Hi Danny and welcome!

Pick the taz base and look up Stephen Lindsay's recipes for the taz base. You can hardly go wrong.

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.

OK, understood.  In that case let me say that my personal preferred base is KD1/PC, but there are many other excellent bases documented on this site that others will recommend.  I do not personally use a masala, preferring to add the spices individually.  Others will, I am sure, recommend their preferred masala.
