Cooking it at the moment. I've taken a picture, but I'm waiting for the dropbox to synchronize the picture and I'll post it here afterwards :-)

I think I finally get the "onion sweaty smell" which I seem to recall Julian Voigt commenting on about.

I nailed the "chicken korma" with the BIR taste. It's a mix of taz base and c2g recipe, using ghee instead of oil. Somehow I find it it's quite oily this time, which isn't very pleasing to my taste, but I'm quite happy. Too a few pictures and will post them later.

Oh, and I also adde banana at the end. De-li-ci-ous!

gagomes did you add ghee at the start of the curry? If so that will account for it being oily. The Taz base contains a huge amount of oil such that you don't add any more when cooking the curries and it isn't inter-changeable with other recipes as the method of cooking is different to the norm. you might want to check out any of my Taz recipes where the method is shown.

Yes, I did indeed Stephen! Thanks for pointing it out, sure next time it's gonna taste better (though I wouldn't try to change the flavour at all, it was great already! :)
I think now I understand the "oil separation" part better, because I was able to scoop out quite a few TBSPs of oil out of the korma, which, in my previous experience with darthphall's base, didn't happen!

Sorry to waken up this thread, but I didn't wanted to create a new topic. Has anyone tried the cook4one base sauces? they have several, it seems how they've improved the recipe over the years.

http://www.cook4one.co.uk/c2/bases/c45base.html
http://www.cook4one.co.uk/c2/bases/c46base.html

I'm sort of curious, as they seem to have a pretty decent collection of recipes
