Hey mike

I've just got to say I've just made a bhuna using this base and it is FANTASTIC!

This base is better than Darth's IMO (and I never thought I'd hear meself say that )

Superb base!!!

If you don't try it then there's something wrong with you

100% bang on  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Bugger the stew bases, bugger the turnip/parsnip sweetness etc etc..... I have been converted

And there's no need to leave it overnight either.....in fact, I doubt you'd be able to

Thanks Boss

Looks like its on the to do list  ;D Was going to do a batch of Darth`s base but being as you recommend it so strongly I will give it a go. What Bhuna recipe did you use chuck?  ;D

Hi team,  what size "cube" of ginger/tin of tomatoes did you use?

Hi Mike,

I just used an inch cube of ginger, roughly chopped (it gets blended)
I also use 1 400g tin of cheap chopped tomatoes (12p)

Stew

I've got the base made up ready to go so will report tomorrow on how it goes.  Mine looks svery similar to the pics not the usual yellow\brown colour.

That'll be the paprika, i've often wondered if the BIR's mix paprika and chilli together, cos then it would be easier to tell how Hot the dish is by the colour...also you never see 2 separate pots of reddish powder around the rest of the spices, and Hot dishes always come darker.

You could be right there John although I have tried bases with paprika in before that still come out that dark yellow color, maybe it's that this base leaves a lot of regular things out.  Anyway I am trying it tonight so will report on the final curry and if I get a chance take some pics.
