Hi tc
Thanks for the feedback, glad the recipe has worked for you.
My 3 hour base recipe with the whole onions will zip down to 1 hour
if you use your pressure cooker.
Mind you, if your giving your base away, you may want to consider
buying a restaurant size version.

cheers Chewy. ;D

 
Thanks for that advice on the restaurant sized pressure cooker, but noooo!  Besides Chewy, after I made yesterdays batch if word got out I had such a good curry base here I'd have a queue outside when I got home. 

Next, is to make your madras with your base.

chewy sorry to be a pain,but,can you sort this out for me. I want to have a go at your gravy but, there are differences between the two recipes.

1- oil 200 or 150ml.
2- infused with Tej Patta and Cassia or not.
3- red & green capsicum or just green.
4- 2 inch piece of fresh ginger or 3.
5- 1 tbsp of Haldi or 1 tsp.
6- 1 tsp of Mixed Powder or 1 tbsp.

C'mon chewy you can do it.

watch it here Curry in a Hurry

This one turns out more like a medium curry with the extra spice and infused oil.


Hope this helps, Chewy

cheers chewy  if you get anymore layed back in the videos you will be a sleep. good vids by the way.

@CT

Now I have a pressure cooker I'll give this a go.

To clarify as written instructions seem to be slightly different to the video; after 30 mins are up you add haldi, mix powder and 500 ml of water, blend then sieve before simmering for 10 mins?

You then transfer to another pot and put an additional 3 cups of water in then give it another simmer for 10 mins or so skimming off the froth?  Only the video mentions another 500 ml only?

Accepting that it is maybe not overly important, I'd be grateful if you could please clarify the method after the initial 30 mins cook.

Dave

Oh well, probably make no difference anyway so I'll crack on!

Made this base for the first time yesterday, then used it in CA's madras. All I can say is I think I have a new favourite base! Fantastic Chewy! Thanks for posting and a great vid. (Could do with subtitles though for us southerners!!)

Pretty new to BIR's but made this base last weekend, after deciding not to continue with the KD base I made, and put it together with Chewys Madras, had to tone it down a bit (southern softy) and it was still hot, but it was fabulous, many thanks Chewy, gonna try a Bhuna this weekend
