Chicken Tikka Masala colour chart

[Dave]

What is the correct colour for a Chicken Tikka Masala dish? Justin had
a chart, but I wasn't clear as to what the result should be.

but is it the right colour?

I reckon 'Volcanic Splash 2'. Any other offers?

I think a natural orange/beige colour would be my choice. From a
health and safety perspective, I am concerned about some commentary
about the potential dangers of the red colourings added to some Tikka
Masala.

<<LONDON (Reuters) October 2008 - One of the country's favourite foods
could be slowly poisoning diners who love its distinctive red hue and
spicy, creamy taste.

An investigation on Tuesday found 57 percent of Chicken Tikka Masala
dishes tested in Surrey had illegal and potentially harmful levels of
chemicals used to give the curry its trademark colour.


"A lot of people prefer bright red food and restaurants react to
that," Yvonne Rees, Surrey's Assistant County Trading Standards
Officer told Reuters.


"When people are offered curries they often pick the one with the
brightest colour."


Rees said the chemicals that give the dish its colour are known to
cause health problems like hyperactivity in children, allergies and
asthma if consumed in excessive quantities. >>

Comment from Richard B. I am concerned that if the colour alone can
cause hyperactivity, then the combo of sauce, Cobra and the
waistcoats could cause some form of psychedelic psychotic break
down.
