Hi SnS,

Thanks for the reply... I'll enjoy the madras some more before maybe looking at someone else's base for the 'gay' curries for 'er indoors. 

Any suggestions where I can look for a good CTM recipe?  I had a quick scour of the site but never really had much luck.

Thanks again!

*Bump*

Gonna make a fresh batch of base very soon and was still wondering what other curries this base will work well with?

Thanks for your help!

In the meanwhile there are plenty of other recipes here that you can use this base with.

Could you point me at the alternative recipes this wonderful base can be used with please mate?

If people are really struggling to get hold of Kashmiri Mirch, it really is easy enough to find online and can be delivered in well under a week.  That's how I got mine...  in fact most of my ingredients were got online (with the exception of the common bits) since I don't know of ANY "Asian Grocers" anywhere near where I come from (Thetford, Norfolk, UK)

I will also add that up until today, I've tried using books from "The Curry Book" and the highly over-rated "Curry Secret" by Kris Dhillon which just makes your house stink of garlic and onion, so this website/forum is a massively great find for me.

For your information, I only happened across this website when I was playing a football flash game on mousebreaker.com and saw it advertised there.  Fluke, but brill!

Hi, I'm a n00b but I think I stumbled across the jackpot thread in my first visit, and I'm back to say hi and THANKS for an EXCELLENT recipe.  I tried this yesterday (after waiting a week for all the spices to arrive) and was even daring enough to make it for four people without any testing what-so-ever beforehand, and I have to say, it was a resounding SUCCESS!

Excellent stuff SnS...  I followed it to the letter and it worked a treat... and it can only improve with practise which = epic win!

Thanks again!

I might make sure I've got this one nailed on before I venture into other curries like CTM and Korma for 'er indoors taste.

I'm assuming if I want to make Vindaloo out of this wonderful Madras, I just add more chilli powder.  ;D
