hi Chewy,
Just made this madras sauce with yer own base, with excellent results 
i used as high heat as possible for the initial frying of gng , tom paste and spices, (mucho spattering),
Didn't add any meat, just cooked the sauce out, (trying veggie recipies for the mrs)
Used about 500ml of base in all, must say this is a realy tasty madras sauce 

Hey folks,
i've been browsing this excellent forum for a couple of years, and have improved my amateur BIR curry skills no end thanks to yourselves 
Just wanted to say hello, and thanks for the great posts, pics and videos.
Not a prolific poster, but a confirmned curry head willing to contribute.
I thought I had my base /currys sorted, untill I saw the 'cooking lessons with Az' thread 
Thanks again for renewing my thirst for learning all things curry.
