Hi Alan,

I can't ever remember using a recipe from here (I haven't tried every single one yet though) where the tomato puree hasn't been diluted.

Having a go at a recipe recently prompted here Eastern Tandoori Chicken Patala again using diluted.

The only exception is a Keema curry I make frequently that I found and wrote down years ago where the tomato puree is added after the onions and fried until the oil separates from it, at which point the meat and spices are added.

Regards,
BAJ

Yes, I use the tube stuff, Alan, but usually far less than recommended (I don't like the taste of tomato in curries) and always diluted at least 2:1

I hadn't looked at very many recipes here yet but I did check out a few random ones just now. In my recipes I always give the amount of undiluted tomato puree (paste for me) and suggest the reader dilute that with enough water to get to the consistency of passata rather than specify x tbsp of diluted. Specifying an amount of diluted puree seems prone to error to me.

That said I like tomato so I usually sit around 1/2-1 tbsp of puree so likely too much for your tastes.

I thought i knew most things about toms, tomato powder....never heard of it, be interesting to hear what others think of it.

I remember working near Heathrow where there was a sewerage treatment installation, the ground was full of tomato plants, proof seeds go straight through, respect to their resiliance lol.
