Title: Curry base for large numbers
Post by: cheethama1 on March 31, 2016, 02:19 PM

Hi,  I have just discovered this site and am hoping some-one out there can advise me!
I use a tried and tested recipe for my base for 2 people.    I have made it for 6 people by multiplying the spice amounts by 3 and it was fine.
I now have to make a curry for 50 people.  Do I simply multiply by 25 or will that not work?
I will be very grateful for any suggestions.
Anne

Hi Anne, I think trying to scale up such a small recipe will be fraught with difficulty. Far better to start with a proven bulk recipe. Use the forum search feature with "bulk" in the search box and "search only in titles" ticked. This will show up a few, but all will rely on the use of a separate base, so refer to the base gravy section of the forum for those. Most will use around 3kg onions and make around 15 or 20 portions so you may have to scale up these, but at least you're working with multiples of 2 or 3 rather than 25.
