I have tried so many bases from many different sources I made this base it took about 6 hours to get right and I think it certainly is a lot to do with the time it cooks, I used this base and  it is absolutely brilliant basic ingrediants this makes a excellent sweet base I use a receipe cross between CK's and CBM for madras and I think this matches my local IR I also made a bhuna I can recommend this to everyone

If you interested in my reciepe let me know
