Hi Mamta

Im making your murg makhani tonight. It asks for Tandoori Masala which im going to make a jar of. The Masala recipe here:

http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=10563

says sweet paprika twice. Im taking it you use 4tsp instead of 1/4tsp when making it for a jar?

Also like you say you make it fresh every time, what quantities do you use? In the murg makhani for example.

Cheers

Hello Steve

1/4 tsp of paprika was a mistake, not that it would have made much difference.

Fresh masala fresh; It was not very clear, sorry. What I meant was that I don't generally use tandoori masala mixes, but add individual spices fresh each time I am making a tandoori marinade. It is easy to do this if you cook Indian food as often as I do. The amount I have given is for roughly 4 kg. meat or chicken. So, if you are cooking 500 gm, butter chicken, divide it by 8, roughly.

I have also updated the recipe, hadn't visited it for a while! So thank for drawing my attention to it. You know what I am going to ask, don't you; I don't have a picture on it, can you take a few, if you make it ;-)!

Good Morning Mamta!

I did cook it, it was great, and no I didnt take any pics as my camera is still broken. I didnt end up making the jars worth of tandoori masala I just referred back to some old recipes and used that for the spices. It was very good.

Cheers

Steve
