well i don't have anything against people buying ready meal curries but its not for me i just think they are bland to be honest i dint really buy anything ready made anymore i make it myself i.e. pizza, chili con carne ,spag bol i just find it better knowing whats in my food the amount of salt and colouring and preservatives etc.
But the thing that gets me most is when people say i cooked a curry last night and they take a jar of sauce and just add meat now that's not cooking is it? :

hi domi
to be honest i don't order madras at my bir so couldn't really compare it but it was damn nice even my missus who usually goes for the pathia said she really enjoyed it so i had to have done something right as for the base its only the 2ND one I've done the other being Ca's think your right about this one suiting the hotter curries I'm nearly out now so ill be making this 1 again and Ca's both good bases for different curries

hi tye
think you might be after a chicken saag recipe think there are a few on here

ray
yeh followed the recipe for quantity but cooked it my own way did not turn out bitter, i made sure i cooked out the garlic and onions to aviod the bitterness instead of just putting the garlic in the blender like the recipe says seems to work like that

ray
i think i have a portion of ca's base left in the freezer ill try it with that next time just thought id give the new base a try it did turn out very nice with the admin base. id like a good patia recipe theres a couple on here ive seen and i have my own which ive used for years but dont think its authentic i dont really eat it its more for the missus

ray
the base i used was posted by admin the boss it just says new base the tikka is ca's recipe i did soak the skewers but they still burned ill stick some foil around the ends next time
