I tried to get it (Mr Naga) from Abduls in Tunstall the other day but they looked at me like I was a nutter. Will be going Pac foods later in the week to have a mooch around so hopefully I will get some from there.

Can't wait to try me some Mr Naga  ;D

haha, It's all subjective. I add chilli to nearly everything I eat, Even beans or tomatoes on toast and eat jars of Jalapeno's from Homebargains as snacks in between my meals yet others think I am mental  :o

Keep on searching for that all ellusive "Hot sauce" in the meantime I like Nando's extra hot as a saled dressing....nom!

Cooking Methods / Re: How to make a curry milder

Great tips. For me a curry can't be too hot but not everyone has my asbestos palate so may use these.

I have done another tonight (3rd one in 6 days lol) I made a fresh spice mix (Cory anders mix,missing out the cardomom as I have no powder and it's not my fave) and using Andy Rhodes madras recipe from 13.5 Chicken Madras (CRO, based on 976Bars madras) [9/10].
It was fab! Still a little thick but I think my base is not watery enough. It had the right heat (I could have hotter/ Hubby wanted milder) so a nice compromise and the naans were lovely and garlicy.

I stink!! No more curry till Saturday now as my daughter wonders why I smell only of garlic butter lol  ::)

Yes, I used your tip of rolling the tea towel thingy around the edges. Worked a treat :)

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Mixed powder
February 18, 2014, 06:17 AM
I was wondering that too. When I made my first batch of base gravy last week I made a amall amount of spice mix (1oth zaal recipe) and it'll soon be gone.
I wondered if using the hot madras curry powder (Rajah) might be used in its place for the next madras for a taste test and also if not which spice mix I shall make next (with hot curries being the staple food in this house).

Time and testing will tell  :)
