There was some additional evidence a few minutes ago to support my conjecture that using the Taz base with reduction method leads to an increase in the "this house smells like the Taj of Kent" tirades from SWMBO. She is studying hard for her next exams at the moment (this coming Friday & Saturday), so does not really have time to participate in family meals. When she said she would not be eating this evening, I replied "OK, in that case I will cook another curry". "That's fine", she said, "just so long as you open the kitchen window". Now this will be the third night in a row that I have cooked a curry, using my modified KD1 base and Chicken Madras recipes, and even the thought of a third curry has not set her off. Had I been using the Taz base and reduction method, on the other hand, I can guarantee that I would never have got away with three curries in a row !
