I'm a lurker on these boards but I read it regularly and try out some of the recipes, but I feel compelled to post a message as I've just made a fantastic curry using this base sauce  ;D  If I'd been served it at a restaurant I would have been more than happy - in fact it was better than some curries I've had from restaurants.  And I must say a big thanks to Cory Ander who's madras/vindaloo/phal recipe I used with the base, and also his naan bread recipe (which aren't far off restaurant naans and a lot better than the pre-packed ones you get in supermarkets).

When I was making the base at the weekend it smelled much like KD and Darth's base but it did have a bit of 'the smell' about it.  I was encouraged, though, when one of my mates popped round while I was cooking it and said my house smelled like a proper Indians so I knew I must be on the right track    Cheers again!
