hi guys
as there is talk of more on the CTM  thought i should bump this up the ratings and maybe the korma paste, using a combo of the two pastes you should have a ctm paste. bearing i mind these are made up by the restaurants to save time and the use has been witnessed by pete at his CTM demo back in the older days. i know they work as i have made a good many CTM's for my mate a he loves them more than his locals.

i will also try to post my chicken tikka vindaloo, my wifes favourite, having made some chicken tikka for the guys at Mouchak our new local haunt and they said it was just like theirs when i told them the ingredients they were most impressed and most delicious ( my 2 daughters 6&9  and wife love this too)
anyway guys look around the older demos from the forums most of the answers are there!
regards gary :)

As I'm still on the hunt for the (my) perfect BIR CTM, I think a specific masala for CTM may in fact be a more common practice than I first thought.

I tried the Curry Barking Mad CTM recipe (Youtube: Curryholic1 CTM) and it uses a yogurt-and-Patak's based masala. While I had previously gone off the notion of yogurt in a CTM, I tried this and was very surprised by the results. I almost threw it out, when after adding the masala and base, it was so runny I thought "this can't be right". Then with a good 5 minutes hard boil reduction, turned out very very good.
