Curry Base Chat / Re: Who believes there is a secret ingredient to the curry base?
« on: October 22, 2007, 09:03 PM »
lo Corry,

            By cooking process ,I think its the right amount of spices added at the right stage  and cooked for the correct length of time ,
  I believe certain BIR's will get a distinct taste by using different oils ie mustard oil or ghee and adding extra bits and pieces, butI reckon if the main part of the dish is done right using Garlic Ginger and the main 5 spices ,Coriander,Cumin,Turmeric, chilli powder and maybe Paprika.
  I also think the addition of the tomato element is important ,i have tried puree,passata ,ketchup and combinations of all 3 but still cannot get it quite right but sometimes close

i don't think there is a secret ingredient .I have Several BIR takeaways near me one is excellent one is pretty good and the others are poor.

   Then again I could say the same about fish & chip shops ,pizza takeaways etc
I think its the cooking process ,Minimal spices and not too complicated preparation
Its all about making money so these chaps will want to do it as easily as possible ?

Stew,

You mention spooning off the oil before blending and then adding it back , forgive me if its a daft question but is there a reason for this?

I made it also but mine was a bit too salty and garlicky and the cardammom stood out a bit too much, maybe I was a bit hevy handed with the ingredients
 I will try again and lower the quantities

Nice one tho ,thanks for the recipe
