Dnk Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Anyone making their own ? I made my first yesterday, a Madras and its not come out too bad, i made enough for possibly ten portions as my neighbors all said they wanted some so in at the deep end lol I had a search through recipes online but there's so many variations Mine i'd like with a bit more sourness in it but not sure how i achieve that yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Figured out the sourness and i'll be adding Tamarind sauce/paste or lime pickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I have done from the ground up curry, i love the prep work but i get fed up with the waste. So unless its a special occation i will use a base sause and then pervert the hell out of it. Nice colour to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_supra Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I've made a few curries using recipes off the Latifs Inspired Youtube channel, and they have come out really well. It's all restaurant/ takeaway cooking so is all relatively quick to do, though needs some pre-prep like having a ''base gravy'' that restaurants/ takeaways use for all curries. I make it and freeze in in portions ready for cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make it and freeze in in portions ready for cooking. I'm getting a lesson from the chef in my local restaurant, i'm good friends with the owner who is also and excellent chef and thinks it will be interesting to see what i can create, we had a chat last night while i was collecting my takeaway, the madras he does for me is sublime along with just about everything else i have there. Mine if i'm being honest is nothing like his but on a plus side my neighbors thought it was very nice Edited June 4, 2020 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'm the same, mine aren't exactly like the ones i get from takeaway, but people seem to like them! From what i've seen on the youtube channel even things like the tomato puree, garlic and ginger paste that restaurants use have lots more ingredients added into them which will add to the flavour. i'm going to be making batches of those at some point to see if it takes mine up a level.

Dnk Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 First book i've bought in a long time and will attempt a few dishes in the near future I got a takeout the other night and had another good chat with the owner and he's giving me some inside info on what they do to make my Madras so delicious He bought this out while i was sipping my Cobra waiting for my takeaway First dish in the book i'm going to try is the mussels dish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
