Naga, I love the exact metric measures. Well done that man.

Now, what's the difference between tomato paste and tomato puree? They mean the same to me.

Aye, I had a bit of difficulty with that myself and I was just about to update my post as you asked the question. I used double concentrated tomato pur

When butter chicken is done like that it is addictive. Before we had kids we would go to Indian once a week just so I could have the butter chicken.

I fixed a phone in the kitchen for the owner once and they had a big pot of that prepared for the nights meals and it smelled beautiful. Unfortunately they just don't make it as good anymore.

I was sure this restaurant used cinnamon as well? It was the cinnamon and cardamon that really made it.

Glad you enjoyed it naga and thanks for trying  8)

Just to clarify:

in OZ, tomato paste is the same as tomato puree in UK. Thick concentrated paste

Tomato puree is like paste watered down 3 parts to one with water. Passatta will do the same job, or you could water down tomato puree.

Pictures look great naga. Good on you for giving it a go. :)

Naga that looks great. On the list. Not sure about the rice though. Looks a bit oily but probs the light in the photo.

...Not sure about the rice...Looks a bit oily...

No, RD, you're bang on about the oil. If you compare Mick's photo with mine, there's a world of difference. I used a splash too much oil for the tarka and I thought, "What the Hell!" and just fired it all into the rice. So it DOES appear a bit oily in comparision, but to be fair, it tasted delicious and not oily at all. :)

Oh, and if anyone makes this dish, I would seriously advise using a splashguard for the uncovered cooking phase. My cooker looked like it had been a prop straight out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre! :D

LOL. It does gloop and splatter a tad eh?

I did say, put the lid on, especially for the last 15 minutes. 8)

Now I'm even more confused :/

In your (corrected) recipe you state both of these:
- 1x3kg tin tomato paste (catering size like you buy in cash and carry)
- 1x3kg tin tomato puree

So basically, I need two big cans of tomato paste but one of them additionally needs to get dilluted with water ?

Maybe I'm a bit daft but I could really need some clarification, hehe. Also, if I can use either - Do you still require me to dillute it or is the water already in the recipe ? If it needs to be pre-diluted then please state so in the recipe.

OK

In Australia, tomato paste is the same as UK tomato puree.

In Australia, we can also buy a product called tomato puree, wich does not exist in UK (or didn't when I lived there.) It is a diluted form, much like the consistebcy of passata.

It's ok mate I still get confused, I often send the kids round to the shops to get a tin of "tomato puree", and guess what, they get the thin watery shite stuff, when I wanted the thick concentrated steuff....lol

I hope that makes sense coz i'm confused now.
