Topic: Water leaking from curry?

Thanks for the tips and guidance everyone - the science bit made interesting reading, although admittedly it went way over my head  :

Also had this though i think it was from the rice

Rice will tend to draw water out of a defective base due to capillary action, but the problem is still the base - the veggies in the base are not soft enough to break up into small enough pieces to hold the water around them and instead act as a mesh through which the water drains out. Cooking the onions twice of three times as long and thoroughly blending is the fix.
