Hi CCL
I've tried most brands available, over time.

But Marks&Spencer own brand tubes of Italian, are very light and mild tasting
the best I've come across for a long time.

well worth checking out @69p

cheers Chewy

Hi Chewy,
Made your base last night and thought I would knock up CA's ctm. Top class base mate  As it has a slight sweetness due to the way the onions are cooked I think I over done the sugar a bit so will adjust accordingly, daughter wants it tonight :

Many thanks guys for your input on this, will try M&S as well as lidls . Interesting one with passata will give it a go. 
The taste I get is after I have watered it down with a ratio of 1 paste to 2 parts water so think it's time to try another brand 
Global, not to far from me ifindforu 

Cheers,
Rob

Hi, can anyone tell me where I can buy "white tower tomato paste?".  After making a madras last week my wife told me only what I was thinking which was "it tastes overpowered by tomato paste ". I think it would be a wise move to maybe consider trying a different brand as I am currently using any supermarkets own brand.

After reading several threads I have noticed the "white tower being mentioned". Many thanks, Rob.

Hi CA,
I made your ctm tonight and it was fantastic! I have to confess it is not a dish that I order although the children do & in their opinion it's up there with the best, "well done  ". I used the same spice mix as yourself although the base was CT's. I was amazed how as soon as I added the base to the mix how it just exploded into this bright red colour 

I will get one of the kids to download a photo!! Far to complicated for me ha ha  ;D

Hi chewy, I made your base a couple of weeks ago and it was fantastic I also froze enough to make 4 other dishes which I knocked up on Saturday which were Madras, bhuna, jalfrezi & rogan josh. When I work out how to download the pic's to this site I will inbox you, Rob.

Well done to all the lads who put time aside to produce these vid's etc. Looks as though it was money/time well spent  Count me in on the next one for sure

Wow, just cooked this RJ and what a dish. Packed with flavour! I will be cooking this one again for sure. It's a thumbs up from me  ;D

Cheers guys 

Can anyone advise on what dishes require red food colouring. Meant to buy orange & realised when I got home it was red! :

I must say this "FAQ" is very helpful. I found the article by Bruce Edwards very intresting indeed. Thanks again
