Traditional style madras with no base gravy, definitely more flavoursome with more individual tastes and really packed a good chilli hit, but I think I still prefer a base gravy madras for a more rounded overall taste. That said I'll be making this one again for sure.

My personal feeling is that because a Madras curry is a pure BIR invention (there is no such thing in traditional Indian cuisine), the best way to replicate one is to follow BIR practice, which involves using a base. A bhuna, on the other hand, being a traditional dish, is far better made without a base, IMHO.

Any.way I've just done a triple qty of the traditional style Balti Chicken Madras mentioned above. Delicious and no base gravy anywhere to be seen. BIR is just a method. A short cut to the end result demanded by high turnover in a commercial setting. Curry is able to be created in more ways than one.

How odd

Perhaps not Phil. I recall this morning when I made my post I had the message that another post had been made and asking me to review my post. I usually ignore it but this morning it went a bit odd and I needed to refresh my Page. Perhaps you did try to quote me but the system has malfunctioned somehow.

we all know Madras is a region in India...
Was a region in India. Doesn't sound the same going to the takeaway and asking for a chicken Chennai though does it.
