Vindaloo / Re: CA's Chicken Vindaloo

Hi CA,

Just to re-iterate - all your recipes I've tried so far have been really excellent - even with the Taz base. 

I had spotted your mix had no chilli in - but was missing a couple of the ingredients (ginger powder for one) so stuck with a modified Taz one.

Will deffo do you the courtesy of following your recipes to the letter and let you know the difference.

Quotethat must be the worst ever allergy to have, very sorry to hear your wife suffers from this terrible affliction.

Too true Jimmy - she won't eat peppers or chilli - though strangely paprika has no effect.  Could be worse - my last gf was a veggie  ;D

Hi Ramirez,

I followed the recipe - I did use reclaimed oil from the taz base the only difference was I had a mixed ginger/garlic puree and added sugar to taste - which for me was 2 tbsp rather than 3.

Are you trying to get me in more trouble with Cory Ander???  ;)

I am using a variation of Taz mix powder with no chilli powder in as other half is allergic to it.

Made this up a couple of nights ago for a vindaloo loving friend - while waiting for him to pick it up a few curry loving locals in the pub had a taste - and it received rave reviews from all.

The vindaloo is lovely - I used a few fresh green chillis and the combo of spicing/sugar and vinegar is superb, and very moreish. Am working through your recipes with the Taz base and they have all been spot on!

I recommend Stephens chicken chasni as a lovely korma/CTM alternative Razor. Made it for chilli-dodging missus with no chilli in it and she was very taken with it.

Certainly does. Have been working through a Taz base for a while and every curry I have made (including your pathia) have been excellent.

Just had this for tea minus peppers and chilli - due to other half's allergies.

Was very nice. The mango was initial taste followed by creamy spiciness - can still taste it an hour later. Very moreish! Never had one in restaurant, or even heard of it before now, but recommend it as lovely alternative to CTM or korma.

The other half loved it and it might even be her new fave! Pictures may follow.

Curry Base Chat / Re: oil

With the Taz base I didn't get much oil after blending and simmering.  So I got fed up and turned the heat off - then the oil separated. Didn't get a huge amount but it was nice to cook with.
