UPDATE!!!!!

Version 1.00 made and tested.

Not the perfect curry yet but a fantastic first attempt.  Lovely caramelised onion gravy, sweetness from coconut and ground almond, heat from fresh green chilli, a little sharpness from fresh lemon, some soothing warmth from cinnamon.

Recipe and method below:

Add a teaspoon of hot curry powder to a pan of boiling water, and boil 2 large onions, half a carrot and a quarter green pepper for 10 mins.

Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee, and gently fry 1 teaspoon of Tumeric, 1 teaspoon of Madras powder, 1 teaspoon of Ground Coriander and half a teaspoon of Methi Powder for 2 mins.

Add the boiled onions, carrot and pepper and gently fry for an hour.

Add a teaspoon of chopped red chilli and a tablespoon of tomato puree, stir well and continue to simmer for another 30 mins.

Blend to a sauce, add 2 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of ginger, a cinnamon stick, about 80g of creamed coconut (block) and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Continue to simmer for another hour.

Remove cinnamon stick, add a tablespoon of natural yoghurt and chopped coriander, and squeeze fresh lemon and sugar and salt to taste.

Today is the day boys!!!

Ulrimate Sauce v1.00 will be made today in a small quantity.

Good luck with that. Personally I wouldn't even order it because it contains cauliflower. So I'd never know how it tastes.

I wouldn't advertise the cauliflower content.

In fact - I can guarantee that in the next 5 years, each an every one of you will go into a BIR and get a 'Chicken Ultimate'!

Your not the artist previously known as Big Boaby by any chance?

Haha. One prtion of cynical sauce please. 

I'm not sure what's prompted this response.  Who is Big Boaby?

Hi Dave,

Won't be long before we see 'Chicken Ultimate' on your website!

In all honesty I like the difference in the curry dishes I make / eat so I cant see an 'all in 1 curry' generating much interest.

Me too - do I go for somehing hot, something creamy, something sweet, something tomatoey?  This will have it all.

Complex flavours that you will taste separately before they unite on the tongue.

More like a hotter, sweet Tikka Massala - less tomatoey, more coconutty

Should appeal to those who like Korma, Passanda, Tikka Massala, Madras and Ceylon.

I like Madras.  I hate sweet curries, coconut, and chicken tikka masala.  So it's not clear why it should appeal to someone such as myself who likes Madras but who hates those other three elements.  Indeed, it's not at all clear to me that even the Ultimate Curry, should such a thing ever exist, could possibly appeal to such a disparate audience as Korma lovers, Pasanda lovers, CTM lovers, Madras lovers and Ceylon lovers.  I think you might be a lot more successful if you were more conservative in your aims.

Have you tried a Ceylon?  When done right, it's a deliciously hot, savoury, sweet, thick dish - with heat from chilli and fresh herb, sweetness from coconut and sharpness from lemon.

Ultimate is going to be better than this!

The idea is that this becomes a staple on any Indian Restaurants menu, and becomes the sauce of choice for all curry lovers.

Good luck - I think you're going to need it. Most of us are finding it quite difficult to even draw level with the best dishes from BIRs, let alone producing something which is even better.

Thanks George - I really believe this is going to be the best curry sauce in the UK.
