Tried this last night. Doubled quantities including mix and chilli powder. Think you guys have it right about scaling recipes up in that other thread. Definitely could have got away with only half as much again for mix and chilli. Very tasty nonetheless... :yes:

I would suggest making it in the quantities I originally posted & try that, it will produce a smaller quantity but it will all be in balance. Doubling up is always a gamble.

Aye, will do just that thanks Pauly. I was also using CBM's base as there were still 2 portions in the freezer. 1 to go before cooking up a new batch. I 'll wait till then to try it again.

Cheers,

Farang :cool2:

I decided to make this one last night, and I thought it was fantastic! (My wife thought it was too spicy.)

I was wondering what to make the wife last night & I remembered this, haven't made it in ages. I added the wine after the mix powder had fried , rather than after the first ladle of base gravy as in the recipe, I think it cooked off better.

Pauly, I tried this tonight and all i can say is WOW WOW WOW. This definitely makes it into our top 5 BIR recipes! I was really dubious about adding the red wine as the smell whilst cooking with spices was really confusing, but the end result was amazing! I used my base gravy, basaar spice mix and doubled up for two people. I liked that it had heat which a lot of the sweeter creamier curries lack. Will definitely be trying again very soon!

Glad you enjoyed it tikkatom, it's certainly one of my wife's favourites. Yes, the red wine is different but produces a distinctive flavour.

Can't agree more Pauly. The red wine really sets the dish up.

Although I have made this before, as it is this month's Curry Club recipe and was so good the first time around then I am looking forward to having another go!

I feel ashamed to say that I assured pauly that I would give this a go ...... back on 4th June 2013 :D

Well I've done it now and wished I'd done it back then - wow !

I was unsure what to expect with the wine addition but it's lovely - one of mine and my wife's new favourites - the flavour is difficult for me to describe - sort of dry ( like wine ) , sweet and spicy and very slightly grainy from the almonds - great dish pauly - incredibly moreish :thumbup:

I used CA's original base , my mix powder and the rest exactly to spec except for using raw chicken added at the start .

Hi Pauly

I understand from your opening comment that this recipe is a smaller " Ladies Portion"
and having not tried it yet, I cannot make a direct comparison to the recipe that's in the Ebook
that I have tried and liked very much.

In fear of breaching anyone's copyright, and so Without divulging any of the ingredient amounts from the list of the Ebook,
I was just wondering if in fact it tasted or was substantially different in any way as the amounts are substantially different ?

what confuses me more, was the fact that the picture above posted by Cory is from the Ebook and therefore I was under the impression that it was made using the ingredients listed there, and not this "ladies Portion" / recipe . . . If that all makes sense ? :confused:

Yes, perfect sense leejones. The recipe in the e book was altered by the lads to bring it up to a standard size, I would imagine, so yes, the ingredients are different. I haven't made the e book recipe so I can't really say how different it would be, if I make it for my wife, then I use the original recipe.

I'm pleased you got round to making it Westy, & thanks for reporting back. The wine is unusual, I know, but it just works so well, if I could turn the clock back, then I would be off to Sarada's, a fantastic restaurant.

Just a reminder of this month's curry club recipe (which I have still to have another go at!). It's a winner (IMHO) so why not give this one a try?
