Has anyone taken their base to a T/A for the chef to cook a dish for them to see how is turned out.

Yes, I did
They were quite impressed with my efforts
They cooked with it, but unfortunately they used their own reclaimed oil and precooked ingredients.
So although the curry tasted great, I couldn't tell what part my base played in it

But if it tasted as good as their usual curries haldi you can conclude that your base must be adequate for the job and so it must be the added extras (spiced oil for example) that are making the BIR difference.

yes, you are right
The oil they used was salvaged from the top of their gravy
I notice in Sam's cooking he adds a spiced oil near the end of cooking
This oil has a lot to do with getting a BIR result
