Topic: Best BIR Madras recipe?

[LouP]

Hi guys,
I am currently making as we speak the Zaal basic gravy recipe and want to use it in a Madras tonight. Do you have any recipes please?

Thanks so much. I used one tonight that had a video to it by Mike Styme? I had to subsitute some ingredients as I had no Kashmiri powder and had run low on Tumeric but have ordered new supplies off the internet

Even with the substitites it was pretty freaking AWESOME!!!! Curry again as soon as the supplies arrive,
Thank you  ;D

Great to hear a success story from a new member. Well done

Glad to hear you were pleased with your results.  You probably picked one of the most popular recipes among many forum members here: Mick Stynes AKA Chewytikka.  Hardly any negative feedback on this recipe and kashmiri chilli powder is not essential for  a good madras

I have done another tonight (3rd one in 6 days lol) I made a fresh spice mix (Cory anders mix,missing out the cardomom as I have no powder and it's not my fave) and using Andy Rhodes madras recipe from 13.5 Chicken Madras (CRO, based on 976Bars madras) [9/10].
It was fab! Still a little thick but I think my base is not watery enough. It had the right heat (I could have hotter/ Hubby wanted milder) so a nice compromise and the naans were lovely and garlicy.

I stink!! No more curry till Saturday now as my daughter wonders why I smell only of garlic butter lol  :
