Hi Natterjak,
Have you tried chewey's 3 hour base ?
https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5606.0I use 3k of ALDI onions, 1 very large green pepper
and less water, follow as per cheweys video.
I have also used 2 large Table spoons of Bassar mix (an emergency) instead
of spice mix with good results :-)
Anyway give it a try and let us know how you get on.
Its a mild curry on its own (Bassar mix version) you can pop a skinned chicken
in the base if you want, remove when cooked, but that's another story
