Hello.
Please can someone advise me which base is best to make an assortment of different curries? A sauce that suits most curries. Ideally need a good one. I know it sounds a daft question but I am not too experienced at curries, I have only used CA's base sauce before. It was good, I'm just interested in trying another one.
Thanks.
Johnny.

Taz's base is well recognised for good results and easy to make.

CA's base is very good as a mild base which can be adapted to any curry recipe. There are many more base recipes available here - I currently use the Zaal base myself. But without knowing what it is that you require from a base, it's virtually impossible to make any sensible recommendation.
What is is that you don't like about the CA base?

I don't think he mention that, I think he just wants to try a different base. I've tried Dips, base followed by 2 batches of CA's. Then i've just finished BB1's glasgow base and am going to have a go at Chewy's base next.

try Bruce Edward's base?

Thankyou all. Nothing wrong with CA's base, I just feel a bit boring by not using another base.

I know I'm biased but I've stuck with Taz base now for a couple of years - the technique is slightly different so it may help rejuvenate your interest?

Tried Taz, tried CA, went back to my first love of KD1. Still love it, never fails to please.

From this site, these have my seal of approval:
Darthphall
Saffron
Mouchak
Taz

I don't give my seal of approval to anything as i'm not sure how valued it is. But i will suggest certain options based on forum popularity and positive comments.
Forget the Darthphall base, there are now many better in terms of versatility - which is really the name of the game.
The Saffron was an early base introduced to the site. There are more modern bases on the site.
The Taz base requires a totally different cooking method to what is very common place in TA's and BIR's. However, this is heavily supplemented by recipes tailored to the base and method by Stephen Lindsey. If you feel tempted to use it, there is loads of supporting info available. This is vital and SL is always available to help and advise. It delivers superb results. This can be seen from many of SL's posts and subsequent forum member comments.
The Mouchak is underated. This base bares so many similarities to the practices of many TA's and BIR's.
You should look at Chewy Tikkas 3 hour base, the Zaal base, the Little India base etc. etc. The list is endless
The best advise i can give is read the section of the forum on bases. Read the reports from members. Decide for yourself before you move from your current base. All these bases will deliver excellent results in the right hands, just slightly different,.
Keep us posted on what you decide and why !!
