They dont do this in the resturant.The point he said was you can make a curry without a base.

Actually all the measurments where chefs spoons!

Welcome!!

They also should me their way of making the madras with no base!

OK!
First take a medium onion a grate
2 large clove garlic grated
1 piece of ginger grated (about same amount as garlic)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp spice mix
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/3 of a chefs spoon puree
1 chefs spoon veg oil
1 restaurant metal curry bowl of water 1/2 full
1 fillet chicken

fry oil with garlic and ginger stirring constantly 2Min's
add onion and salt fry 5 Min's(slowly)
add spices fry a little then add puree,fry some more.
add raw chicken,fry for 1 min

Then add water

Cook on low/medium till chicken is cooked
Garnish with fresh coriander a 2 quarters of fresh tomato
The use of lemon was not preferred by the chef!

I hope i haven't forgot anything,i will tell you the spice mix later,but i suppose you all have your favs!  

First night was a bit quick they were very busy,But last night went at 17.00 so they could spend a bit more time showing me.As with base because the volume is drastically reduced they wrote down what they thought would componsate this!

Amazing,What can i say!!

Last night was my second night i was there for about 1hr so much to take in.And when the chef said i should have brought a video camera i could not believe how enccomadating, and friendly, and how much they wanted to show me.They also should me their way of making the madras with no base!

I'm making the base right now,with their spice mix which they gave me in a large curry carton.Also a carton of their fresh garlic and ginger mix.

When i have finished i will report with all the ingredients for the base and the mix,fingers crossed .

Oh! by the way the place was a small town in South Wales called Bargoed!!

I  was in my local restaurant kitchen last night,What an experience!
Been going there for over 15yrs but until i found this amazing site over a month ago,Ive never thought abt asking to get in their kitchen.

Anyway it was amazing and when i came out i realized how much goes into the making of my curry.I was even a bit disappointed to how far i think iam from getting it right.Just when i thought m base was just right.

I'm going again tonight so i,ll try to remember everything and get back to you 2morro!!

They do a mean vindaloo!!
In fairness all the food in my opinion is of a high standard.?

Caerphilly!!
