Re: Aussie Madras
Whats the difference between an Aussie and a BIR madras, Rusty?
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Re: Aussie Madras
Hi GB
All the Madras curries here seem to have a strong coconut flavour but very smooth consistency, in this dish I used coconut cream instead of desiccated coconut.

Re: Aussie Madras
Aussie Madrases generally have coconut milk (or cream), mustard seeds and curry leaves in them.

Re: Aussie Madras
They also tend to add desiccated coconut towards the end of cooking which thickens the sauce up

Re: Aussie Madras
Hi BI
I normally use desiccated coconut but the Madras I have purchased does not seem to contain any, so are you saying I should use coconut cream and desiccated?

Re: Aussie Madras
Hey mate,
Just going off what Raj told me. He said coconut milk with desiccated at the end to thicken the sauce up.

Re: Aussie Madras
Thanks Bi
Do you use coconut in your restaurant Madras as your madras recipe on here has no coconut

Re: Aussie Madras
No Rusty, we never used coconut, but Raj taught me how AIR would cook a Madras. Personally, I think the BIR Madras is far superior

Re: Aussie Madras
I would agree with you, my good wife often orders Madras do you think Raj would share his Aussie Madras recipe?

Re: Aussie Madras
I’ll ask next time I see him.
I know there is a good chef spoon of onion/tomato gravy (which is basically the Karahi recipe I put on here) along with stock and spices, coconut etc. I’ll it post up when I finding out more
