Topic: your favourite madras

[jimmy2x]

hello to all, at home babysitting today. So was scanning the site looking for a new base and recipe for a madras. Im not disapointed in my efforts so far, far from it and seldom do i make a bad curry now.However, maybe im missing out on a chance to make a truly great curry.


So im thinking what would all here consider the best base and recipe combo on this site that they personaly get the best results from and which till they find anything better they use.

Maybe from this we could find a consensus of which base/curry combination is universally preffered by the majority. what ever gets the best shout is gonna be the one im trying next.

have a nice bank holiday all  ( shame about the rain)

Hi Jimmy,

I haven't tried any other Madras recipes on here but I use CA's base and Madras recipe.  Very good indeed

I use the SnS Madras recipe with either the SnS / Saffron / Ashoka Base , I just need to adjust the amount of Spice to the Base  But I am about to make another batch of Base and this will be based on the Saffron but with some changes.

I Have had best results with CA's base and Madras, but I do add more lemon Juice (about 2 teaspoons) and during the garlic/ginger cooking stage I add about a large teaspoon of fresh ginger cut into 1" long thin matchsticks.

I actually haven't tried Stew's Madras or Base. I use his Jalfrezi recipe (with whatever base I have) and found it to be excellent.

I will put this one on my to-do list.

In the meantime, I use the Taz base/method with usually the BE or SnS Madras. Both are excellent.

I'd completely forgotten about the BE madras, Josh! Glad you reminded me...I'm going to have to do that one again as I remember it to have been very good indeed. I'll be using CA's base though.
