Hi all, joined Friday and been trying to find my way round the site.
Made the saffron base on sunday, smells great, but used the first recipe before it was amended. Any ideas on salvaging it? apart from adding another 1.5 kilo of onions.
Would leaving out the tumeric,corriander,and cumin from the second stage of curry work or do you need the fresh spices to get the authentic taste?
Thanks in advance

Hi dmac and welcome to cr0!  8)

I don't think it's likely to be a major disaster if you made the unamended recipe.  Several people did and they seemed to like the results they got (one or two didn't).  If anything, it should only be a little more spicy than the current version.

Why not just continue to use it, as is, and see how you get on?

Welcome to the forum dmac!

If you joined on Friday, I wouldn't fret too much about the base.  I made it from the version you did and had fantastic results.  Just keep going and tell us how you get on with your recipes--and be sure to take a photo or two! ;)

Happy currying,

ast

P.S.  The original version is the only one with minor problems, but "original" in this sense is from well before you would've seen it.  Yours should be just fine.
