Topic: a nice saturday night curry

[dafinchycode]

hi  its been quite a while since i last visited the site "looks better to" i`I've been dipping my toes in & out of creating Curry's for the last twenty years or so I've followed recipes on this site to the letter sometimes with success then using the same base the next time it tastes like its out of the tin i` i abandoned it all out of dissapiontment I've been buying takeaways "chicken tikka madras" for the last year or so & noticed the overall quality is dropping but the prices are rising
walking around the local shops & markets there seems to be a bit more choice of fresh ingredients for example theres fresh fenugrek when last time i cooked it was hard to find the dried version
 while watching the chefs in open kitchens the ingredients in the final dish is minimal so I'm guessing the flavour is in the base gravy they ladle in
my question is out of all the recipes on this huge site which one would you recommend I'm not a bad cook so i can follow instructions easily but I'm sorry that i have nothing to add to the forum time will tell

Chewy Tikka's Chicken Madras has attracted nothing but praise.  Although I have not tried it myself, I am certain in vew of the 100% positive feedback that it has attracted that it will be the ideal recipe for you to try.

Chewy will have to confirm whether this is the definitive link :

I can vouch for Chewy's Chicken Madras - it was only the 2nd CRO curry I'd made - and I was delighted with the result - and the excellent way it accompanied a couple of bottles of Franziskaner Weissbier - which I enjoyed whilst watching the Everton/Man Utd game on TV (which was less enjoyable). However, I must declare it was Monday night - but I can't think of any good reason why this curry would not work perfectly well on a Saturday.
