If you hadn't posted your vid, one of the CR0 video hounds would have.
All the vids C2Gone did, I don't remember him actually posting "one" on CR0. :-\ ;D ;D

Anyhoo, well done , much better video and onion chopping skills, you'll be using a tomato knife next.

Looking more like a Sassenach Garabi now, with a very familiar recipe and long home cooking times, closer to Bangladeshi than Pakistani BIR.
You need a pressure cooker to speed things up or a maybe just a bigger pot.

Swapping out just cumin seeds for a full bouquet garni, I've made this base many times over the years
just blended much more, sieved and diluted with water.

Well worth a try peeps, I'd give this one a thumbs up ;) and never call Glasgow Takeaways again ;D ;D ;D

Post by: gazman1976 on March 24, 2013, 12:28 AM: Have u cooked a base overnight to extract the sweetness of the onions? I doubt any of us has, I will experiment and try it
Title: Re: Glasgow base sauce video
Post by: chewytikka on March 24, 2013, 01:59 AM: Ahh, just remembered this, I made a couple of base's in a slow cooker once, which is tucked out the back in the utility room.
The first one turned out OK cooked on high.
But the second went like this.... Did the prep and switched it on medium at 8pm, shut the door and left it to do it's thing,
Of course I forgot about it ::) and in the morning, to shouts of what the hell's that smell,
I came down the stairs to the most pungent, acrid pong, that you can't really describe in words.
Nothing was burnt, the onions were just very dark and stewed.

So the recipe for this is slow cook on medium for 13 hours. Have Fun with it. ;D ;D

Curry on...ChewyTikka

hopefully the witch hunt is over..when i first came to this site i had only been working in my local takeaway for about 2 weeks and i thought i had a rough idea how to make the sauce but i was way of track...it's took me about 5 months of researching and working in the shop to get it right..scaling down was the difficult bit.....the new improved recipe has only 3.5 killo of onions and 1/2 litre of oil....can't scale it down anymore than this....the final result is concentrate base sauce..watch my videos you will see what i mean.............Hopefully i'm no longer the bad guy on here, it was never my intention
Title: Re: Glasgow base sauce video
Post by: gazman1976 on March 25, 2013, 02:17 PM: @ bigboaby1, i made this base to exact spec with 3.5 kilo of onions, tasted very similar to most bases i have made, made a simple madras with your recipe also - have to say i am well impressed - my search is over - thank you very much

Post by: DalPuri on March 25, 2013, 02:34 PM: Maybe if you had been upfront from day 1 and said you've only been in the TA for 2 weeks and the recipe was a work in progress, rather than saying you've been there for 6 months and the 7kg recipe was the definitive curry base, things might not have escalated the way they did?

Anyway, You've got baws, so welcome back. ;)
Title: Re: Glasgow base sauce video
Post by: StoneCut on March 25, 2013, 02:40 PM: I, for one, think we can't have enough recipes on here. ESPECIALLY for base sauces.

So, I'm thankful you did come back to post your revised version here (and with video even) and not only on that other (pay-walled) website.

The arguing around here is hopefully over soon as the spring sun rays brighten everone's mind :)

Post by: Whandsy on March 25, 2013, 03:20 PM: Thanks for posting bb1, I've got this base on the go now as I've just run out of current (Zaal) base. Smells very good so far

Post by: StoneCut on March 25, 2013, 03:44 PM: There's one bit in the video that is not quite clear:
You write "1.4 block creamed coconut" -> do you mean a 4" piece of creamed coconut of about 1cm width/thickness ? It sure looks more like it from the video.

Title: Re: Glasgow base sauce video

Post by: commis on March 25, 2013, 07:42 PM: Hi
Sorry for sounding dense. As I can't get this to play could someone qualify the end volume. Is it 4.5lt as G1976 achieves ?
Regards

15 sounds more reasonable than originally quoted. ;)

I think you'll find that the latter part of the "quote" is not a quote at all but a reply.

Post by: mr.mojorisin on March 26, 2013, 08:40 PM: after portioning up the next day when base had eventually cooled...(was still warm at 5.30AM after turning off heat at approx 11PM)

I ended up with TEN 300ml portions of base.

tis all my humble old pot would hold to be honest :(
