After cooking the scaled down base sauce kindly supplied by Mick from the Little India I decided to try it out on a few dishes.I did a chicken madras,vegetable balti and masala sauce from the recipe from the Zaal restaurant.
chicken madras...

vegetable balti...

masala sauce...


The mix powder was one from Mick's book,using Rajah premium madras powder kindly supplied by someone on the forum(can't remember who it was sorry but the stuff has a lovely aroma).I used some Jaipur garam masala which was kindly supplied by Ifind4u.Comparing that with my usual Rajah stuff is unbelievable.
Was it as good as my local curry house?? I honestly don't know I've been cooking/preparing over a couple of days and I'm really suffering from spice overload,although the wife was spluttering as I was cooking the spices out making the main dishes so I guess that's a good sign!! The masala sauce was spot on though,very nice indeed.The one I've wanted to nail is madras.It's all going into the fridge ready for tomorrow so hopefully I'll be ablt to judge the results a bit better.
