thats excellent thanks!
made the base last nite. didn't hav enough onions tho! but made it anyway. ill maybe go down and get some and make it again. my base sauce doesn't look like the pictures ive seen tho. the ones ive seen have had a top of oil. theres no oil present in mine that i can see!
also if you wouldn't use tomato soup, what would you use?

thanks!

ok after much much much searching on this forum i can't seem to find a tikka masala recipie that recommends the base gravy. i've never made a curry gravy, and when i make korma i usually marinade the chicken in Patakas Tikka Paste.
i then put garlic puree, oil, cumin seeds, cinamon stick in with some pataks korma paste.
fry this. add the chicken and seal it. add some water, add some ground almond to thicken it out.
then some coconut, then cream, then the most important condensed milk!.

this is really easy to make. mostly because i dont have to make "curry gravy"

is there anyway to knock up a tikka masala quickly in the same way or do i need to make the gravy?

ideally im looking for someone to post me the curry gravy ingredients and instructions. and the Masala sauce ingredients and instructions! i know how to make the chicken tikka so i dont need that!.
im hopeless and can't find any reciepies that dont have some random ingredient thats not explained like "Spice mix" ..

THANK YOU!!!!!
