hi lorry
did you use bruces' base? i use my own base (Rajver) base to make his chicken chilli masala and turn it in to garlic chicken chilli masala and both taste like dishes i have eaten from my local Rajver. in fact i did this on thursday night ( as well as doing the missus a vindaloo) and had it again last night yummy you can use any good simple base and use these recipes and get fab results :)

regards

I already posted this in another thread, but thought I might repost it here...

Still searching for the elusive BIR Madras, this evening I tried Bruce Edwards recipe.

This was the one. No question that the "taste" was there.   

The recipe looked a little too simplistic on the surface (no onions, garlic, ginger...) but it was perfect.

I used the Saffron base, and pre-cooked the chicken in about 3T of curry base until sealed. My only add was a quarter tomato.

CA's was good. Darth's was close. This was it. Best of all it was about a 7 minute job.

This is my usual. I don't tweak anything personally. There are number of "excellent" Madras recipes on this site, but the simplicity of this one does it for me.

This is the standard and if you have a look round a lot of the other recipes on here are very similar to this as a base curry.

If you are going for a madras I would omit the pepper, that maybe a regional thing but it's not something I find in a madras from any of my locals.
