Topic: My latest attempt

[curryhell]

Curryhell's North Indian was nigh on identical to my local T/A.The only thing I would omit is the mango chutney as I found it a bit too sweet,bearing in mind the spicy onions that went in were also sweet and contained mango chutney as well.The addition of a dollop of massala paste for me completed the dish.

Just a question jb.  When you say my NIS was nigh on identical to your local TA, did you mean Spice or the Elaichi (hopefully the former)?  As you're well aware, both dishes have that North Indian taste to them but the textures differ somewhat and there are subtle flavour differences as well.  My recipe is aimed at Spices version but now i intend to try and replicate the Elaichi version, hence my questions on the red masala paste :.The NIS mission goes on

Sorry for the delay in answering been on holiday.Sorry to say I meant Elachi not Spice,to me the spicy onions made it a very close copy.
