I've just joined and im going to make a base sauce and a masala this weekend.
Any recommendations?
Welcome, Danny. For a base sauce, each has his/her owned preferred recipes, and many will, I am sure, make good and useful suggestions. But when you speak of making a masala, I am less clear what you mean. My understanding of the term is that it refers to a blend of spices, but I wonder whether you have that in mind or whether you are thinking of making a dish that is usually sold as "something masala" (for example, chicken chlli masala). If you could clarify this I am sure you will get many helpful replies.
