thanks for all those replies..think you may have this spot on chewy, the places I know of serving masaledar are punjabi, I had no idea of the difference until now. My favourite bir, apparently one of Scotlands originals, is actually Pakistani & spice blends etc are punjabi. I'm not sure if they advertise masaledar on their menu but it is definitely added to certain dishes. As for background tastes, I find the that taste will be evident in the smell as you walk through the door, particularly in restaurant chains, eg Ashoka to name but a few, which has a predominately garlic/ginger flavour, which I like but can be overwhelming. I found a masaledar here
http://punjabirecipes.net/dinner.php?recipe_id=27 which looks super sour.If I can see after tasting, Ill report back on this if of any interest to anybody

regards
ELW

Hi ELW
I would be interesting to know how you get on with this, as I have never
cooked bitter gourd before.

Here's my Jal Mix aka Red Masala Mix

4 tbsp Yoghurt
1 tsp each of three Pataks Pastes
Tandoori, Tikka and Kashmiri
1 tsp Mixed Powder
1 tsp G&G paste
1 tbsp Mustard Oil
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 tsp Red food colour (Natural Cochineal)

I add this in a few of my curry recipes, giving that familiar restaurant tangy flavour.

Hi Chewy what do you actually do to the above recipe, do you just mix all the ingredients together or is it cooked/fried?
Thanks.

hi unclefrank, i make this as a cold mix, to be added early, way before the gravy. I think it's design allows it to be used right across the savoury /sweet board, rather than a tikka masala paste..hope I've got that right...it works a treat

Hi UF
Just whisk it up, like a marinade and keep it in the fridge
It'll last a couple of weeks
A must for restaurant Jhal Frezi, Shaslik, CTM etc... ;)

So, this is what Julian refers to as his 'magic sauce' then?

I actually tried this in a Jal Frezi (using Chewy's base) with a tsp of chilli pickle.  Very enjoyable and defo BIR in taste.

I reckon jhal mix is it's real name  ;D. KD mentioned adding some tandoori marinade to a curry, haven't tried it yet, but c2g's looks like it could be very tangy  :-\

On a finger dip, yeah it is a bit tangy (not as tangy as the Dipuraja marinade though) but just 1 tsp to the curry adds a really nice flavour and not at all tangy.
