Hi SL,

Thanks for trying it and reporting back with your photo  8)

Would I be correct in assuming that you used Taz's base (with BE's spice mix) for yours?

Which tandoori masala did you use?

Haha you know me too well CA, yes I used that base and spice mix.  As regards Tandoori Masala I have stuck with the Pat Chapman recipe which I recall you have used as well?

Correct.  And very hard to beat, in my opinion  :)

Judging by the different colours, it appears that I am probably using a higher percentage of red food colouring (in the tandoori masala) than you.

Made this tonight for the Mrs & daughter & worked out really good for a surprisingly lightly spiced dish.

Hi CA,

I'm going to make this later, just have one question, it looks very orangey which I like, and I know that the tandoori masala you use have both red and yellow food colouring in, but did you use any orange food colouring in the final dish please?  :)
