Thanksfor the feedback Jerry 

You like some sauce with your tikka then

I have to second that. This is the best CTM recipe I've tried to date.

Tried yout CTM today Curry King, spot on!!, used the Rajver base which worked well, and the creamed coconut that i didnt know what to do with. Only thing was the absense of red food dye(non in the cupboard) tricked my brain into thinking it wasnt a CTM, when my taste buds knew it was.Was a bit lazy though and just used a Tikka curry powder/mild curry powder combo from Tesco instead of the spice mix, and made it with butter ghee bought from there too as i saw it on the shelf and fancied trying it!!

ps- the only let down was the supermarket naans!!! err

Cheers Scott

Thanks for the links there Jerry!!  Thought we needed a Tandoor oven to do our own naans, but I'm sure my mums got a gridle, will be experimenting with the breads now!

cheers scott

Glad it worked out Scotty, I know what you mean about the food colouring, it does make the difference.

Scotty,

i use a cast iron frying pan to cook them (i think probably a normal frying pan would work the same). i use setting 4 out of 6 on my electric hob. i cook the lot and then reheat ea one in the microwave while we're eating.

i used to use my gas bbq a lot when i made yeast naans. i've recently switched to self raising flour and no yeast as per the links and find they?re just as good in the pan.

haldi has a tandoor (fantastic pics) and as u say got to be the best option but a little too pricy for me and not as convenient as the hob.

hi people

I've been scanning over the above receipe for ctm it sounds fantastic but i need some help with a few things before i go ahead and try it. What curry gravy do i need and is there a reciepe, and also what is in the spice mix. sorry if these questions seem a little stupid, i'm new to this curry making.

cheers in advance guys

chazza,

i am pretty sure the recipe will go with any of the site's bases (curry gravy). i use saffron and rajver in the main.

spice mix is down to personal preference - there's a section on them - it?s a collection of spices - it has a major effect on the taste of the dish ? its worth trying a few out http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=28.0

i use LB pretty much all the time except for admins jalfrezi when i use the kushi spice mix. a lot of members use Bruce Edwards spice mix.
