I did leave the gravy cooking for some time, I think perhaps singeing the spices would be best to try 1st. I know theres a learning curve & im not far into it, so will need to take more time, think its best to try to get some feedback/support though so its more of a guided effort.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated.

I currently use the chewy base & mix powder.  Cooked a madras to his recipe, but it just seems to be lacking in depth of flavour to my takeaway, wondering if anyone else gets the same?  its still very nice, but not quite there.  Any tips??
