Topic: Making Abdul Mohed's Madras

[curryhell]

Hi Ed.  Nice to see someone trying Abdul's base and recipes.  To answer your questions, I always use tomato paste diluted 1 part paste to two parts water so i have to up the quantity a bit as  Abdul does not dilute his and uses straight from the tin.  This is captured somewhere in the BIR bandwagon thread  I believe.
As for ginger / garlic, the recipe uses puree but making a paste of fresh would be fine IMO.  It may give a slight difference to the outcome.  Try both and see which you prefer 
Are you using Abdul's basic gravy or is it his enhanced version.  The basic recipe is good and more than comparable to most on here.  His enhanced recipe is top line BIR though and worth the effort and very similar in technique to that shown in CBM's little india video.

Hi CH thanks for the info! I am using his basic base so once that has gone will try his enhanced next.

I have no idea what's occurred with that last image in the OP - it's certainly not the image I posted when making the original post!

I think the image hosting website I was using at the time have recycled the link, which makes me wonder what other images might show up in my older posts in the future?!
