Topic: Daag curry base: the most useful curry recipe you'll ever read

[Stu-pot]

I've seen this kind of traditional/ base sauce idea mentioned in a couple of places. It seems like a strange idea, why not just make a traditional curry for 8 or more, then freeze it. I can't see what time you gain, unless you're short on freezer space. Not convinced its not just a new way of seperating fools from their money  .

Me too.  I've used a very similar & traditional method to make curries for years.   It's always the same:

Fry Onions
Add G & G
Add powdered spices
Add Toms
Add little water from time to time to avoid catching/burning

But what I wanted to share is: since finding this site in January 2015 and being introduced to BIR, PRE-cooked Chicken etc... I have used this paste to make my pre-cooked Chicken.
I've simply taken the above, added approx 1 litre water & 1 litre Garabi, brought upto the boil and added the marinated Chicken. The result is amazing when I've used the Chicken & some of the sauce in my curries.

As you say Fried, why not just use as a curry as it already is and just freeze it.

Here's a picture of exactly what we're talking about taken a couple of years ago.

But got to say it goes well for the pre-cooked Chicken in a BIR STYLE and to spoon some into your almost finished curries....

I recon this book will be same ol same ol....  Lol - Give me your money!

Have you checked out 'handi' precooks or 'viceroy precooked chicken'?

The recipes are very similiar, but without the onion. It certainly gets a certain taste into your food.

Nope. Is 'Handi' the packet name of a brand called Shan.  -    I'm guessing Viceroy is the 'Indian Restaurant.com' YouTube guys?

Yeah, the viceroy stuff is on youtube, 'handi' recipes are very similiar, I believe the name comes from the pot it's cooked in, I could be wrong. Your photo looks pretty much the same.
