Hi Domi,
Thanks ever so much for trying my base. I think you have given it a very fair critique and overall, seems like you enjoyed it with your madras.
It DOES release a bit of oil during the final dish stage, which for me is great, as I do spoon off, and use on mi next curry. Not quite sure why the base holds onto the oil, maybe it needs more simmering after blending, don't know?
As for trying it as a one pot base, maybe it can be done this way, but, because I use tin tomatoes, I'm always worried about if they are bitter. Doing this way, at least I can control the sweetness/bitterness before I add it to the rest of the base.
Overall, I'm well chuffed with an 8 out of 10 ;D and I don't mind Admins just edging mine, as his was a real Bradford BIR base I think?
I will try to work on a spice blend now to compliment this base, and I've already got a few ideas.

Once again Dom, thankyou so much for giving it a go. I don't mind telling you, I was absolutely shittin it, in case you hated it lol
Ray ;D ;D
