very true George, we have seen this all before, i will make this at the weekend, will cook the onions whole as thats how i have seen it done in the BIR's in glasgow, not sure if that makes a difference but will give it a bash

I made a Jalfrezi tonight (own recipe) with the original Glasgow base and it was really nice. I altered the water content and the cooking method to suit what I'm used to though and that seemed to make all the difference. Strangely, unlike the previous two curries I made, it didn't seem oily this time.

Anyway, I suppose that as the oil content has been reduced in this version it will be even better and I would recommend giving it a go. Remember though that the precooked meat has to be used, as well, as much of the spicing comes from this.

It's a pity that bb1 has been scared off because I would have liked some more recipes. Personally I think we've lost a good resource (no thanks in particular to CA's paranoid posting!).

I'm less worried about the base because I have the intelligence to work around the problems I have with it. But we've lost the recipes as well now!

Is this not it ?

No phil. I meant we've lost any further curry recipes that bb1 was going to post - and irrespective of the base saga, that would have been useful information for the forum.

Oh, I agree with that completely : I thought you meant that either the Big Yin had deleted them or you had been unable to find them after Stew's re-shuffle.
