Topic: New Base Sauce Recipe -

[fumble]

I used the Kushi Jalfrezi one, sort of. Added a green pepper and a couple of tomatoes and used more chillis (about 10 I think).

Hi fumble,  nice pictures. I know what you mean about the KD base pong    That smell was in the house for days. This is my favourite so far. Nice clean cooker by the way..

 ;D That's because I had the lid on the pot all the time the sauce was cooking!

Had a second batch of the Jalfrezi today, and I have to say it tastes almost exactly the same and is the same consistency as my local takeaway. Maybe I've been lucky, but I don't think so. I'm convinced this is authentic, as I just can't see why any BIR would use all manner of things in a base when a simpler (and hence cheaper) set of ingredients makes the taste.

Hi fumble,  I 100% agree with you on the simple cheap base point. What recipe did you use for your Jalfrezi? ....mike. ;D

I'm a lurker on these boards but I read it regularly and try out some of the recipes, but I feel compelled to post a message as I've just made a fantastic curry using this base sauce  ;D  If I'd been served it at a restaurant I would have been more than happy - in fact it was better than some curries I've had from restaurants.  And I must say a big thanks to Cory Ander who's madras/vindaloo/phal recipe I used with the base, and also his naan bread recipe (which aren't far off restaurant naans and a lot better than the pre-packed ones you get in supermarkets).

When I was making the base at the weekend it smelled much like KD and Darth's base but it did have a bit of 'the smell' about it.  I was encouraged, though, when one of my mates popped round while I was cooking it and said my house smelled like a proper Indians so I knew I must be on the right track    Cheers again!

Hi Fumble, nice looking base and I agree with Mike Travis, nice clean cooker you have there!

I would reccomend making a Bhuna from this base using Curry Kings recipe, here is the link;
