Well i must say my base was thick too, i did cook on a fairly high heat, last nights picture of my madras shows little oil, As from north to south on taste im 300 miles from glasgow, weve got the same taste here as in scotland, BB1's base prove's it. secondly i phoned my friend barry in burnham,south buck's and asked him what the taste of the curries were like down there, his answer the same as the west midland's, George, im afraid you need to go and do some real cooking rather than cook a concoction and say it taste's nice! then ask for a full size version of the glasgow base, why not just cook what's been given to you? And come back with some positive result's, another useless contribution to the site, no offence.
but there you have it.

Quote from: Stephen Lindsay on January 18, 2013, 11:23 PMSure you may not understand my accent and may wonder what possesses us Scots to wear the kilt and extend a friendly welcome with the phrase "what the (moderated) are you looking at". Yes we have our funny ways but the tartan (or Glasgow) curry is not, in my opinion, a homogeneous product.

indeed, "we're not all Rob Roys you know"...  ;)

I agree with your view, Stephen. I haven't tried any of these recipes yet, and may never do so (I wonder how many of our friends down south know what a "boaby" is?), but if its in any way authentic it goes a long way to explain how almost every T/A meal local to me tastes the much same with only the odd tweak here and there.

Pronounced "Blantir" by the locals (don't forget the glottal stop on the "t")... :)

Boaby:

Noun.

Definition

(a) Scottish diminutive for a person named Robert, e.g. "Hey! Boaby, it's your round!"
(b) Scottish slang describing the male member, e.g. "She likes a bit o' the boaby."

As the OP's name appears to be Alex, I think that definition (b) is the one! :)
