Hi Jamie,

I haven't come across this particular base, but I have come across similar.  The first base that I used was the Kushi base.  It too uses whole spices but, you tie them in a muslin cloth to make a kind of tea bag, and simply pop it in the pan along with the rest of the ingredients.

If you are going to try this base, I would suggest that you give the tea bag idea a go.  it will make it much easier to fish out them whole spices when the base is finished.

Hiya Jamie,

Yes, I think the kush base is very very good but, you need to compliment it with the kushi spice.

It comes from the 'Authentic Balti Curry' cookbook, and for me, it's exactly that, Balti!

I have posted various Kushi dishes including the base and kushi spice, so if you go to say, pathia recipes, you will find the Kushi Pathia in there and there are links to the base and the kushi spice.

It is a bit more complicated than other bases but nothing too hard for any of us here

I would defo give it a go, I think you may enjoy it!

Ray :)

I might be wrong, but was the Jafflong not featured in some of CMB/Mick's Youtube videos?

May well be another Jafflong, but maybe Jamie (or Mick) you could clarify. I don't think I saw a Jafflong base online.

Hi josh

i think you could be right because the same site that had the jaflong did have cbm recipes on aswell, if you have a look in the video posts i have put up the links will take you there its worth a look.

Hi Jamie,

You need to be careful posting recipes from the "other forum" that may be copyrighted, or obtained without the OP's permission.

The Jafflong never revealed the contents of their spice mix and the dishes also call for other pre-made components such as their own recipe onion preparation.

hi guys
the recipes for the above restaurant and many more including videos can be see at

www.kitchenstreaming.com/

i have said this before but no 1 seems to care or say great as most feedback these days seems to be of the negative kind. most of the videos are from restaurant kitchens the jafflong posted by sean ryan and when cbm lived on the IOW he got friendly with his local and that is where it all started. the jafflong if any1 cares is in dartford kent. its all there on the above site, just registration no fees etc and you can watch to your hearts content

regards and this is the last time i will mention or post this address,
