Abdul,
I made this to spec this evening other than adding 1.5 tsp of kashmiri chilli powder to the 8 spice mix. I like a little heat in my currys ;D
Observations:-
It was the first time i have prepared a curry without any ginger present in either base or the 2nd stage cook!!
I thought the method of cooking was very easy and left little room for error (ie over frying garlic and spices) similiar in some ways to the way Taz does it.
so little oil used

Conclusion:-
It was a very tasty curry and had the BIR feel about it in both consistency and taste. The pre cooked chicken recipe was very good and made excellent chicken pieces that would compliment any dish.
I am looking forward to future recipes in particular the Ceylon

;D (I have a litre of base left ;D)
Fellow CRO members, you wont go far wrong in following this recipe and gives a good basis to experiment with.
Regards,
Alan ;D
