Thank you Cory, I will be cooking this tonight and will let you know how it goes, I have also the chicken tikka to taste test today...

I made a start on the Tikka group test yesterday..

I halved the ingredients for the marinade and used 4 chunks of chicken per marinade.





I added a little colouring to one of the marinades because i wasnt fond of the colour but left Maddhur as is.

time for an update.. i did have too many plants this is what happened..

too many plants and no where to live.


time for them to get their own pad


they all go their own place now..




i finished the greenhouse yesterday so im happy with it now. i got a lot flowering now... remember i planted a month late so they are not as fruitfull as they should be

hi cory,

I made another batch of your base yesterday, I nearly filled the pot with onions chopped in half, just threw in the vegetables with no exact amount, increased the oil and spices slightly, filled the pot to just underneath the onions and cooked for 90 mins, let it go cold, then reboiled it for 30 mins, cooled it down and blended it... I just made a jalfrazi with it and it was really good.. Ive started on the slippery slope of experimentation lol 

hi smadkitty,

ive always been useless at rice but this recipe works every time for me.

Jamie, i think your having the same problem as me.. is your skewers really thin? try  grilling them without skewers just rolled them around on the grills grill.

it's how it marries with the BIR's curry recipes that counts.

hi santa.. i didnt think of it like that.. thx

Hi Chris,

it was very grainy it was the same texture as my main meal so I know they didn't just fob me off with anything.. that's a good idea.. I think I`ll ask him next time and cook a curry with my base.. or i could give the delivery man a sample of mine and see what their chef thinks of it..  hey Cory you`d better copyright your base bud lol

I ordered my usual Friday night curry from my ta-way last week.. I ordered a chicken pathia, when i spoke to the guy on the phone I asked him if he could ask the chef if i could have a tray of their curry base. The TA i use is a very good one.. you seem to try them all then stick to the best one, their curries are probably like every bodies else's favourite curries, lots of dishes each with their distinct flavour and texture, so i was really looking forward to seeing their base.. my dish finally came and when i opened the curry base i was very disappointed, it was very bland almost tasteless, it was a lot thicker than our bases on the site. This got me thinking that we all put the effort into making the perfect base when its not entirely needed. We have the main ingredients for the base, is the missing factor that we strive to replicate a myth?
