Back about 13 years ago my favourite curry to eat was the old CTM, but over the years I became addicted to more fiery dishes, with lamb tikka vindaloo becoming my main favourite. Then a couple of weeks back I saw SoberRat's mayday photos and his CTM set something off in my head. I'd tried many, many, times to make CTM all those years ago, but I'd always ended up with what tasted like tomato soup, it wasn't anywhere near a restaurant dish (by any stretch of the imagination). Anyway, after looking at a number of recipes on here, I went with CA's illustrated. I tweaked it to my taste, used more condensed milk rather than cream, and ditched the lemon, but other than that it was very similar. I have to say, it was just like my favourite CTM's from my favourite London restaurants, my wife and I couldn't get over it. I used the Zaal base and did the tikka on the BBQ. I finished it with a final 'lick' of the condensed milk. If only I could get this close with my BIR vindaloo. I've nailed the Portuguese vindy, but there's something missing from my BIR style. That said, we'll be eating lots more CTM from now on.

do you mean condensed milk or evaporated milk
Condensed milk is the really sweet stuff
Really nice, but I can see it having a big impact on the finished result

Hello Haldi, yes a small tin of sickly sweet condensed milk. I believe that this must have been what my old London local used, as it was almost a 100% copy (to my taste buds). It wasn't too sweet either, I thought it would be, but no, it was just really rich and luxurious. I'll post the exact recipe as I did tweak CA's quite a bit.
