Just finished making my first attempt of the base, it smells great. I'll have to reduce the quantities next time, or buy a bigger pan though!

I didn't use whole spices and it seems ok, though despite thoroughly blending, you could still feel a little 'grit' on the bottom of the pan.

Can anyone suggest a decent Chicken Tikka Masala recipe to use with this base?

Naith

I haven't yet made CTM with this base but I intend to do so within the next 2 weeks. I'll post my results and let you know how I get on.

Thanks a lot. The problem is I've got all the ingredients in to make it on Monday! I may have a look round the site to see what there is...

Hi Naith

Mick (CBM) tikka masala goes well with this base.  I would give that a try as it is my current favourite having tried many recipes!

Am I right in thinking it's only available in the form of a video on the net? (can't seem to find it on here...)

Thanks for that  ;)

The only problem is I haven't any Mix Powder, Tikka Paste, Tandoori Paste, Mint Sauce  :(

I think it looks as if I'll have to try to find a recipe that I already have the ingredients for (although this looks great on the video - I'll have to try it when I finally get everything, although it's not easy when you don't live in the UK)
