Actually all the measurments where chefs spoons!

Do they just use this method for the Madras only, I take it you've had this Madras, is it good. Even though it sounds straight forward to make it seems like quite a long cooking time for a restaurant. Do you have the base recipe that was written down.

They dont do this in the resturant.The point he said was you can make a curry without a base.

Ok thanks, that makes total sense and was thinking about that, I will try this when I fancy making a quick curry with no base to hand.

They also should me their way of making the madras with no base!

Do you know if this is what anyone who orders a Madras there will get? Or was it a 'special' recipe, not normally served to customers?

Basically the chef said without using the base it tastes 100% better than with base because its (fresh)!I can only repeat what he said!I,m cooking the base as we speak.But like he said they have to cook to our tastes,(BIR).

1/3 of a chefs spoon puree

Hi KC,

Great work getting into the kitchen there! Is this tomato puree - I plan to try this very soon as it sounds like it could well be like a curry I get from a take away in Kinross - oddly enough it does take them quite a while to make and they don't sell many curries, so this method could be ideal for them.

Can you send me the spice mix please, so that I can get this recipe 100 percent correct!

One thing the chef said which is exactly what is happenning right now with the base is ,simmer, simmer, simmer,my base 45Min's boiling,2hrs still simmering gone from yellow when liquidised and getting darker with a thin and i repeat thin layer of oil

The puree was mixed with a little water,i mentioned the puree,he said as long as its of double concentrate it will be ok.He mentioned napoli?because the tin and make they use come in to large tins.
