Hi Curryhell

Thank you! - I've just printed out some of the recipes from that part of the forum (yours included) and will let you know how I get on with them.

Hi SteveMac555

Well done on producing such a good looking base and curry on your first attempt!

I know for a fact that my first efforts looked no where as good as yours!

Thanks for posting the pictures too.

Regards

Hi solarsplace

Thank you! - I wasn't too sure what to expect with the first one, but now that I've done my first I am looking what to make for the second. I am thinking a Korma, but might end up making something hot instead, who knows

I am also looking for a good alternative curry base to make for the second batch in a few weeks time, not that the CA base isn't good (it's actually very easy to make and produces good results), but I would like to try out some others and mix things up a bit.

Well here is my update!

Finished off the curry and had it for tea...

Ended up adding more paprika, chilli powder, tandoori paste and peas & chicken and some more ginger

Pics below.













And was delicious - Thanks again to everyone who posts recipes and help/tips on these forums. Will be making more in the near future!

Hi Cory

I made this today and it came out a treat! This was actually my first time doing anything with a curry and found it quite easy to follow.

I uploaded some pics of it in the forum here:

Thanks for this amazing base

Hi All

First of all, I only found this site yesterday and was inspired to make myself a nice curry (which isn't finished yet) I've got the 3 portions of the base done (two are now in the freezer) and the 3rd one which I have started to make a masala curry with.

So I thought I would share the results!

The base is made from the Curry Base "gravy/sauce" by Cory Ander but using ground ginger instead of fresh and without the coriander stalks/roots. I also reduced the salt as well. It actually took me a while to source most of the spices I needed but seems worth it in the end.

My cooking skills are normally limited to beans on toast and cheese toasties... I am extremely happy with the resulting base.

Pics below.

Curry Base sitting in the pan!






That took about 1hr 20mins and I blended the above into the following...

2 Portions of Curry Base to save in the freezer.




As I didn't have anymore than two suitable containers to freeze the 3rd portion - I decided to start on the actual curry sauce (which I'll be finishing and having tomorrow, it's in the fridge) and came up with the following.. It currently tastes delicious and I am sure after adding some peas and chicken It'll be even better.







And that's how it looks currently! - It may look a bit pale as I didn't really want to add any food colouring to it. Once it's finished tomorrow I'll take a few more pics and update this thread.

A big thank you to everyone on here who posts these amazing recipes! - If I can make something out of them then anyone can.

Regards

Steve

P.S.  Big thanks to Cory Ander for the actual recipe.
