Hi

As per the title, please can someone recommend a good BIR authentic CTM recipe please?

I have used the forums search tool to see if anyone has already asked such a question and could not find the answer.

Thanks in advance.

I recommend the Cr0 web site. There, you are spoiled for choice for CTM recipes, many of which have been very well received/reviewed.  Simply look under the CTM section.

George, I hate to think what we would do without your wisdom.

What about lorrydoo's (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1823.0)?

I've not tried it myself and I am not sure if the base is essential to the recipe (or whether you can use any other base), but it might be worth a go.

Hi

Thanks for the specific and helpful reply! - a good suggestion by the looks of things.

It gets to the point that there are over 10 or so recipes for a particular dish, each with a massive thread of discussion and you have to ready over 100 posts in order to make a guess as to which ones are generally considered to be the favourites.

This is why the group tests are good in my opinion, not because they are a definitive judge of which recipe is the best, but they help to narrow down and give a good suggestion on where to make a start at least.

Hi SP,

Never thought I would hear myself saying this, but have you tried Dipuraja's CTM?

Ok, you may want to cut back on the paste's a little, and alter the method slightly to suit but, it does make a suprisingly decent CTM IMO.

What about the Kushi CTM recipe which you posted a few months ago, saying it has the "BIR taste but I would say it's more 'high end' than your usual run of the mill stuff." Your feedback sounded promising.

Do you now rate Dip's CTM even higher?

I just want to say thank you to CA for this recipe (CTM) I made it last night and it is the nicest curry I've ever made...The only trouble is, the missus reckons it's the nicest curry on the planet.

Or what about CA's much celebrated CTM? With accolades like Deadman's (above) and many more, how can this not be the first one to try?

Hi

Thank you for the suggestions - appreciated!

Looked at some of those earlier, just thought at the time that Dip's looked just a little too reliant on Patacks. There is 3 or 4 different types / flavours of pastes that he uses in just that one dish. Don't mind the inclusion of a little bit, but it just seemed excessive!

Always been a fan of CA and his recipes, looking again - it does seem pretty good.

Was really just after a little endorsement from one of the current & regular posters to say - look - I make xyz and I think its pretty good. Rather than (no offence meant) a member with 2 posts that claims its the best curry they have ever made - then never posts again. If you see where I'm coming from.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

I can see where you're coming from now and I'm sorry for my first post in this thread based on your initial query.

If it was me (and it will be when I get around to it) the next CTM I try will probably be Mick's (CurryBarkingMad) because I think it starts with dry powders going into the pan. This appears to be what many BIRs do, so I think it looks promising.
