Hi Alan,

Was the food mill any good, the one I posted a link to. If so I'll get one myself.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Alan
Great news, happy this base is working for you.

Yes your right, it's all about the onions and boiling the hell out of them.

And to think, I was taught this base and method back in 1973, so really, you and Mrs Moony should get glammed up
and have Slade, Sweet and Wizzard playing in the background the next time you sit down to a "Moontser Madras" ;D

cheers Chewy

Fantastic post - I have been in the Ashoka kitchens for a cooking lesson - few yrs ago at 11am In the morning - they already had a massive pot full of whole White onions boiling away - I think chewy has cracked the base - going to have a go at panpots Ashoka base now and boil them for a good 6 hours whole and see if I get a good result - cheers chewy

Hey Chewy,

Finally found a food mill at a price that agrees with me. Got this one off ebay for 8.60GBP inc delivery.

Hopefully it will arrive before next weekend, just in time to knock up another batch of your curry base.

Waddya think?

Hi Barry,

Will do mate, can't wait for it to arrive ;D

Just one observation though, even the attachment with the smallest holes is still nowhere near as fine as a sieve so it going to be interesting to see how it compares with sieving.

Wish me luck

Ray

Hi Ray
Looks great, brand new in fact, under a tenner

Bargain
The plate that's in there should be small enough, if I remember rightly you just adjust the tension spring on the central pole.
An ideal planet friendly, low tech kitchen gadget, plus a really good bicep workout ;D
You'll have an arm like Hellboy in no time

Ah, I see, so the more tension you apply, the finer the grind?

Well, looking forward to giving it a go, so, hopefully, full report offered about Saturday(ish)

Guys,

I've just remembered this from last year https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4749.0

Base on the success that I'm having with Chewy's base, it seems that I/we was on the right track over 12 months ago :

Why the hell didn't I persue it further, god only knows

Ray

Ray,

That looks more or less the same as the one I got from not so Amazon, at triple the price

.

Nice find mate, patientce is a virtue, which is sadly something i lack.

Paul i would purchase the same one as Razor, I cant see how there will be any difference in performance from the one i bought to Rays purchase.

Alan ;D
