Is there going to be another secret recipe test this month? And where is 976bar's report, I saw it, but can't find it again.

I believe that CA's recipes say 1-2 servings. I eat normal-sized portions and I find I get one good dinner-sized meal plus enough for a good snack the next day. Why not just freeze it, or keep it in the fridge 'til your a bit peckish?

Some more nice write-ups. I'm intrigued by the chicken/cheese mix, I've never seen or tasted this recipe before, but I do like the two together in a sandwich

What are you going to eat for breakfast?

I'm sorry but I disagree with Phil on this one. Whether certain animals give you their 'love unconditionally' is at best highly debatable. People who work with animals will also tell you the same about cows and especially pigs. Once you chose to eat meat you cannot pretend that the meat you eat is somehow different. You have a personal choice to not eat or eat as you wish.

My niece for example gets terribly upset if we talk about eating rabbit. I can understand the sentiments coming from a vegetarian but other wise it all sounds like some animals are 'cuter' than others.

I'm also curious about the difference when using plum tomatoes.

I believe that this is one of the critical areas in cooking a curry. All the curries I've made that haven't been up to scratch have when I've analysed the process, had either too much puree mixture or not liquid enough. This is using recipes that I know well.

l cook on induction and it could be that too much lowers the temperature too much. Not really enough evidence yet.

 Looking good. Another recipe I've been meaning to try as I can convince myself that I'm eating healthily.

Now I don't want to criticize CA's recipes, but he does have a sweet-tooth I'd add the sugar bit by bit to taste. I use a lot less sugar but then again I'm not a fan of the stuff.

I've never really understood this either. I started using CA's mix powder on its own and never bothered adding any 'curry' powder to recipes. His mix has some other trace spices.

I recently used it and tried adding TRS Mild Madras  curry powder and can honestly say I haven't noticed any great difference. Some curries I cook are great, some good and the odd one O.K as usual but it's difficult to say if the curry powder is improving the dish. A difficult on to get a 'control' on.

This is the TRS ingredient list:- "aromatic blend of spices (coriander, turmeric, chilli, mustard, cumin, pepper, fenugreek, garlic, salt and fennel)"

When I include my GM (Zaal) the only thing this adds is pepper I believe.

Probably didn't want to have to clean the blood off the walls.
