Well done. Any pictures? What dish did you make with it?

Well done. Any pictures? What dish did you make with it?

And (dare I ask this ?), did you make the full 7kg version, or did you scale it down ?
** Phil (who has no cooking vessel that could conceivably hold 7kg of onions).

Any chance of getting back on topic?? I wish I hadn't posted my pictures now... If you want to trade insults why not PM each other? A few more threads like this and Bigboaby1 will probably go elsewhere,I sincerely hope not but I wouldn't blame him.We've already lost CBM(who incidentally has just got himself into another BIR kitchen which we won't be seeing).
cheers JB

Now ain't that the truth?  I'm all for asking questions where clarity is needed.  Granted, what is "sufficiently" clear to some doesn't always meet the exacting demands of others. But have a  good look through this post and asses how much is actually on topic before you even start to analyse what is double edged, baiting, well off topic and down right insulting.  Of late  this forum or should i say, some of its members can be unneccesarily a little "full on" in their approach.  The same could be said for quite  a few recent threads.  Is politeness and common courtesy a thing of the past?  Given that many of us are nearer retirement or are already there, this is quite a damning indictment, don't you think?  This incessant in fighting and constant arguing and exchange of insults really does need to stop.  And i really wouldn't blame BB if he tipped us all b******s and left.  It wouldn't be his loss but it would be ours  .
I apologise for adding to the off topic discussion but i really think that at times out and out hostility exists to any suggestion of something that doesn't quite fit into "our" idea of BIR cooking.  Unfortunately, wer'e not the experts, hence why we are here (other than those who are so hacked off and have left) and are unlikely to increase our knowledge further given the prevailing demenour.
Rant over.  Now, is there the slightest chance we can get back on topic?

@ Mr mojorisin - well done, sir!

I'm glad people are trying this and those that do are consistenly liking the results. 

I posted earlier that I tried halfing the entire recipe and loved it - it made amout 10 portions worth of base if I remember correctly - hard to remember as I cooked up loads when I discovered how good it was - wanted to know what everything would taste like.

Lets get back to cooking, I also apologise if I wound anyone up - just anxious to see positive feedback on a quality product!

Just peeled my 7kg of onions and not one tear
until I looked on this thread

Good to see an on topic post .  I'm delighted to hear that this is right up your street Mr M. You are not alone in giving very positive feedback on BB's post.  Hopefully BB will take heart from this and continue to post for those who have actually realised what they have been searching for. BB's efforts are at the end of the day for our benefit  : Any chance of pics and porn Mr M?

I fear that George may have inadvertently associated you with one or more of the messages that preceded yours in the thread -- easily done, given the insults that /have/ been thrown around on here today (and in the past).

My apologies - I don't know how I misread the insults flying from SS and SteveJet as coming from Ruby, but I'm still puzzled as to how anyone could think it unreasonable to try and clarify spice measures which could vary by as much as 300%. I'm not blaming BB1 either - almost everyone fails to confirm how their spoon measures should be interpreted.

[DalPuri]

At a guess, i would say this gravy is hitting the mark for a few that have tried it because of the amount of oil. And we all know that the oil is the messenger and the spice is the message. Right?    ;D
Half the fat, half the flavour and all that.
To date, the best tasting curries i've made were with the Taz base. Again, a base with double the amount of oil compared to most.
I'd like to see someone add 1ltr of oil to say, Chewys base? and see what they get. 

Frank.
