I need to try this also, maybe over the weekend. Will need to cut the chilli powder a little as full spec is gonna blow my head off!

Hi Bob.  Look at the link below for the latest cut of the recipe.

http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5948.70

Spicy red onions are used which contains diluted mango chutney anyway.  So there is no need to add additional unless you want to, which you obviously wouldn't.  Make sure you use only 1 - 2 tbs of tomato paste already diluted.  My instructions in the final cut could be misinterpreted.  Diluting the chutney actually reduces the sweetness.  And no, i've never made it without.  It's like having beef without the yorkshire pud   Let me know how you get on if you decide to go for it

Many thanks for that Dave....

Guess I've got something to do this weekend now

If either or both of you try it, i hope you enjoy.  Obviously a pic and a few words are  always appreciated.  I can't see me having time this weekend for any curry cooking.  Probably have to dial it in .  Reducing the chilli powder will have no drastic affect on the flavour, and will reduce the impact elsewhere ;D

Hi CH, your link in the post above is taking me to the top of page 2 of this thread, did you actually mean this link:

When you say adding mango chutney is optional because it's contained in the spicey onions are you saying the 1 TBS diluted mango chutney can be omitted? I'm a bit unclear on this point.  And when you talk about dilutes mango chutney how much chutney to how much water?

Last question for now.... In the recipe you state 0.25 tamarind concentrate, but 0.25 of what? (metric tonne??!)  ;D These are a few questions I had about this recipe anyway.

Yes your link is correct.for some reason my posted link is incorrect . As for the chutney, when diluted it should pour very easily. If using the spicy onions as per the latest cut of the recipe, the additional tbs of chutney is optional.  The ratio for dilution will depend on the chutney you use. Re. Tamarind concentrate this should read .25tsp. Hope that clarifies yoiur queries.

EDIT - just checked my link and it takes me to page 8, just like yours :

I wonder if T/A or restaurants use ketchup as an ingredient, the last time i made this dish i used C2G's red onions which is mango chutney chilli powder, red colour and kalonji seeds. Was sweet and tasty still without ketchup

Hi W.  The spicy onions at my local from where my NIS originates definitely uses ketchup in their onions, and who knows what else : ;D

Now this looks like my kind of curry, I love mine to be hotter than the surface of the Sun   ;D

It looks like you're using Bird's Eye chillies, have you ever tried Scotch Bonnets in this curry? I think I'll use Scotch Bonnets to give the curry some extra kick and that fantastic Bonnet flavour.
