I made this base gravy last week using approx 750g of onion and downscaled the other ingredients to what I thought best to match this amount of onion. I was most impressed with the gravy, it was slightly sweet with absolutely no hint of bitterness at all. I made several different curries for my family who all gave them the thumbs up. I intend making another batch next week.
I will post the quantities I used later which worked well for me.
Cheers

The light froth is normal - remove any thick stuff as it can taste bitter - but otherwise as SS says, stir it back in.

Hi SnS, many thanks for your sensible reply.

Hi SnS or any one who can help. Am I supposed to scoop off the froth from the base as it cooks in the latter stages?
Thanks

Hi CA
I'll have a look at the newer base version. I'll take onboard your advise re tomato in the final curry's. Boy I'm gonna have fun.
Once again thanks for your help.

Hi Folks,
I'm new here and have a query. I am going to try SnS's base today. Can you point me in the right direction for recipes that will suit this base, for example bhuna, madras jalfrezi?
Many thanks
JJ
