pete's madras
« on: May 28, 2010, 03:26 PM »
Here is the recipe for madras given to me by a bir chef.
This is to be used along side the base recipe i posted




meat of your choosing
1 chef spoon of oil
1 tsp of ginger and garlic paste
1 tbls tom puree
1 tbls of mix powder  http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4691.0
1 tsp of hot chilli powder
1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves
1 tsp of aromatic salt  http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4690.0
chopped coriander
2 chefs ladles of curry base

Add the oil then add ginger and garlic paste, tom puree, and spices folowed by meat of choosing. Fry for a few seconds then add salt fenagreek and base cook for a few mins then add coriander.

There really is no order to the way it is cooked as i was told just put it in a pan and cook it for a few mins till hot. So use what u no to cook it and happy eating ;D

Its one tablespoon of the combined paste. No don't mind u asking I'm from luton ( i here the boos and hisses already) yeah from what i have seen in my travels high heat does seem like a factor in allot of the cooking and once a chief told me ill have a job recreating these dishes at home on a normal cooker and i can in a way see why.

pete,

very best wishes to u - love u're posts

i'll certainly give the madras ago (going to have to be week after next though) - there are quite a few differences in what i've tried previously.

is the g/g paste still 50:50 like for the base. not used 1 tbsp before - probably 2 tsp is most i've used.

the aromatic salt is something i've not tried either.

i've just started to get to like methi - i tend to have to hard fry it though.

well spotted. It is supposed to be 1 tsp of ginger garlic paste i have edited the post to indicate this. never had a problem with methi its always been ok. and yes the paste is the same all the way through 50/50. Ill be giving this a whirl tomorrow so will post pics of the results :D
