Topic: Experienced members base sauce of choice

[Bobby Bhuna]

BTW Bobby.....What makes a member "experienced"?

I started this thread because I wanted to know what admin, mods and seriously long term members were using. I guess it's a little off the topic now...

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't consider myself an experienced member, or even an experienced curry chef... I figured if we knew what the big boys used, maybe it could save us time from trying out crap base sauce recipes...

That said, if a member has experience of using several of the base sauces on the site, then I guess their input is valid too. E.g. I have tried around 5 or 6 bases from this site and could certainly recommend some more than others.

Maybe this thread has the wrong name because if you post your opinion in it, it feels a little arrogant because it looks like you're making out that you are a bit of an expert at curry making... Dilemmas dilemmas...

pmsl I was only joking luv

I'd post a reply meself but I'm far too self conscious now that you've pointed out it's a bit like blowing yer own trumpet

ah bugger it! I'm a huge fan of Darth's base for milder to medium curries and ya can't beat Stew's base for hotter curries, that said, I haven't tried all of the bases yet....but Ifindforu's is next on my list

Which one, I'm aware of several - admins base, admins new base, that chunky chutney looking one in the curry sauce gallery etc... I've tried admins new base.

i've used the KD base for many years. since joining this site i've switched to parker21 (Revised Version - Recipe for onion gravy (curry base sauce) from Rajver in Biddenden). this i find to be quite simply fantastic (have reduced the chilli by 1/3 though to give  more control at final cooking). i intend to make the saffron base next.
