I've made your CTM Mick and it is spot on. the kids can't get enough of it.

Thought i would try the base i made with the condensed milk in a chicken tikka masala and it turned out really well.
As the condensed milk is very sweet i cut back on the sugar in the recipe. Kids loved it so happy days, loads of base gravy in the freezer for CTM.

Big penny just dropped. Used condensed milk instead of evaporated milk. New something wasn't quite right.
I will make a new base and scrap this one. Thats why you guys are here to help.
Cheers lads

Steve,
The condensed milk was in the base gravy not the actual curry dish.
The base was thin in texture like thin soup. It just seemed to thicken up quickly
at the frying stage so i had to keep adding more base to maintain the consistency.

Is the purpose of condensed milk in the base just for sweetness
in the finished dish or is it used to thicken the sauce.
The reason i'm asking is i made a base over the weekend and
added some condensed milk to see what results i would get.
I made a dhansak which was good and a madras which was ok
but the base seemed to thicken up more than i was used to.
I've only made two bases previously and would like some info
regarding this addition.

cheers

Hi curry lovers,
Just posting to say hi and hoping to cook up some tasty dishes.
I have recently bought Curry Barking Mad & Julian's book recently
so I am not a total newbie but I do have a great deal to learn. Hope
to be posting a lot more in the future, just need to get used to navigating
the site.

Steve.
