hey JB,

I've watched these fellas a few times and I've never seen this before.  On my screen, it looks quite orange.  This goes against everything that I believe to be true but I would say that it is a hotter base gravy! maybe for the use in Madras, Vindaloos, Jal Frezi's and so on.

It could also be their Masala sauce.  I know that Dipuraja doesn't cook his but the Kushi Masala sauce does require cooking and ends up being a very thick paste at the end of the cooking.  It could be this, I don't know?  What do you think it could be?

I really don't know mate.It does indeed look like some sort of base sauce to me(albeit a totally new colour from what I'm used to seeing).I hear what you say about a masala sauce,however I've been watching the cam for ages and I'm sure a while ago he actually cooked a tikka masala in a pan from scratch.Can't be sure but it looked like the usual masla ingredients to me-coconut powder,almond sugar etc. so I really don't know.One thing's for sure -It's better than watching the telly!!  The cam has gone down now so maybe they're doing something they don't want us to see!!

Most BIR's and TA's do have a "Masala" sauce for use in their CTM and I think the usual quantity is roughly 1 chefs spoon or about 3 - 4 tbsp.  You've got to watch these chef's, very crafty they are, talk about slight of hand.  Watching the East webcam previously, they do tend to take the pan away from the range on the odd occasion and return it with a multitude of ingredients, that we can only hazard a guess at.

Did he take the pan away tonight at all, when he was making the CTM?

I didn't see the pot of sauce you are referring to tonight but I think it is probably the chilli sauce. Recipe: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4076.0
