Hi

Cory Ander - I should have made myself a bit clearer with my intentions, i did marinate my chicken for 48 hours, i then made my ctm, which is now in the freezer waiting my attention which will be on Friday night, i am going to try a pilau rice by Pete so i will let everyone know if it tasted nice.

CurryCanuck - Thanks for your thoughts, was 48 hours too long, i did not have a real choice as i set it off on Friday night and only had time on Sunday to complete things. I would not have left it any longer than that though, after cooking ctm i froze it as soon as it was cool. I cannot wait for Friday to devour it.

Thanks all for your feed back.

Hi Baby spice

Welcome to the club, i have been a member for about a week, have a look at my first efforts done on Sunday this should give you some encouragement.

I used Ifindforu - base and Curry King's chicken tikka masala.

Thank you for the feed back much appreciated, gives you confidence to carry on. I have not tried it as yet, so i will have to let you know if it tingles the taste buds, i am keeping it till Friday night and i am going to have a go at a Pilau rice.

I have now completed my first ctm using Curry Kings recipe and Ifinfora's base, i marinated the chicken for 48 hours and cooked in a fan assisted oven on about 220^oc for about 15 mins until starting to blacken on the edges, when i added this to the masala sauce it looked a bit off putting but it still tasted great, i cannot wait to do another one.
Thanks for the recipes, your comments would be as valuable as ever.

Cheers
Dai.

Hi All

I have now completed my first ctm using the Ifindfora curry base and Curry Kings above recipe, i marinated the chicken for 48 hours and cooked it in a fan oven on about 220^0c for about 15 mins it was starting to blacken on the edges so took it out.I then added it to the Masala sauce, but as you can see from the picture the slight black edges makes the look not so appealing. Any way being my first attempt i cannot complain it still tasted very nice but i now need to do a pilau rice to accompany it.
Your comments would be appreciated.

Hi Laynebritton

I have so far only found one so far in Newport "Masala Bazaar" where are the other two, i only actually live five miles away from you so perhaps we could liase some time.

Cheers
Dai

Hi Laynebritton

I will try the ones i have now, and learn a quick lesson and go for the tried and tested TRS ones, do you buy your spices online or locally.

Hi JB52

Yes my observations take me in the same directions, perhaps we will understand soon the reason for it after making a couple of dishes, i have nearly got all the ingredients i need, to do the recipe that of Curry Kings you are referring to, i cannot Waite it looks superb, my mouth waters ever time i see it.
