I love this recipe now, such an intense and interesting flavour and provided you cook the spices out properly at the start (with 1 chef spoon on base at a time to keep things in that happy "frying, not boiling and not burning" window), then there's a multi-layered gorgeous flavour which develops.

Tonight I made this as a sauce-only curry and served up alongside tandoori marinaded lamb chops and it was such a great combo. Good work CH

Looking forward to trying this tonight  ;D

Only have the tamarind concentrate so as advised I'll use 1/4 tsp.

Worked out a treat, although used CBM's tamarind paste.

Well pleased with result.

Tks CH.

As discussed, i'm glad that the CBM tamarind sauce worked for you and that you enjoyed the dish.  I think that it could easily substitute Tamarina or Imli sauce as a condiment.  Definitely more preferable than adding just tamarind concentrate.  Shame you haven't any pics to post of your dish  :(

Used 1 x rd tsp of CBM's Tamarind Paste and 3 tsp of chilli powder.  Also used CBM's Mix and base gravy.  Onions and peppers were pre-cooked by scorching them on high heat in oil for a couple of minutes, as per CA's method.  May not be copyright but i seen it in his new Jalfrezi recipe  ;D



Served with my goto CA's Pilau Rice:-



Outstanding curry, perhaps my favourite thus far.

Curryhell,

Link to this appreciated. Will need to get base made. Will use TRS tamarind (concentrate)

Best wishes

my kind of curry this.

wow. rare for me to find a recipe that needs no improvement. loved it.

i'm not sure on the garlic slither / puree order. in adding the puree 1st i could not get the slithers browned. this gave a very nice roasted garlic slither taste which is very different to the scorched garlic slither taste. which works best in this dish is something i'll enjoy working out.

for info i used 0.5 tsp mix and 1 tsp tandoori powder as this is my norm and works for me. used a tip of eating tea spoon of the TRS tamarind and will try going up a little on next go. i also used tikka and think plain chicken will go much better.

many thanks curryhell for a real find. i like it better than the SIG south indian garlic.
