I followed this thread from its opening. Took me a while to get around to making and testing out with a variety of currys. And the result? It's good, no doubt, but Chewy's remains my number 1.
This one definitely has something different, and that something I've tasted before somewhere (let's say takeaway twang). Not sure what that comes from, possibly the garlic fry. Still, in general it seems to lack the depth of flavour that comes from Chewy's; and I'm not even going to get into the cabbage debate :-X. But I know what I like, and other base sauces have to be tested against it. And it's not just me, guests show more enthusiasm for a curry made with Chewy's base.
All said, a base is just a base, and the curry must be built on it. Perhaps my chosen curry method and spice proportions just happen to sit well with the Chewy base; that's hard to say.
Today was my first curry in several weeks. All came together in a flash; great result. I felt like a chef in an Indian
