Do you find any difference in taste using white tower, I ask as I can't find it.

Certainly agree about the spice for the meal I tend to use between 10-15 ml in a main meal.
Oh Well just an idea.

Just a thought but in the BE post part shown below, he refers to reducing the spicing if using pre cooked ingredients. As most of us presumably use pre-cooked chicken does this mean the base spice quantity needs to be reduced.
Matt
This sauce replaces the one described in the second series of Curry House Cookery. As it is quite well flavoured, it works well with plain cooked meat or chicken. It will produce a perfectly acceptable curry with supermarket bought cooked chicken. If, however, you want to seriously reduce the spicing, then consider pre-cooking the main ingredient with some whole spices.

if you go up to 3 tablespoons of tom puree does it = disaster! or does it turn a dish into more of a rogan josh type of curry. i am interested in how bir get that lovely rich tomato sauce you get with rogan josh. its a thing of exquisite beauty! and its making me hungry! cheers DD![]()
Hi DD,
I cant see why it would mean disaster but i think you purchase the real stuff its call white tower its the best puree Ive used[bir's use it]... its double concentrate but its really thick and needs watering about 30% it will cook lovely into your dish... look for this
the can is about double normal size backed bean can..
Where the hell can you buy white Tower if you don't have access to Asian shops I can't find it on the web.

Trainee Chefs / Beginners Questions / Re: How do you store Ghee?

Hey guys,
I just bought some butter ghee (the standard one that's gold with the cows on) and wondered how I should store it, as it comes with no storage instructions. I'm not sure if it's a fridge or a cupboard job, although I'm thinking cupboard.
Cheers,
BB.
I also have this one and find it stores best in the fridge, lasts for ages.
