Thanks guys.

I used a basic base that I recently got inspiration for off this site:

1 kg onions
1 red capsicum (skinned and de seeded)
1 carrot
Salt and oil and water. All made as per normal.


The beef was marinated and precooked in the slow cooker.

The mix powder I made was:

4 parts Hot Madras curry powder
2 parts turmeric
2 parts coriander
2 parts cumin
2 parts birdseye chilli powder
1 part garam masala
1 part black pepper

Method.

1/2 chef spoon veg oil and half chefs spoon home made ghee into pan on heat.
2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste, fry off without burning
2/3 chefs spoon mix powder (plus a tsp chilli powder for mine, no more for wifes), fry off for a short period
tsp methi
4 tbsp. coconut milk
about half cup tomato passatta, fry off
1 x ladle of base
cook for a while, add some more base then add pre cooked meat and potato's
Cook for a while, while adding some more base and some fresh coriander
Squeeze of lemon juice
Garnish with coconut milk and fresh coriander

After I cooked this I realised I didn't add enough salt, there was salt in the base but not enough.

Nor quite AIR (Australian Indian Restaurant) but I'm working on it.
