Had a go at this one today. Other than a mishap with the blender it went pretty faultlessly. I probably altered the quantities a bit and the spice mix was pretty much made up but I just went with what felt right but the end result is a very nice sweet base. I very often already add cinnamon to my dishes, so this gives a light hint of the flavour that I'm used to.

I didn't get chance to make anything with it as I thoroughly cooked it through for many hours, so time ran out.

Made a Vindaloo with it last night. The results were excellent and the curry tasted exactly like my local take-away Vindaloo. I made the sauce a bit thicker than I usually would, but actually I think I prefer it like this.



Excuse the presentation - just wanted to eat at this point... Lol

It's probably not too critical. A litre should be fine.

Crack them open, so the seed is released 

CH - you are right mate - just check them in whole and boil away
