Topic: New Glasgow curry base sauce.

[gazman1976]

very true George, we have seen this all before, i will make this at the weekend, will cook the onions whole as thats how i have seen it done in the BIR's in glasgow, not sure if that makes a difference but will give it a bash

If you look at the poll the base is split equal
I made the base it was oily next time less oil
you really can't comment unless you make it
otherwise you will keep going round in circles

I made a Jalfrezi tonight (own recipe) with the original Glasgow base and it was really nice. I altered the water content and the cooking method to suit what I'm used to though and that seemed to make all the difference. Strangely, unlike the previous two curries I made, it didn't seem oily this time.

Anyway, I suppose that as the oil content has been reduced in this version it will be even better and I would recommend giving it a go. Remember though that the precooked meat has to be used, as well, as much of the spicing comes from this.

It's a pity that bb1 has been scared off because I would have liked some more recipes. Personally I think we've lost a good resource (no thanks in particular to CA's paranoid posting!).

IF the OP had said in his first post that the recipe was in the experimental and testing phase, then things might've been different.
He's already on his 3rd revision.  :

I'm less worried about the base because I have the intelligence to work around the problems I have with it. But we've lost the recipes as well now!

Is this not it ?

No phil. I meant we've lost any further curry recipes that bb1 was going to post - and irrespective of the base saga, that would have been useful information for the forum.

Has BB1 left the forum?

Oh, I agree with that completely : I thought you meant that either the Big Yin had deleted them or you had been unable to find them after Stew's re-shuffle.

I think the poor chap is in hiding!

He feels, and probably with some justification, that he has been badly got at when all he was trying to do was share his experience.
