New member here. Made this base sauce today and to be quite honest I thought it tasted ok when I finished.
However, after making a vindaloo with it I've realised it's actually quite bitter and doesnt taste nice at all.
It's most definitely the base sauce as well, I 'm convinced the white cabbage is the culprit. Had I left that out
I'm almost certain it would of taste better.
My sauce looked exactly like Chewy's in the video, but less oily. My vindaloo looked like a restaurant curry, but thats where it ended I'm afraid. Bit gutted, spent way more than what a take away cost on ingredients and a hand blender. All in all with washing up again and again, about six hours wasted. I feel like I've done a days work almost, and for nothing. Ah well, not beginners luck here then. Still got bitter taste in my mouth now, over 45 mins ago since eating it.
I do have some base sauce left, and I'm considering adding something to it, like chicken stock maybe, in the hope of making it worth eating. Or maybe it's only fit for the bin.

Well done to all of you that are successful at it though, sure it taste great if done right. Can't for the life of me see where I've gone wrong though and for it to taste that bad.
