Re: Simple Chicken Madras
Great looking curry, especially the flocked effect of the sauce.

Re: Simple Chicken Madras
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.

Re: Month 6 Simple Chicken Madras by CA
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 !

A curry can never be ‘too garlicky’ or ‘too hot’ .....

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

Re: Simple Chicken Madras
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) . 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.
Re: Month 6 Simple Chicken Madras by CA
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.

Re: Month 6 Simple Chicken Madras by CA
I'll have a go at this too this week, using the simple base gravy and mix powder. The photos look tempting.

Re: Simple Chicken Madras
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
