This has probably been covered before but earlier on this week I made a basic quick chicken tikka curry (not ctm), however this time I changed my method and added the preheated base very slowly allowing it to reduce/evaporate right the way back before adding more, this I did until I ended up with a very thick darkish caramelised curry.
What amazed me was the savoury taste it was delicious and my question is does anyone else do this with their curries?

Well I finally managed to taste a Malik's takeaway.



                   ^^^ Chicken Tikka Starter ^^^


                   ^^^ Bombay Potato Starter ^^^


                   ^^^ chicken Tikka Bhuna ^^^


                   ^^^ Chicken Tikka Masala ^^^


                   ^^^ Keema Naan ^^^


                   ^^^ Complete Meal ^^^

I feel a bit bad giving my opinion as the Maliks videos have been so helpful in the past to us but anyway here goes,

We ordered and behind the counter there was a plasma screen showing the food being prepared, the cost was ?21.95 unfortunately it should have included a plain naan as well but that was missing, so we rang up to complain and they gave us a  code number over the phone for a 10% discount next time (won't be cashing that in unfortunately)

The tikka and bombay potato starters were very tasty but the bhuna was tasteless with not enough onion, the CTM was a big disappointment it was full of artificial colour and so sugary sweet that we couldn't eat it.

The keema naan although it looked a bit ropey was very tasty and the keema filling was spilling out but tasted as it should.

All in all I wouldn't go back as it was well under par for the cost  a complete waste of 22quid   IMHO

I just wish I didn't have to be so harsh  :-X but thats just how it was unfortunately

Hi all,
Sorry my first post is a question but I have made both the Darth's 100% base and also the Ashoka base (both fantastic bases to work with)and have frozen both in 500ml portions.
I was wondering if its safe to make up a curry with chicken and a defrosted base and then to refreeze or am I asking for food poisoning by doing this?

Thanks in advance, Rob.
