Do not use 275ml of the THICK paste (puree for the UK). You can use a couple of tablespoons of the thick paste (puree) and then add a little water to thin it out, or use just a thin tomato sauce. Using that much thick paste will make it dry and very, very acidic.

275ml of puree is ridiculous Gordon and i hope you update this recipe with the proper ingredients! I just made it with 140ml and it came out so overpowering it took my head off. all I can think is that he meant 275 of pureé’d tomatoes.

Made this dish last night and although it taste delicious, it was very strong and much drier than expected. The picture makes it look very saucey but not sure where the liquid comes from?

275 ml of tomato puree!! I had the same dilemma, didn’t seem to make any sense. How on earth is that going to turn into a sauce?

So I puree’d 4 medium tomatoes with a couple of tablespoons of tomato puree.

Did the trick!

I didn’t bother cooking the chicken on a rack in the oven, I just spread it out on an over tray, turned it after 10 minutes and brushed it with oil.

The only thing I’ll do differently next time is avoid the addition of lemon juice in the sauce. I think that because I didn’t use the oven rack, I poured the chicken with the already lemony marinade into the pan.

I just don’t see how Gordon’s butter chicken curry will become a sauce.

275 ml puree/paste + 1 tbsp lemon juice + 40g butter + 100 ml double cream

—–> How can that become a sauce? It’s just lemon-flavored tomato paste with lots of fat in it.

@clewis

I’m pretty sure tomato puree that Gordon has in mind is the tomato paste in the US. Gordon refers the thick tomasto paste as “tomato puree” on EVERY SINGLE TV show. On one occasion he even squeezes the tomato paste out from a toothpaste-like container and refers that as “tomato puree.”

Puree is simply blended whole tomatoes… NOT the pre-made paste or “sauce”; this confusion is a misunderstanding between England and United States terminologies for what the term puree actually means. Fenugreek is used as a garnish only, so it is optional.

Cookbook also says 275 ml purée and no fenugreek
