Hi Curry freak

Thank you for taking the time to have a go at my base, I am pleased your family enjoyed it.

Next time you use the frozen sauce you will enjoy it more, I am the same, if I spend a long time cooking I never enjoy it as much, so now I make it one day and use it the next.

Hi team, I am going to give this a go at the weekend, it seems to have had some good reviews. Was it half a pint of oil? Has anyone who has tried it got a recipe I can use it on?
 
Looks like another Saturday afternoon in the kitchen. Will post...

Cheers all.... ;D

Hi all, cooked this today and the main ingredient you need with this is time. I have spent all afternoon cooking it, But I can say it was well worth it. I started about 1:45pm and finished about 4:45. I just cooked a basic KD style curry and it was very good. The finished base came out a bit on the thick side but rather than add water to the base I added a bit of chicken stock to the curry until I got the right consistency.

Cooked a simple chicken curry tonight using fried onions and spices with this base sauce and was very happy with the result....cheers Onion..

Hi Mike

Thank you for taking the time and effort to give it a go, I really appreciate it when someone goes to the expense not only in time but money as well to try a new recipe and enjoys the result. The pictures are superb.

Thank you

Thanks Onion,  it was a good afternoon in the kitchen and the end result was very good. Prior to freezing I did knock up a pint of chicken stock and added some to get a good consistency without altering the flavour. I cooked a curry the weekend using a recipe from a book I got from the library (50 great Indian curries)and used your base. I always start by frying onions for a least 30Min's. This combined with your base gave me that "chutney" texture I love. I am planning to cook a curry using blended boiled onions instead of fried to see if there is any difference.

    I enjoyed making this base and although it was time consuming is a thumbs up for me. Thanks again........mike  ;D
