Could someone give a rough estimate for the "some water" part of the recipe - how much water is added to this base? 

The only liquids I can see are the tin of toms and 1/2 cup of oil - yet people seem to be getting 5x250ml portions out of it! What am I missing?

i think that you add just enough water or stock to keep the gravy fairly runny like soup

Hi pH

Just add enough water to keep the sauce to a soup-like consistency, I like my soup like I like my men (a bit on the thicker side lol).

@Woks Up....I only go shoe shopping at the bondage warehouse ;D Are ya sure you wanna join me? I might make you try on an outfit or three although I dunno if you'd be able to totter about in my 8" spiked heels

Hi 
I made this curry base yesterday, I modified it marginally, I used 10 cloves of garlic and 2 teaspoons of chili powder because I prefer it milder, and it tastes very good, I simmered the onions for about 1 hour,(they were just nicely tanned  ;D) pureed them with the garlic and ginger (instead of tinned tomatoes I used a 500G carton of passata) and returned the lot to the pan, fried gently for another half hour, added the spices and gently fried for nearly 4 hours, (adding water occasionally) (but the oil didn't appear on top), I ended up with a dark orange soup like consistency, and could have eaten it straight away it was that good, but I cooled it down and put it in the fridge, will make something tomorrow and freeze the rest, I want to thank all of you for this recipe, and indeed many of the other ones I've seen, I've only just found this site and have already spent a good few hours perusing the postings and recipes,

Hi San,  welcome to cr0. The first time I did this base I fried the onions for about half an hour and it turned out a dark brown but no oil. The second time I fried the onions for at least an hour and ended up with an orange soup. Both made very good curries.  ;D Glad you found us...Happy cooking.
