So you mix these spices and fry them off in the oil then add the gravy base to make the complete curry?

Well I tried admins new base sauce recipe from http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1894.0 and wow.. I can't believe its that simple.. the gravy came out perfect better than any of the takeways ive been to here.

The only thing is I dont know what spice mix to go with the base sauce.. I just had the base gravy with some meat and vegetables and it was pretty damn near..

What is a good jalfrezi recipe that matches this base sauce because ive still got some left.. and I think i'm pretty close to cracking it!

Cheers for all the feedback guys, yeh I can find the pataks paste easily in most places in sydney. As i said its the closest u can get to BIR out of the jar.. but I'm looking to make the real thing so i'll be making my own paste, base etc from scratch.

My favourite was always the lamb jalfrezi so tomorrow I am attempting taz or ahmed's base and taking it from there..

Wish me luck in my new curry adventure, I've tried doing it from scratch before and have gotten closeish but I never realised that you need to do a base sauce then fry the spices for aroma etc..

This place is a goldmine of info!

Hi Everyone!

Havent had a real BIR style curry for years.. they just don't exist here in Australia. I've tried pretty much every 'curry' place in my area (sydney) and the curries just arent the same.. not even close!

The closest I've got with my home efforts is mixing the pataks sauce with the pataks paste.. but its nothing like the real thing.

Finally a website with an active forum to teach me how! I think I may actually break down in tears if I finally can make a real takeaway style curry after so many attempts.

A few noob questions.

-Is it better to do big bulk batches or can you experiment with smaller ones till you get the perfect mix?
- Are the spices/ingredients freely available from any supermarket?

I see there is loads of info on this board so i'm getting reading!...

Cheers,
Jon
