Topic: Bruce Edwards Curry Sauce & Basic Curry - From The Man Himself

[Stephen Lindsay]

wow, heat is something I would never have associated with this base at all and have made Kormas with it on several occasions. I find it does taste quite mild and sweet also. I take on board what you are saying about Razor's base having deeper flavour though.

I just hit this again today, after not knocking up a base in some time. I went to the Indian cash and carry and replaced all my ageing spices with new ones. What a delicious result!

The bad thing about forums is that quality content gets lost in day to day discussion. I see this thread hasn't been posted in for "at least 120 days". This has to be one of the best bases for someone starting off as it's so well explained, and delivers great results. This is one of those bases I'll always revisit.

Certainly have not tried the base and I don't think i've read the thread either . Don't know how i missed this one .  That'll give me something to do later on ;D

Was planning  to do ifindforu's base next, followed by the saffron.  I'll add this one next.  Think i'm going to be doing a lot of curry eating ;D ;D

Welcome aboard Karenc.  Here's the spice mix.  Just add  put stated quantities into a container with a lid. Give it a good shake -  done

EDIT - in case it's not obvious, depending how much you want a part is whatever unit of measure you wish to use. I would use a  level teaspoon.  This will give you just over 9 tbsp of mix, enough for the base with mix left for future curry cooking using the base ;D.  Let us know how it goes with a pic if possible.  Good luck

The Bruce Edwards spice mix recipe is:

8 parts coriander powder
7 parts tumeric powder
5 parts cumin powder
4 parts curry powder
4 parts paprika (optional)

If its the curry power component of the mix you are asking about, most just use a commercial product. Rajah Gold, TRS and East End seem to be popular. The Rajah seems to be the most recommended.
