Heres another one I made this time im using the trusty gravy but with added cashew nuts, carrots and potatoes

A differnet taste from the standard, sweeter and darker in colour, very nice though?

The above Vindaloo looks really good.
Are you as pleased with your home results as you are with ones you buy, now?
It looks brilliant, I can almost smell the aroma.

I spent most of the day cooking and ended up with two base sauces
They take so long to do
The first sauce was Muttleys with the slight changes I mentioned above.
The second? was a very similar sauce but I had fried some finely chopped garlic until brown then mixed it in
I placed these along the curry base I bought last night and got one of my kids to do a blind taste on them.
He preferred Muttleys.
He acknowledged the takeaway base having a flavour that he couldn't identify.
But we've all said that, haven't we?

I can no longer post under my real name so I have had to join again!!
This is really Pete talking

I bought The Base Curry Sauce from a Restaurant



I went back to one of the places that gave me a cooking demonstration, and I bought the sauce.
On it?s own it is really nice
If you used it to make a curry, then you couldn?t fail to make a brilliant curry.
This sauce is thick.
It has a taste of mildly spiced tomatoes
I know it's mainly onion but the tomato seems to dominate
If you make a shape in it, it doesn?t fill in.
It has the same consistency as any sauce with a curry.
You could happily eat it on its own.
It is red brown
Salty
Smells of caramelised garlic ginger
There are some very finely chopped white bits in which I thought might? be tomato seeds, then I thought they might be garlic, now I really don?t know.
They don?t seem to have much of a flavour but are slightly crisp.
There is definitely an amount of garlic in it (my mouth knows it had a curry)
I think the closest I have made to this, is Muttleys Non Rambling Base.
In fact I am currently thawing out some of his base to do a direct comparison.
I will post the result
