mix
1/3 chef's spoon chili powder
1/3 of a chef's spoon puree
1 chef's spoon veg oil
1 restaurant metal curry bowl of water 1/2 full
1 fillet chicken

fry oil with garlic and ginger stirring constantly 2Min's
add onion and salt fry 5 Min's(slowly)
add spices fry a little then add puree,fry some more.
add raw chicken,fry for 1 min

Then add water (remember the raw chicken produces water, so golden rule, you can add but you can't take away).

Cook on low/medium till chicken is cooked
Garnish with fresh coriander a 2 quarters of fresh tomato
The use of lemon was not preferred by the chef!

Hi Stew,

How does it compare to a 'base' version Madras?  It certainly looks good, with a nice ring of oil around the edges of the balti dish.
