I now wonder whether potatoes are really necessary and if the the SnS Base (or Saffron) could be improved by NOT using potatoes.

I've been leaving them out since the first time ;D

Why did you not mention this when you first 'endorsed' this base Bobby. Are you now saying that the base is better without the potatoes in - or have you never used them at all - so nothing to compare with.  :-\

I'm convinced that I can taste the difference and prefer it without. I started doing this with Saffron. It's only a subtle difference mind you. I genuinely just forgot to mention it.

I can't remember exactly but I would imagine I probably made it with the tatties first time around.

I made the Saffron a number of times, always with the potatoes. I could taste them. Not necessarily a negative, but definitely noticeable. Why is it that some are dead set against them?

When I was eating the curry, every so often I was like, oh, there's the tatties!

The taste just crops up (no pun intended) from time to time and is really anti BIR taste!

I have just cooked Sn S's base as per the instructions right at  ;D ;Dthe head of this thread and although I have it looking darker than the photographs it smells the business and I cant wait to have ago with it when friends come round in a fortnight.

I haven't been on the site for a while having just used the tried and trusted recipes from my visits about a year ago so looking forward to getting reacquainted with it all.

Cheers Panpot

Hi Panpot

Glad you like the base - I hope it 'hits the spot' for you.

Are you not going to 'practise' with it before your friends come round in two weeks time?

Which recipe are you using with it?

Regards
SnS  ;)

Just finshed my first lot of base :) Looks good, possibly needs a bit of diluting not sure yet. Tasted quite salty too is that correct? Only used 1tbs.  :o
