So i am going back to England in a week and i have arranged to work for him for 2 weeks, and he's promised to show me everything he can within reason given a 2 week window.Obviously the gravy, spice blends, cant promise to get the answers to  everything but i will try and get as much info as possible.

Hi Rozzi, sounds like a great experience is going to be had.

In light of Chris's test on CTM I would love to know his recipes for all of the components that make up his Chicken Tikka Masala i.e. Chicken Tikka Marinade, Masala Paste, the final Masala recipe, etc.

Also,the Keema and Peshwari filling recipes for Nan and the nan recipe itself.

Thanks. ;D

Wow that is a great opportunity!  :o

2 weeks is a long time so you should be able to get quite a bit of detailed info. Personally, the exact details of the entire process of making a Madras would be brilliant - starting from the very beginning (base, spice mix) right up to the finished dish.

Any chance of pics or videos? That would be priceless!  ;D

Yes, I second the last two replies : I can quite happily live on Chicken Madras, Pilau Rice & Sag Aloo (with an occasional Lamb Dhansak or Lamb Biryani for variation), so informed input on any or all of these would be most welcome.

rozzi what a post - I seem to recall George saying something about a post of the month and for me this is it!

I'd love to know his take on Naan bread and also the mixture for Peshwari Naan

For me one of the most important things to watch out for is the base gravy.See if you can see some made from start to finish and watch out for any strange ingredients,or indeed if he uses spiced oil or some sort of chicken stock in it.

Anyway have a great time sure everyone on the forum is extremely envious!!

Well, i think you have enough to be going on with for now Rozzi to occupy  your 2 weeks, but if you can fit it in would love a good tasty chicken phall recipe. Of  course like Stephen a naan bread recipe and also the mixture for Peshwari Naan would be gratefully appreciated.  Whatever you report back, enjoy the experience  :D
