Topic: red massla paste from the Zaal,Fleet

[Masala Mark]

Hi SP,

Great, looking forward to viewing.

I noticed watching the short half one that is already on line for the Red Masala, you see 1 chef spooon of Methi leaves go in, someone taking notes a little later reads out a list and says either a tablespoon or dessert spoon of Methi leaves.

The visual will definitely help it all come together.

Thanks again for viewing it and working through it.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Please find below the clips of the red / masala / sauce for your delectation.

Zaal - Masala Red Sauce Clips

Thanks SP, have just watched and a great view.

At the end he adds it to a pot and puts it on the flame, not sure if this was without the onion mix that was cooked, or with the onions and how long cooked for before blending.

Hopefully this will help trigger people's memories from when there for those last bits of it.

Cheers,
Mark

I made the red masala paste this morning
I cooked a ctm except with precooked veg
Is that a cvm?
I used the Zaal method and I was amazed at the aroma
Really BIR
It was absolutely incredible
But I think I mucked up
I cooked it, for a little too long, and killed it
I froze the red paste and will be definitely trying this again
I also tried the roshney (or whatever it's called)
It came out similar to a hot rhogan josh
I think the Zaal base is very good too
One of the best I have made

Thanks for the recipes
Hope people can go back
Sorry if this sounds in any way negative, but I still don't feel that I've closed the gap in my cooking
Does anyone really feel they have?

By the way, I cooked the roshney on my big cooker, and got all the singing coughing bit
Lot's of flambe
Pretty much like your videos
But still no extra magic
So my big cooker idea is out the window again
Never mind - back to the drawing board

I cooked this paste tonight in preperation for a forthcoming curry-fest.I have to say it smelt fantastic,pure essence of BIR CTM.Next job base sauce I'm sure the the CTM will be spot on.

Don't know how i missed this .  Thanks for posting Russ.  Well, this certainly clears up the majority of the queries.  Jb, when you made this up for your very tasty looking curry fest the other week, did you add any sugar to the masala sauce?  I still have this nagging memory in my mind of Az tasting it when it was cooking all in the pot and realising there was no sugar.  I think he then proceeded to add 1-2 chef spoons of sugar.  Any help from the other members of the F5 would be appreciated.  I've been doing a little reseach into red masala sauce and want to make it in the very near future and of coursewould like to do it proper justice like the rest of the Zaal stuff

Why not drop the chef an email regarding any outstanding issues?

Yes as per the original recipe on the first page of this thread I added two spoon's of sugar,Az did forget to add these and then put them in.
