Topic: Mr. Withergees base

[petespot]

 I only ever use this base now,
 
 2 red onions
 2 brown onions
 1 small red pepper
 2 small new potatoes, or a small piece of potato
 1 tbsp. tomato puree
 half a big bunch of coriander, stalks end
 half tbsp. salt
 250 ml sunflower oil
 500 ml water.
 
 Chop everything up and slow boil for 30 minutes no need to cover.

 Now add

 2 Tbsp turmeric
 1 Tbsp paprika
 1 Tbsp coriander powder
 1 Tbsp cumin powder
 1 Tbsp garam masala

 Mix well and simmer for 30 minutes

 Allow to cool and then blend.

Good for you, Petespot......I'm pleased you're getting success with the base.  Can I ask how you arrived at this recipe?  What is it that convinces you to use this base above all others?  Have you tried other bases - and if so how does yours compare?  What benefits do you get from it?
Sorry for the questions, but a bit of background and reasoning might help forum members decide whether to give it a try.
Best

Hi, I have tried a lot of bases including Julian Voigt, Darth Phal, Als kitchen, KD,etc. etc. I have messed around with them as well. I have tried a pressure cooker and experimented in all sorts of ways.I wanted to do a small number of portions and tried Woodpecker21 base from Rajver in Biddenden ( on this forum ).I was impressed with it and I then tweaked it.I use this base in conjunction with a pre boiled fry mix I have also posted this is 2 onions half green pepper garlic and ginger.I only use Djuparaja1 mix powder and also fresh chillies in most curries.
 Kind regards Peter.
