Hi Stew just in process of making a batch of this base for the first time, I must say having read the replies I am very optimistic about it.
   I hope this is going to take my curries to the next level. I have made many different bases Dipuraji, 3 hour base , Darths, Kd1, Kd2, Bruce Edwards, Pat Chapman, curry 2 go,Taz,  amongst others, my favourite been KD2 as it is very versatile and tasty.
   It does smell very nice at the moment just have to add spice and wait for oil to rise, then its lads round for good few beers and curry night, not sure what curry it will be, prob a Madras as its always a good benchmark for a new base.
   I shall post results tomorrow!!!! hang over permitting
   Thanks for great post mate

Looking forward to the follow up report and a few pics of the finished article  ;D

Good to see this recipe still going strong.
Madrasandy would love to see your pics of finished curries.

Good luck with the dinner party, let us know how it goes.

Cheers.
Stew

  Hi Stew, made a madras last night but after cooking the base all afternoon/teatime and after drinking too many beers and not eating till 10.00 im afraid I cant really comment properly on the results. Yes it was a lovely curry, friends ate it within minutes and took some base home with them, but Im afraid my senses were a little curried out!!!
  I have a portion of base sat in the fridge and will be making another curry tonight for the Mrs, the best judge of all curries I make! As my favourite base is KD2 maybe the spicing of the base was a little strong to what I am used to, or maybe subconsciously thats what I thought while cooking, but the true test of the curry will be tonight when my sinuses are clear and I wont be too intoxicated to cook!!!
   Sorry didnt take pictures of the curry last night, I always remember after it has all gone, but I will take some of tonights and will post results tomorrow

Regards

Andy

 Made a Chicken Bhuna with extra chillis last night and have to say it was a belting curry, full of flavour and as good as any take away according to the wife, Ive never had a take away bhuna so cant comment on that. I still think the base is a little too flavoured but it is an outstanding base and am so glad I made it.
  Cheers Stew for the recipe

  Take some pics and will upload them shortly

Delicious and yummy 

I am making this base today as I type for the first time. and going to make a madras with it this evening ;D

I made this today - certainly looks the part and tastes nice.  I'm pretty new to this. Can this base be used for a Korma?
