AI Summary
Scott sought suggestions for using a 200g block of pure creamed coconut in a main curry dish, preferably with lamb or chicken. Community members recommended incorporating 50g into a base sauce or using it in a Chicken Tikka Masala (CTM). Scott later confirmed he tried a CTM recipe and enjoyed it, noting that the absence of red food dye affected his perception of the dish.

Try sticking 50g or so into a batch of base sauce to enhance the taste.

Hi Scott
Maybe you could use some in a CTM.

As Bobby has said it can add a certain tang to a base or why not try my CTM here:

Tried yout CTM today Curry King, spot on!!, used the Rajver base which worked well. Only thing was the absense of red food dye(non in the cupboard) tricked my brain into thinking it wasnt a CTM, when my taste buds knew it was.Was a bit lazy though and just used a Tikka curry powder from Tesco.... and made it with ghee bought from there too!!
