Thanks guy's.

Hmm Ramirez, I do like a good Jalfrezi!! Will look into it.

Glad you all appreciate my efforts.

Matt

Now for this to be a proper test I had to also make a curry.Needless to say the wife stuck her oar in again, so a Korma it was.

I stuck to CA's Korma recipe, as shown in the photos below.

My conclusion, is that both bases taste in my opinion identicle, but Cory Anders was faster to prepare(Although was less quantity, so may be about the same with same amount of ingredients)

They are both fantastic bases, but for my own tastes, I would add a touch(maybe 0.5 tsp) of chilli powder to it, as even a korma has a little chilli spice in it.

I feel a proper conclusion can only really be made with a 'proper' curry, that I hope to prepare in the not to distant future.(Suggestions maybe???!!)

Hope you enjoy my reading experiment as much as I enjoyed making it.Many Thanks to CA & CT for providing the recipes.More to follow!!

Madmatt.

p.s. Bet you are all loving the apron!!!!

And here are pictures of CT's(Chewytikkas) and CA's(CoryAnders) Base side by side.

You will see that CA's base is a much lighter colour.

Well Folks, as promised here is my side by side comparison of the 2 most highly acclaimed bases on CR0.
You can see the details of my making Chewy Tikkas 3 hr base on its own thread, and here is my making Cory Anders base.
I feel I should have thinned both down a tad(Before I get told!!)but both ended up the same consistency.

CA's Base.
1) The raw ingredients in the pot
2) CA's Spice Mix
3) After the simmer
4) After Blending

You may be right CT, but at the end of the day, it made a very tasty curry, just like a BIR one.

The more you thin it the less flavour you are left with?

Glad to hear it Stephen. Try and take/post pics!!

Hope it goes well

Hope it works out for you all!!

Just keep the gas/heat on max so its a real rolling boil for the 4 minutes, with a tightly fitting lid and you should be fine.

As you can see from the pics, I use a heavy ceramic pot, but a le cruset heavy steel or similar should be fine.

Also, Ray is correct about the rest for a few mins, although on occasion I have served it almost immediately, and its been fine.

All the best

MM

Hey Matt, the photos look good, (always nice to see some ghee) but I can't see any actual recipe?

: Blimey-Give me chance mate!! am writing it up and modifying now!!

Recipe is there now!!

Enjoy-

The finished rice(With Cory Anders Korma)

Not sure if its clear in the photos, but the rice is really nice and fluffy, not sticky in any way, with a great flavour.
I have used this many times with Dipurajas Mushroom rice, and IMO it takes it to another level!!Fantastic.
