Top tip - If you put too much salt in a curry (I ruined one once and haven't done it since it was that bad) then adding tomatoes can help even out the flavor.

I always add salt, partially because I'm a heavy smoker and have no capability to taste, but also because it is just a pure flavor enhancer and is delicious. 

Thanks a lot! It went great, just a simple curry with some onion, pepper, chillies, sweet potato and chicken (and lots and lots of coriander!)

Using the base definitely added something to my curry I haven't achieved before. When making one from scratch, I find you get a lot of the dark flavours from the spices and then the really bright flavour from the salt, chilli and tanginess off the tomatoes, but there's no middle ground if that makes sense? This wasn't amazing and was just a first attempt to see how it's done, but it definitely had a much more rounded and full flavour.

Thanks again!

So I've spent all morning looking at different base recipes, I've gone for a relatively simple one based on a few that I've seen. So once I have my base, how do I turn it into an actual curry? There seems to be lots of curry recipes and lots of base recipes, but I'm finding it a little unclear as to how the two come together.

Probably should have done this before I made my base haha. Oh well I guess I'm too impatient.

Any help would be much appreciated, including any nice tips and recipes!

Cheers!!!!
