Curry Videos / Re: Chewy's Chicken Tikka Masala - CTM
« on: December 16, 2013, 09:21 PM »
Carrots and orange slices in a CTM - I've never seen these ingredients before.

Everything from Chewy I have tried has been great - his Madras and Tikka are my usuals.

Chewy - is this a regional variation of CTM?

I will definitely give this a try.

Breads (Naan, Puri, Chapatti, Paratha, etc) / Re: CBM's Restaurant Naan Bread [without a tandoori oven]

Garp - I hear you on the biscuit/sconey reference.

I've tried probably dozens of "self-rising flour" based naan recipes. To me they all have the biscuit-ey characteristic.

The best naans by far have been the ones that forgo the self-rising flour in favour of yeast.

I know it may not be BIR, but these days its gotta be yeast for me.

Hi there - my path has pretty much followed yours. I'm in Toronto (High Park area).

You will get a ton of useful advice on bases and recipes. Personally I use a rotation of the Chewtikka base, Zaal base, and Little India.

If you are looking for a BIR style curry, the absolute closest I've found is a restaurant in Peterborough, Ontario called Shafiqs. In fact, I've found nothing in Metro Toronto that comes closer to BIR than Shafiqs. There are some excellent "authentic Indian" ones though.

If you're east of Toronto, make the trip to Shafiqs!

For getting some of the hard-to-find ingredients and spices, I use Bombay Bazaar in Markham.

Supplementary Recipes (Spice Mixes, Masalas, Pastes, Oils, Stocks, etc) / Re: Chewytikka's Red Masala Paste/Sauce

Thanks CH for the reminder link to this recipe.

Missing something here.

I've been waiting for CT to enlighten us on the Red Masala Paste and Sauce used in this recipe for CTM: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,12298.0.html

This link CH refreshed me on implies they are the same thing. The video for CTM does not (or at least adds it at separate times in the recipe).

CTM is the one dish I'm still striving for BIR quality.

CT can you throw us a bone?

Hey Jeff - welcome aboard.

I've been in Canada for over 10 years now, and I know exactly what you mean!

Where do you live, in case I can point you in the right direction.

Cheers,
Josh

Ok - it's time to make my base for tomorrow.

CT had the most votes, but I'm going to try the Little India to mix it up. Peeling onions now.

Thanks all!

Will report back with pics

Weird. Seeing as the CBM Little India received a number of votes, I checked out the video. Worked fine for me...

Thanks guys - and Aussie Mick, I know CT and CA's bases work great. I just thought I'd test the waters to see what other experienced members have currently landed on, as I do enjoy mixing it up and trying different approaches.

Curry Base Chat / Need a base recommendation
« on: February 20, 2013, 12:31 AM »
Hi All,

I've had to put my curry cooking on the back burner for a while, but I find myself hosting a dinner party on the weekend, and thought it was prime time to show off the BIR curry skills.

Recently I've been using Chewy's base, but I'm out.

I always like to experiment, so I thought I'd look at a few others. Appreciate experienced members votes on a base to try for the event.

Thanks all for your input! I will report back with pics.

Cheers,
Josh
