Hi Peten and welcome.  I joined my self recently and it is a great site.  I also have been making curries for abot 20 years and never realy got close to a BIR curry so hopfully this site will guide us. 

Wheres the best place to post my chiken tika masala recipe?  It in PDF format.  Oh and by the way thanks for you advice george.

Thanks for your advice Stew, I think part of the problem with this base is the way I cooked it.  I put too much oil in because the recipe called for 'cups' and I mistakenly used a mug!  Als, I think I might of burnt the spices at the end.

I did however findthat the finished gravey was darker than anything I had seen before and it was more like a finished curry rather than a base!

I do have a recipe for chiken tika masala that is extreemly good and authentic to BIR curries.  It was given to me by a friend and it is flawless.  I would post it on here but it probably is already on here somewhere but if anyone wants it I ll post it.

Have now made this curry base and im a bit disapionted.  I have a few pictures on my phone and I will try and download them but the base its self doesnt taste like a BIR curry to me.  I could have done something wrong but it still seems way off the crries from around these parts (northeast). 

Will try Darthphal next and post the results.

I am about to make this base, my first recipe from this site.  I will let you know how it goes.

I agree with CurryCanuck for what its worth,  standardising the measures so they are all the same throughout the recipes.

LOL hadi.  ;D

I have tried this curry and frankly it wasnt worth the effort.  To be honest I think it is a bit of a red herring!

Has anyone tried this sauce yet and if so was it good?

Thanks Barry, I will trust them becuse the folk on here sure seem to know there way around the BIR curry making process.
