Thanks gents. I think the vindaloo is a really tasty dish now but the madras and the korma are now history hehehehe. These will be the first videos I have ever posted anywhere so it should be interesting, if not distracting from making the curries.

Thanks

I have been making these 3 curries more than any of the others recently. But each time I make them I find that I am tweaking them a little here and there, apart from the madras which I like as it is now. I have made videos of each of these curries and hope to post them with recipes soon.

I don't use potato most of the time Phil but I have on occasions, it doesn't harm the recipe to add it anyway. I wouldn't say that my vindaloo is much like I get around here as they tend to be in the 'hotter madras' category, my one is quite rich and hot. Well, hot for me anyway.

P.S.  Initial impressions were correct.  An excellent curry, SR, confirmed by the fact that when I went back into the kitchen a couple of minutes ago in order to put cling film over the remaining curry, pickles, onion salad, etc., I dipped the remaining 1/4 chapati in the sauce and it was excellent.

** Phil.

Thanks for trying this Phil and also for the feedback on the curry and the recipe presentation. It certainly looks like a very nice curry you have made and I would quite happily dip a chapati or 3 into it. I left out the methi leaves mainly because of the dish I was trying to re-create from my local takeaway which had no methi in at all. I normally use methi in my hot curries especially my vindaloo recipe which I hope to post soon.

That's great Chris, please let me know how you get on. How are you planning on cooking it? I do mine in the oven on full for about 6 minutes a side then grill for about another 3 minutes a side, maybe a bit longer if the chicken pieces are larger.

Regards

Chicken tikka skewers tonight...

Looks brilliant! Not the sort of thing I should be looking at while eating my porridge! :)
Thanks Naga, although I don't mind a bit of porridge but I have to agree, not quite a substitute.

Hi Chris, the recipe I use is as follows. Its very similar to the ones you find here. I do a first marinade stage of tandoori masala(trs) lime juice, salt and yellow food colouring powder. Just mix the chicken in this and leave for 20 minutes or so. Then I mix together this

1tbs kashmiri masala paste
1tbs tandoori paste
1tbs tikka paste
8 tbs natural yogurt
1tbs g/g paste
1tbs mustard oil
1tbs methi leaves
1 1/2 tsp Coleman's garden mint
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp tandoori masala
Juice of 1 lime plus a bit of zest   

add the chicken and leave in an airtight container in the fridge for 24 hours.

Hope this helps

thanks

Rob
