Hello all
I had my first go at the Taz base, but instead of the slow cooking for an hour, I put everything in the instant pot and pressure cooked for 40 mins, then used the saut? function to simmer after the addition of the tomatoes. The resulting base is very good.
The first reduction of 200ml I took down to this. I think it?s about right, ending up with similar consistency of the early stages of the more familiar method. It took about 10 mins, not too high heat, as I wanted to really pay attention.
Does this consistency look right?

The final resulting curry was OK, definitely in the ?alright but not quite? category. The base and technique are sound. I messed this up by adding way too much chicken, as was cooking for me and the missis, but was a very passable curry.

Looking forward very much to using the remaining 7 portions in the freezer.
Vindaloo next and sod the missis.
