That looks stunning, Stephen. I may have mentioned that I'm a big fan of the Taz base, so I'll be giving this a go the next time I knock up a batch. Thanks for posting!

Great work SL.  There's too much curry porn going on here at the moment  :o . Another fine looking dish made with the Taz base and method ;D

cheers SD and CH - again I've cooked this dish many times and it is such a lovely curry - hot and fiery but with lots of other flavours coming through, particularly the coconut. When you walk into the kitchen you get a "hit" - it is like entering the door of a takeaway. I thought I had posted this ages ago but realising I hadn't, and well I couldn't resist.

Think I will give this a go. Be interesting to see what happens when the g&g and tom paste is not fried off in oil and same for the powdered spices. Seems like pretty standard ceylon ingredients but added to a warm base to start. Won't knock it until I have tried it  ;)

Looks excellent, Stephen! I've only tried Abdul Mohed and CA's Ceylon and I haven't got around to trying the Taz base at all. Something I must rectify.

I've just done this curry and I can say it was by far the nicest curry I've done.

Here's what I've done slightly differently:

For the tomato I blended a tin (240g) of plum tomatoes with a tsp of tandoori massala. Instead of BE spice mix, I used c2g mix powder (without bassar) and instead of 2 tsp of chili, I used 1 tsp of kashmiri chili powder and a pinch hot chili powder. A bit more than a tbsp of coconut. Instead of sugar, I used demerara and a tiny bit of lemon extra at the end. Half-way thru the cooking add half-onion cooked into the mix.

It was fantastic, though my mouth is still burning :-)
Thanks for the recipe.

I've just done this curry and I

have lost the ability to type ?!

Good spot. I was typing and accidentally shifted focus to the "post" button, so I ended up submitting prematurely. Check back for full post ;-)
