Topic: Why we cannot produce that missing taste ?

But Guys!  I said I believe (know) it IS obtainable at home!  ;D 

Hi Cory Ander,
do you say this because you have achieved it yourself or you have seen someone else do it? Whichever, it gives us all hope

I think a few of us have made that perfect curry with the "taste", I have myself but it's actually nailing it down and reproducing it every time.  I thought I had cracked it with the simple base and final curry method I had been shown but the next time I made it the results were not the same.  I wish at the time I had videoed the demo so I could have looked back now and see if I missed anything, the recipe was so simple though it must be down to the method.  Stews new base has given me a great result so I'm hoping I can get it spot on with some experimentation.  I'm sure a lot of the curry's I do make are of a restaurant quality but it's convincing myself that it is

Thats the trouble. Other people always give my curry's the thumbs up but i'm never satisfied with the results myself.

Curry King, do you have the recipe for the lamb bhuna you made using Admins new base?  I am going to try and make it this afternoon.  Do you think this is the best curry you have made to date?

Thanks CK.

Recipe is here:

One of the best to date without a doubt although using my usual base this curry is still a winner.

Curry King, you are a star.  I will let you know how I get on and try and post some pictures if I can.

Thanks.

Yeah, any feedback is most welcome

Curry King, the new base states in step 4;  "4. Blend onions with 1 tin toms, garlic bulbs, ginger & some water until become a puree / has a soup like texture."

Do you add the garlic and ginger raw?

[Curry King]

I blended the G&G with a little water first then added it as I needed some more puree for final currys but it was raw.

CK, I have made your Bhuna using Admins new base and it was superb.  I have had so many failures lately, I thought it would be impossible to get close to a BIR curry.  But your Bhuna coupled with the new base is very, very close to the real thing and must be one of the best on this site. 

It would possibly benefit from chicken stock and I made an adjustment at the end of cooking the Bhuna by adding some rose water and this gave it a real exotic taste. 

Many thanks CK,
