Now made this curry as well, following it to the letter and I didn't get the same results as Salamander unfortunately!  Not BIR taste.

My daughter has eaten Darths curry and likes it, she will only ever eat BIR, and a chicken tikka recipe I posted on here! 

Here is the link, https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1823.0

It maybe simple but it is an effective curry and genuine BIR style.

Oh and by the way, the ingredients I altered were the tomato's.  Instead of using a tin of tomato's, I made some frito using 500ml of pasata and some garlic and reduced it by half.  It then came out with a very strong tomato flavour, so I know where to adjust next time.  I also reduced the amount of cumin as I thought 3 teaspoons was a little excessive in comparason to the small amount of final curry sauce.

Salamander, I made your Madras the other day but had a bit of a disaster due to me altering some of the ingredients!   That said, I belive this is the closest yet I have got to a BIR curry.  Thank you for your post.

Darth Madras is now simmering on my stove.  It tastes nice and smells nice but it lacks the BIR taste and smell.

I am making Darth Madras tomorrow, 1st June 2007, I made the base a couple of weeks back and followed it to the letter.  I will follow the rest of the recipe also to the letter and post the results!

Lorrydoo.

This looks pretty good, has anyone tried it yet?

LOL dominatrix, ther was a Chinise buffet closed down around here for the same reason.

Oh, and before I forget, I thought sooner or larer this issue would come up. (no pun intended)

This would explain why staff in BIR wont let the curries pass there lips ever?
