Curry Base Chat / Tried Darth's base

« on: September 03, 2007, 03:07 AM »

Hi Everyone:
Since Darth's base seems to be the most popular on the poll I thought I'd try that one first. Had a couple questions about the finished product. I cut it down to a third of the recipe. The finished product looked very green maybe too much green pepper. Also it tasted kind of watery so I stuck a knorr vegetable bullion cube in it and it helped with the water. I simmered it with the lid on so I wonder if that made a difference with the water problem. Have to see it was very good though. We made a vegetable curry with it. Yum!
Any thoughts on the water and green look?

Hi everyone:
I'm new to the site. Found it while trying to find recipes which are just like the curry we get at the restaurants (and while I was doing some major procrasinating on work I need to do). We live here in the US, but have lots of curry restaurants around us and are completely in love with it. Have to say my husband is Thrilled I found this site. We like the vegetable dishes the best so I'm looking for lots of those. My favorite is chickpeas, my husband loves eggplant.
Looking forward to trying all sorts of bases out.

It was me whso was confused. After just a little searching I had noticed some sauces had the tomato puree and some didn't. So we're busy today trying darth's gravy base, but I'm still looking for some nice veggy recipes. Is there one you can recommend?

Thanks, I had reviewed the base sauces and wasn't sure if the onion bases or other bases would be best. I guess we'll just have to start experimenting. ;D

Curry Base Chat / Curry base and chickpeas

I'm so excited to find this website. I've been trying to recreate indian recipes for a very long time. I'm actually (GASP) in the US and I see a lot about chicken recipes, but as a vegetarian I love the chickpea, lentil and other vegetable curries. Don't know if these are as popular in the BIR's.
My question is do you know what would be the base for the veggy dishes particularly the chickpeas. Usually called Chana Masala here.
I wasn't sure if the onion or one of the others would be better.
Thanks so much,
Sydney
