« on: May 02, 2018, 01:53 PM »Gotcha. I'm doing a bit of a cook today. I've taken that on board.
How did you get on with this method of cooking the garlic livo? Think I will give it a whirl.

Yes I agree that it could do with updating otherwise this will go unused for the majority.
How about a more compact and refined run down of the revised?

Sorry for the Bump!
Just wondering what type/part of lamb is recommended here - for tenderness, taste?
Any suggestions please?
Regards

I did this base yesterday (3 kilo onions) - revised my measurements that I noted above.
Will be doing 1.5kg next time as I have ended up with around 19 portions!!!
Anyway, I have thinned it out - think I added an extra 5l water in all. The base is thin and does has that nice aroma about it.
Made Chewys tikka and dip's korma last night and both were very good.
Very pleased and thanks very much for posting these findings JB

Lets Talk Curry / What metal pan do you cook with ?
« on: October 12, 2014, 11:44 AM »
Hi all. just wondered what people cook with - pan material wise?
Aluminium? Cast iron? stainless?
Anyone concerned with 'apparent' safety issues with some metals?
Personally, I cook with aluminium and a chefs spoon (similar anyway) - probably not the safest combo!
Thoughts anyone?

I'm surprised that you're surprised that we're surprised!
I'm surprised that SS is surprised about mac being surprised at others showing signs of surpise
Think I've surprised myself actually

Hi all, this does sound promising and after not making a base for a while I am really excited about giving this a go
Can I ask if the following seems about right - proportion wise?
3 kilo white onions(chopped)
1 green pepper or 1 red pepper (or half and half)
small bunch coriander stalks
1 small carrot
60 grms plain veg oil
60 grms blended plum tomatoes
30 grms fresh ginger & garlic (50/50) blended with water
15 grms salt
15 grms turmeric
50 grms block coconut block
cover and cook for 2 hours until onions melt
then add:
7.5 grms turmeric
2.5 grms of chilli powder?
7.5 grms cumin
7.5 grms coriander
30 grms blended plum tomatoes
cover and cook for 30 mins then blend the base
Add water to thin the base
finely chop and fry 5 cloves of garlic until brown, tip into full amount of base, swill pan with a ladle of base and tip back into base.
Does all the above seem about right if we say 2 chefs spoons are 30grms?
My main question is do I add enough water to thin out, (per base batch) to double up the entire base batch size?
or is it approx added water of 1 ltr ? 2 ltr etc etc???
Thanks in advance
