:)Ive just finished making this base sauce and i can tell you ITS THE BEST! ive ever made,i didnt think the base sauce would make such a massive difference but it does.
Ive in total made about 7 different curry base sauces over as many years on and off trying to get that British Indian Takeaway taste,not the classic indian food the way they make it but the BIR taste and this is it.
I made both the small version and today made the big version, the big version is much,much better.I bought all the ingredients,bought a gigantic stock pot about 15 inches across, aluminium and holds about 25 litres,its that big i cant stop laughing at it,its bigger than the restaurants use,but it was worth every penny.
Anyway made the big version and it put a big smile on my face,it was so delicious with the background taste that had been missing from other bases i had made before.I used approx 8 kg of onions,i peeled that many both my family and my cats eyes were streaming with the fumes but it didnt effect me,normally i have to wear goggles,but not this time,top tip, have a bite out of the onion lik its an apple,after that my eyes DID NOT water.
I dont need to look for any other base sauce recipe as this is the genuine real McCoy,infact my wife and kids said it tastes better than any takeaway they have ever eaten.I made a basic korma with this base sauce,by adding 1 chefs spoon of coconut powder.1/2 of almond,1 of sugar,squirt of uht single cream and 1 chefs spoon of tandoori masala,heated it up and wow, my eyes nearly popped out of my head,it was the dogs boll..ks.
