Great looking curry, especially the flocked effect of the sauce.

That looks real good Tabs,

Just like i remember from the early 90's madras we had delivered from our favoured takeaway, texture looks great. I have just had a roast chicken dinner but frankly if that dish pictured was placed in front of me right now I would not hesitate to scoff the lot.

:yahoo: First to post and winner of the £5 curry club voucher .

Here is Madame Westy's replication of 'Simple Chicken Madras' by CA .... all cooked exactly to spec using specified mix powder and specified base .
As the photo shows - it's a good looking Madras , with good colour and a nice touch of mottling . Sauce consistency was just right for me but I appreciate that's subjective .
The aromas as the dish was cooking were very typical BIR .
I must admit to being pleasantly surprised at the taste of the finished dish - without trying this I wouldn't have thought it possible to pack in so much good flavour and nice balance with so few ingredients . Heat level just right for a Madras too .
10/10 and I would recommend anyone to give this a go. Madame Westy said this was a cinch to cook too ! :D

I think I may have to consult the Curry Club rule book about bringing a 'ringer' in, Westy :laugh:

Cooked this tonight with CA's mix and rshome123's base. I confess I did not tell the other half that it was a Madras (which probably would have resulted in turned up nose) :whistle: . Both portions completely demolished, and P said it was "Excellent".

Chicken moist and succulent, taste and consistency just as I remember.

A beautiful example CA, nice gentle breakout of sweat on the forehead during and after.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Hi all,

Finally got round to making this again, after doing it 2 weeks ago and only remembering I had to take a pic when the plates were clean :)

Enjoyed it very much, used my own base but everything else is as the recipe and as you would expect from a "simple" Madras it took little effort to cook.

I'll have a go at this too this week, using the simple base gravy and mix powder. The photos look tempting.

Made this today using the simple base gravy, 3 portions in total, all cooked individually, good practice on my technique, which was a bit rusty. A very respectable Madras with nice flavours :thumbup:
