This is very tasty base gravy. Having just used it to make Latif's Chicken Tikka Masala (modified slightly to near BIR style in that I used Base Gravy and Mixed Powder instead of traditional cooking method) and a BIR style Lamb Dopiaza, I can attest that it makes good curry. Well worth the effort of making the spiced tomato puree. The additional carrots are not noticeable as carrot flavor and the sauce thickens up really well.
