Hi laynebritton

I am five miles down the valley towards Newport in Aber, my brother is a post man in your neck of the woods.

Just an observation .... there are so many CTM recipes out there - which one is the BIR authentic . I have eaten CTM at numerous restaurants both in the UK & North America -  no two restaurants are the same . So guys , the question is  - if CTM is the foremost dish in the UK , what is the best recipe ? Which taste reigns supreme ? From what I can gather . there are over fifty variations of the this Uk developed dish -  could we possibly short-list the former ?

HI CC,

I think it's a bit like the base sauce recipe there is no one "best recipe".  I think it's down to personal taste, CTM is not my favorite curry but I like one now and again, and this recipe works for me.   I have tried a CTM from all the BIR's near me and I only like one of them and that is similar to this.  Others i've tried have been awfull to be honest one I could have sworn was a microwave curry and i've had others that have been so sweet I couldn't eat them. 

I would be happy to try any other variations on it espcially if someone has actually got a known BIR recipe

CK, this recipe looks great.

You mention spice mix in the ingredients, could you please clarify what this is exactly? Can't wait to cook this one.

Thanks

CK you a quite right I totally agree with you I only eat CTM occasionally due to the fact most in my area are far to sweet and sickly and to be totally honest if someone was blindfolded they would say it's Tomato soup with a shed-load of sugar added to it. 

As I have said in earlier posts they are all jumping on the ?? bandwagon they make the product as cheap and as fast as possible for the punters hanging is to good for them (Twats)

Yep I agree Layne it's cheaply made and people lap the stuff up, i've even had some that didn't use tikka chicken, i'm sure they think people won't even notice  :
