Hi Ray
I cut the video a bit so didnt show how thick it went at the end sorry about that.
It was the best chicken tikka masala ive done upto now.
I cooked it from cold it was nearly 9 mins about 8 and half.
Ive now tried a few meals with the base and i must admit im liking the base a lot.
The chicken tikka and sheek kebab was very tastey.
Oh took me 3 hours today to upload the video on youtube.
Loved the song too looked for a few but this felt like the real deal lol

Well another weekend of cooking and another video enjoy people because i did.
Chicken Tikka Masala, Curry base and chicken tikka.

I agree with you peterandjen i think this is close.... Once we learn more and more we can change it to make our own pastes..... Maybe even change the flavours to what everyone else is used to from there takeaways or bir.
I think we are getting closer now...Things can only get better.

Ive found cooking it longer makes it taste better.
Also when it comes to cooking the curries the heat needs to be full and i cook the spices for a bit before adding the other stuff.
I think you have to watch with this base i think too much of the spice mix could give it a bitter taste.
I tasted the base before i blended it up and i must admit it had a lot more taste the other bases ive tried.
I cooked my base for over 2 and half hours if that helps.

The video ill make sure the sound tracks got some singing in it this time lol

Ive done some base today ready for this weekend.
Made sheek kebabs too and chicken tikka.
Will post the results again in a video will be making the bhuna chicken puri and chicken tikka balti.

Hi JerryM
Thanks....Will keep looking online might have to email pasco to see if they will sell to the public.
The way dipuraja's shown us is great.
I think if people try this way they might be suprised.
I know a lot love the old style of BIR me too! But this for me so far is close to the indian TA.
If we can learn from these recipes then maybe we can get closer to "the holy grail" of BIR cooking.
If we can find a way to do the pastes our selfs then maybe this might get us closer.

Hi JerryM
Np M8
I was just wondering do you know where to buy online the catering sizes of the pastes?
Be good to get the bigger sizes doing a party soon for friends and family so could do with them.
Thank you.

HI JerryM
Great to see you have the pastes! But
You have tikka masala paste not tikka paste.
I`ll post a pic of my jars too.
Great post.


I think i need to sort all of these out lol

Its good to see people are talking about dipuraja's style.
I have to admit i had my douts when i first saw the videos.
Ive cooked a lot of bases and a lot of curries off this site over the years.
Nothing really was close to the BIR Or TA.
So anyway i was out one day saw a shop that did all the pastes and though ill give it a go.
The chicken tikka massala was so good better then my local ta here.
It wasnt tart like i thought it would be which was another shock.
I also did a korma and the madras. All was really good and im now gonna to be doing my curries this way.
All i will say is give it a try you never know untill you try and make sure you dont miss anything out.

I thought that when i saw all the pastes. But it wasnt tart thats what suprised me.

I think its to do with the heat the hotter it is the better the curry will be.
