Hi mick and a big welcome... ;D ;D

Welcome, Mick.  You're right, there are a lot of base sauce recipes here.  That's part of the fun, trying different ones and seeing (eating!) the results.  Here's a non-scientific poll of people's favorites:

Sometimes people will mention which garam masala they used for cooking a dish.  I like Kris Dhillon's because it's easy (no heating of spices), and I like the flavor (not too much cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon, which I often find overpowering).  I'm sure a lot (most?) people will disagree.

Yep Most Definitely make your own Garam Massala as merry has already said the KD recipe is good thats the one I use good luck.
