So this is the latest offering of a BIR base sauce with a further video to follow on his interpretation of it use,
  I'll leave you to decide

Looks very close to a few Balti Bases i have made in the past, instead of placing who;e spices in they are placed in a spice ball.

As I did with my last batch of base, in fact.

Well, "fascinating", is all I can say.  Finally found time to watch more than the first 30 seconds, and was intrigued to discover just how thick the end product was.  Now all we have to do is to wait for the next video to discover how the base is diluted to make the final curry.

What is the second spice he adds directly after the mustard seeds? Is he saying 5 spices (ie, panch phoron)?

Keeps in the fridge 14 days because no water is added.

He does say it has lots of flavour.  All those whole spices blitzed into the mix. Bay leaf, cassia bark, star anise, black and green cardamom and cloves plus all the seeds.  This is a very different approach compared to the familiar mildly spiced wet base gravy.

It will be very interesting to see what he makes with it in the next  episode.

Certainly sounded like five (something) spices when I first heard it, and again today.  Just realised that he is wearing a turmeric-coloured cable-knit jumper

I noticed the jumper as well and had the exact same thought. I'm a notoriously messy person in busy mode with absolutely no consideration given to clothing preservation. Curry day is the colour of Turmeric although yesterday I actually spent the time to cover the gas stove with alfoil for the first time.
