Anyone tried the Pilsbury ones?  I was going to order some from Itadka if they are any good?

Madras / Re: Chicken Madras Video Recipe - for lunch.

Thanks for the recipe.  It was very nice indeed.  I had to make a couple of changes as I didn't have the listed ingredients. I used CA's base and I used regular chili powder instead of Kashmiri, and had to make my own ginger and garlic paste from fresh.  It did end up a tad gingery, but tasted very nice.  I also added a couple of chopped chilis to make up for the Kashmiri.  All in all a very nice dish.  My son rated as nearly the best he had eaten. (now ex uni student), which is a good first effort with the recipe.  I have to say it was different trying to follow a video while making it, but well done for the original post and video.  Thanks.  ;D

Thanks CA.  Just made this base and used it for a Madras and a Korma.  This was my first departure from the Secret Curry Base.  Both went doen very well with the family.  The good thing is that I have enough for another 4 meals  ;D Thanks

Sadly our local Asda don't stock the Shana paratha, or any other frozen brand.  I have always made my own and they are a pain to make.  I only have one recipe taken from an old indian recipe book by Khalid Aziz. 
350g Chapati Flour
1 tsp salt
170ml water
100g ghee
plus ghee for frying

The dough is rolled out very thin, coated in ghee and rolled up and the roll spun into a spiral, and then repeated.
This makes 6 and the book says 15 mins preperation.  But it takes me at least 30 mins

The result is good, but I am always open to improvements.  Any suggestions?

Getting slightly back to your excellent curry cooking day.  Do take pictures and give lots of feedback.  Too far for me as I'm in Cumbria, but your reports will no doubt be very informative.  Shame it was delayed by a week  :'(  But as they say, better late than not at all,  ;D

Always thought beer and curry go together.  I am now looking forward to some mouth watering idea I have seen on here.  Thanks

Lakeland used to do one that held about 8 spices in a round lock and lock container.  And were stackable.  Just looked on their website but can't find it now.  Maybe discontinued.  But worth a look if you can find them.  I have 2 which we use in our caravan as they are sealed.

Hi All,

I have enjoyed curries for years, but just found this forum.  I look forward to learning and eating some new curry recipes.  Looks like a great site.  Well done.
