London , using cross between my base, taz base and kd2 base, all experimental of course, all very good but no eureka moment as of yet.
 Thats why I am now making Jb's base in the search for the perfect one ( for my tastebuds anyhow), whether it will be better than anything else remains to be seen , but my fingers are well and truly crossed.

Looking forward to your results, I've got a freezer full of chewy's base which tastes nice, but I've not cooked a curry with it yet.

Is it going to be a Madras test curry MA? Think this is my standard testing curry of choice followed by a korma, if they both pass then it's a another keeper :)
I'm not a sweet curry fan but still appreciate the flavour of a BIR korma, also the need to keep the Wife Happy  :P

Jesus Christ on a cross littlechilie!

How can you not be a sweet curry fan and yet promote the disgustingly sweet (to the point of nausea) BIR korma as one of your reference points? :o

Morning all, blended the base earlier this morning , brought back up to heat, it tasted ok nothing special really, or should I say nothing more special than your normal base.
I then fried the garlic, added garlic and oil to base , added half ladle base to the garlic pan and sizzled and de-glazed and added back to base. The smell was becoming more BIR , a little taste and it was improving a little. Brought the base upto boil for a few minutes and turned down and left it on a very gentle simmer , as I kept popping into the kitchen the aroma was getting stronger , the flavour was improving .
 After 1 hour simmering turned off heat had a taste, wow , bloody lovely, definately has something other bases havent.
 Is it the best base I have made ? possibly
 Is it as good as the restaurant bases I have tasted? Possibly.

 I will not say this is the one, eureka, goldilocks moment or anything else about the base until I have done some tests on it. But what I will say is it is bloody lovely and very very promising!!!!

Thankyou Jb for sharing this , I am really looking forward to anything else that surfaces from your takeaway experience, cheers :)

Morning lc, as I made a 1.5kg version instead of the full 3kg version I used 1 small garlic clove which I put through a garlic press then added to 1 chef spoon of hot oil and fried for a minute or so until browned, stiring all the time.
