Got it completely wrong sorry guys..i had only been working there a few days and tried to scale down a 25k version down to 7k..9 months down the line and a bit more experience with working in the takeaway this is now the end result..This version is now a big success and taste exactly like the takeaway 25k version.. I never actually made the 7k myself..I wasnt far away with my method..oil was the main issue..my chef has a ten gallon drum and just poured it in .. My guess was way out...I got it wrong, that's all ..we all make mistakes

3.5 killo onions chopped
1/2 litre vegetable oil
2.7litr's water
one side of green pepper chopped
50grams coconut cream
3 green chilli peppers chopped
2 medium tomatoes diced
1 handful fresh coriander
6 garlic cloves chopped
1 inch piece ginger chopped..or 1 table spoon garlic and ginger paste
1 table spoon salt
1 table spoon sugar
1 table spoon of garam masala
3 table spoons turmeric
1 table spoon cumin seeds
1 table spoon tomato puree
1 table spoon fenugreek leaves ( methi )

all measure are heaped

step 1..place onions in pot add cumin seeds and coriander and add water
cook for about 2 hours untill soft..time may vary

step 2..add the rest of your ingredients and cook for another hour

step2...the sauce is now ready to blend.after blending cook for a further 2 hours on a low heat
untill the sauce sweetens..keep tasting as you go along...when you get that sweet taste then it's ready

Made this yesterday. Looks and smells really good. I guess it will be ok to freeze this base?

I am on my third batch of this base now, even with the initial measure cock up at the start, it still tasted great, one of the best I have tried.

Looking forward to a good Madras tonight!

Well all i did was follow your clear and concise instructions!!

Its a bit like getting a prescription from the doctors and it saying "take 2 every hour" and you only take 1. Well you will never get better will you?  ;D

We have just finished eating our Madras and have to say, it's one of the closest to my local BIR yet!!

Well done sns and thanks for all your great efforts ;D

For info, I used the oil skimmed off the top of the sauce in the curry itself, I may keep the remaining oil for the next Madras  ;)

has anyone spooned out the oil or do I just leave it in?
SLIPPERZ  ;D

You spoon it out and use it to make the finished curry with. I'm intrigued as to how you got it to separate though. There's no way if you keep to the suggested cooking times that you could get the oil to separate from the base.

I followed everything exactly and the oil just rose to the top of the sauce!!

I am a little confused as sns did not mention skimming off oil and using it for the curry itself?

I have just made the base and the sauce and oil have separated, has anyone spooned out the oil or do I just leave it in?

Smells great in the house at the moment  :D

Need a quick reply as spices and chicken at the ready!!!!! :o

SLIPPERZ  ;D

BTW sns do you recommend Saffron in Lincoln? As we are there in Feb for a couple of days and could do with a good curry while we are there ;)

Guys,

Just getting this right in my head please :-\

Am I correct in saying that you use all the the 3 bags of sauce and 1/2 litre of chicken water which in turn will produce roughly 8-9 curries in one large pot, you then freeze these individual curries chicken and all?

So all you need to do next time is defrost that portion and cook your rice?  :P

TIA
