chicken madras
« on: August 28, 2014, 11:49 AM »
I have some different base gravies at the moment,two I've made and two are genuine base gravies from take-aways.I thought it would be interesting to make a standard madras with each of them and see how they compare in taste.

The base gravies were..

Little India base(I made this from CBM'S video)

Base gravy I got from a restaurant/takeaway(Essex base) on this thread...

Base gravy I recently made on my lesson(Jb's base gravy)

Base gravy I was given by the chef on my lesson.



Little India base...



Base gravy from given to me on my lesson...



Jb's base gravy...



Base gravy given to me from local Restaurant/Takeaway(Essex base)

I'm a bit curried out now(and the kitchen's in a right old mess!!)

I'm going to have a taste test later and see how they compare.They're all a bit diiferent(in a good way,just as every Restaurant madras is always different),the kitchen certainly has some wonderful smells going on!!

Oh dear.  It looks as if someone is jealous of all the praise and attention that your new base is getting, JB.  Never mind -- the rest of us like it, and are quite happy for you to post whatever photographs you can, whether or not they would meet the somewhat exacting standards of National Geographic and its ilk.  Keep them  coming !

Actually I like photos that are in focus as well and I even get annoyed at myself when mine are out of focus. Personally I wouldn't think jealousy over someones base would have nothing to do with giving someone some photo tips..  :-\

Looking forward to the taste test jb.

All of what's in them pics looks very edible to me.  I'd be salivating even more if they were i focus than i am now  ::)  More interested in your comments on the madras quartet though.  Look forward to your findings and conclusion jb.
