1st attempt at Darth's Base and Madras
« on: May 07, 2007, 03:14 PM »
Here's photos of my first attempt at Darthphall's Curry Base and Madras.
I followed the recipe exept for the chilli powder.(The schwartz HOT curry powder would be enough for the wife. ;D)


Here's everything chopped and put in the pot.

I then made the Madras according to Darth's recipe, once again forgeting the chilli.

Sorry, I forgot to take a photo of the finished Madras in the pot.
Here's the Madras on my plate ready for eating.  lol Looks like a small portion but it's actually a 15 inch plate. ;D

Looks great. Did you make the base exactly as Darth's recipe, or did you downsize it?

Today I'm going to spend the afternoon making Darth's base, and using it for a chicken Jalfreyzi-type curry this evening. I'll post some pics if I can find my camera.

Great site, btw, I haven't been able to contribute yet, but that will change as I'm spending more time at home now.

Hi Paul,  ;) don`t downsize it and you will have plenty to freeze for another time. Happy cooking.........
