In the meantime, I have put a unified version of the recipe for this month on the web so that it is not necessary to follow two or more hyperlinks in order to read everything.

Nice one, makes things easier, even though was my goto bhuna recipe for quite a while

I recall at the time saying I heated my jars in the oven. Actually my knowledge now informs me this method will not truly remove the above risks.

Whats your method of steralisation now?

QuoteAlso shouldnt the next group test be in a new post, not a continuation of this Madras one?

Well, no, because this isn't a "Madras" thread; it is a Group testing thread, as can be seen from the "Subject:" line.

** Phil.

But it was about Madras, now Bhuna, next onion bhaji or pathia or whatever, but as it gets bigger the harder it gets to locate any test info in the future., where as Group test Madras, Group test Bhuna etc in their own topic is easy and rapidily available and not lost on page 34 or whatever it gets up too

Mmmm bhaji's 

I get the group test thing,
I have no issues with using your own base/spice mix combo, but what I don't get is not sticking to the process and techniques of the recipe.
How you cook a curry is one of the most important parts in the curry jigsaw, and not following the process of the recipe will result in a greatly different curry, more so than using a different mix powder etc

Also shouldnt the next group test be in a new post, not a continuation of this Madras one?

Yer sure it will be fine in a pot but a longer cooking process. I would leave out the garlic and add a little white vinegar if it

The red hot chilli sauce is excellent. As you say Andy, adds a lovely depth of flavour.

Which reminds me  I need to get some dried chillies and get a batch made, soon get through it 

Quality looking madras(s) there CH

Had one a good while ago, and have to say it was tastier and hotter than I was expecting, but have never bothered to get one again

Cheers all 

Both recipes are yours Chewy, the Balti is the one that uses Mangal Balti Masala and the Vindaloo using the red hot chilli sauce which adds a fantastic depth of flavour
