Thanks SR, really good base with great instructions. I made this on Saturday following the recipe and instructions exactly except I had no green pepper so used all red. The house smelled wonderful (to me) with all that fried garlic and I love the sizzle when this was added to the base. I've never sieved a base before but this did remove a small amount of pepper skins so resulting base is super smooth. Not had a chance to use it in a curry yet but I have high hopes! ;D
