Hi Guys,

Im just new to this site and have a couple of years experience cooking curries but my speciality is veg pakora.

I'll trade this for the best curry base recipe you can recommend on this site

2-3 Maris Piper potatos, cubed into 10mm or smaller size parbolied
1/2 Green Pepper very finely chopped
2-3 green chillis again very finely sliced seeds removed!
6 cloves garlic very finely sliced
4-5 tblspoons of corriander seed
4-5 tblspoons of cumin seed
Salt to taste, fry one first to taste and add more to get it to your preference
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbspoon corriander powder
1 tbspoon cumin powder
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Juice of half a lime
Gram Flour sieved
1 tsp Garam Masala
bunch of fresh roughly chopped corriander
chilli powder - 1/2 tsp or more if you like
2 large onions chopped to suit not too fine
asofieda power 1/4 tsp
Dried methi powder/dried methi leaves - I tend to use this sometimes you can remove this if you like, also, sometimes i chuck in some finely chopped spinach which works well

Mix all of this together into a consistency with Lager, yes i know your laughing but i use Lager as a substitute to water and it really works, after all you get beer battered fish, why not pakora?  mix it well so that it drops off a spoon not too wet once you master it its shooty in

Sauce
Half an Onion
4 fresh tomatoes, skinned
chilli powder how much you like
salt not too much keep tasting to get it right
tomato ketchup
Blend all to a fine liquid, dunk and enjoy

Let me know how you get on, oh and any good curry base links would be good, cheers guys
