Hi all

For those of you who dont know I am a massive lover of the take away English Chicken Tikka Masalla takeaway dish (as I am sure many of us are!).

Rhys is on to the case but as yet hasnt turned anything up which is why I am appealing to the Passionford contingent (definately appreciate your help so far buddy ).

I started off by asking my local Indian for the recipe to which they replied "thank you very much for the compliments" and seemed to think I wanted to set a rival company up.

I bought my girlfriend the Madjha Jaffrey (sp?) book for Christmas the year before last (which cost a fortune in postage and didnt turn anything up)

I have had so many during my time in England and tried to analyse the recipe but to no avail. It is not available over here as it is tailored to be less spicy for the UK market with more coconut and tomato.

Ranj - I know Rhys was going to ask you and not sure if he did.

Can someone please ask their local Indian for an exact recipe or can any Indian members please provide it. I dont want to set up a rival firm, it is delicious and I am dying here without my beer and tikka masalla!

Thanks in advance! Passionford is like the online Jim'l fix it. Come on Passionforders

google is real handy

 

it is handy if it returns what you are looking for

Unfortunately after 2 years of trialling different recipes I can say with 99% certainty, that isnt it.

Main thing that comes through with the taste is coconut.

Please help a desperate passionforder people

 

each restuarant probably has a different recipe.

u have PM

 

Did ask local but reluctant to give it away lol.

 

I have a GORGEOUS recipe for Bhuna, but not Massala Sorry!

One thing i do know, in my OZ experience indians over there are crap

Couldnt wait to get a proper one when i got home last year

 

love the stuff myself. great way to end a night after having a cupla (well 15-20) pints !!

but i am sure it has contributed to me having a 60" gut over the last decade ! lol !

 

Are you insecure? There isnt any topic you reply to without mentioning your size

 

nope ! sorry for being a bore !!

 

Thanks GrahamS1

They all seem to taste very similar in the UK but could be marginally different.

Yes Oz Indian Takeways are not good. Chicken tastes like old chicken that has come out the fridge and been thrown in the sauce and served

 

errr... thats how they do it over here.

 

noooooooooooooooo

I thought they were marinated over there from raw?

Here it is like they have a big chicken in the fridge and just go and break some breast off and chuck it in the sauce.

 

trying to make your home made indian taste like a take away one, is near impossible

 

not if you have the right stuff. (ghee, etc)

 

I can ask my mum.

But diff restaurants will put diff ingrdients in with regards to spices, etc

 

I Just ordered my take away, picking it up in 40mins

Though they dont really want to give me recipe Fookin awsome though

 

rhys - post some to OZ

 

Yeah, or tell u what could post a pic of it


Could send some in some tubba wear! and knowing the food will be ok
