Topic: Chicken Jalfrezi with Taz Base

[moonster]

Ray,

Have you tried this yet mate. I made it to spec other than with your spice mix.

it was spot on and you would love this.

for the pre cooked veg i put every thing in at the sametime and added a ladle of taz base until the onions broke up.

really liking the reduction method mate.

stephen,

it is a must try in my opinion, i used razors spice mix and it was the best jalfrezi i have made.

H Alan,

Ray,

Yeah, I have tried a Jal Frezi with the Taz base but I did use the Taz/Mick spice mix  and it was fantastic.

The beauty of using this reduction method to cook a Jal Frezi is, you don't really have to precook the peppers as long as you add them to the pan with the first lot of base.

I'm also having some very good results using this method.

Don't know about you but the more I use this base, the better the results I am having. Have now made about 4 Madras, 3 Jalfrezi, 3 Pathia, and 2 Dupiaza. Each curry tastes better than the one before it. I think maybe I'm getting better (and braver) at taking the initial reduction right back and thereby intensifying the flavours?

Hi Stephen,

If you ever get the chance could you take a photo of the reduced base when you have finished reducing it?

It would be good to compare notes, so to speak.

Cheers,

Paul

I'm thinking of doing a Jalfrezi tonight so I'll see what I can do.

Ray,

pleased you are having success with this base too mate. try it with your spice mix it is spot on.

good idea about the pre cooking the veg in with the first reduction, that is what i will do next time.

doing a beef ceylon tonight using taz base, CA's ceylon recipe and your spice mix. (just call me the plagarisor ;D)

I cant wait to see what it tastes like.

another reason why i like this base is that it takes away the need for you to use any spiced oil

Paul,

on my first reduction i do it until it looks like a slightly watered down hot oily paste out of a pataks jar.

on the second i add the precooked meat mix it up with the paste then add the rest of the base sauce and ingrediants until i get the consistencey i desire which is really quick about 3 mins.

turn off heat sprinkle with corriander cover and leave for 3-4 mins.

then serve

Alan ;D

I made a Bhuna instead and have pasted a pic of the reduction there.
