OK. I ended up with 4.95L of base using this recipe. Do the rest of you get around this too?

Cheers

floydmeddler,

i get between 4.5 & 4.6L each time. i do tend to thin it a bit further when i start to cook with it (in the range of 300 to 500ml) - which would get me bang on u'rs.

Cool. I use 300ml per curry so that's around 16 portions! :) :)

floydmeddler,

yes for sure this base produces as u say a real good yield. i too use 300ml per portion plus 75ml going in with the spices.

the versatility across the full range of dishes is another plus for me.

JerryM ,

Do you put Coriander and Marg in the Saffron Base when you make it ?

emin-j,

i do. in fact i make all 3 of my top 3 bases in the same manner and with specific ingredient additions. these being coriander root, marg, coconut block, x2 garlic, whole spice. the spices and the rest of the ingredients i keep exactly as spec other than i up the onion content.

tarrawingie,

yes i am sure it would work. i've not actually done it myself on this recipe but have used pro rata on other recipes. i tend to aim these day's for an 800g onion portion of base and might just give the pro rata a try on the next go.

JerryM ,

I am making a new batch of base on Friday basically like the Saffron but minus the Tomato and Garlic , I am partly using information I gained when I spent some time in the kitchen of our favourite T/A , the Chef said they do not put Garlic ( or Tomatoes ) in their base as the strong flavour of Garlic is too strong for a Base Sauce  :-\ anyway theirs is the best Madras for miles so I am at least going to try it .
I will also add Coriander stalks ( as T/A ) some Coconut Block and Marge ( found in other bases I have tried .
What do you think JerryM.  ;)
