I have never seen any evidence of chopped coriander either 

SS please keep up the sarcasm. Without your acidic wit this site would be too tame!

Thanks for that Josh...there is more than a fair chance I got the spelling wrong - a case of the ever-so-inconsistant spelling by me! :-[

in the good old 80's my local ta's used to have a dish called Chicken Moogli. A mild tomato based curry sauce with a whole boiled egg in it. Perhaps it was a "regional brummie" dish. Havent seen it on a menu in yonks

Blades Chicken Tikka recipe with Ashoka Bhuna recipe floats my boat 

Hi bar
I love star anise!
I use it in Blades chicken tikka recipe.
I use 2 stars to pep up the flavour.
I grind them up in the mortar & pestle first.
Works for me!!
I haven't tried them in a base yet, but if they're good enough for JerryM then its definitely worth a try!

Just tried the Ashoka Tikka marinade last night and I was very pleased with the end result.Did tweak the recipe by reducing the G&G to 1 tbsp and I also added 2 tsp mint sauce concentrate. I left it to marinate for 24 hours. The end result was moist and tasty.The cooking method is spot on (for my crap oven anyway) The only thing I would do different next time is definitely leave out the salt!!!

Boy ...the Chef at the Ashoka certainly likes his salt!!!

My guess:


1 tsp each of coriander, cumin and curry powder stirred in for a few seconds.

I would adjust this to 1 tsp BE spice mix & 1 tsp chilli powder. because this base is very spicy anyway. Besides this I would think SS is spot on
