Hey bobby, im going to have a go at making this in the week, only ever made one other base before ( bruce's one ) i got slightly lost reading through this thread, would you say that if i stick to your orig first post this will give me a good base?

Im going to use it with the lamb bhuna here : http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1914.0 :

ut i presume that this could be used with most recipe's on here.

Thanks

Hey Skaze, to be honest, I wouldn't make this. It's pretty good but just another of my experimental numbers. There are many better base recipes on the site. Try and find more of a finished product, than my random experimental bases.

That said, I do think this will give you a good base if you just stick to the recipe. I highly recommend CKs Lamb Bhuna. It's one of my all time favourites.

Cheers,

BB.

Oj fair enough mate, there are that many its quite daunting, this one seems a popular one, would you recomend this:

It's ok, but there are better. Try SnS's June base.

Hey, just had a look through the sns one and it looks and sounds good, the madrass looks nice to, think im going to go with making that one.

Do you use this base when making the bhuna ( http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1914.0 ) aswell.......how much difference will it make using different base's?

Thanks for you help matey.  ;D

Hey Skaze, I just use whatever base I happen to have in the freezer at the time for whatever curry I'm making. As you may have noticed, the ingredients are always fairly similar for most base sauces, give or take.

The majority people on here think there is a threshold that a base has to meet, and thereafter they all produce fairly similar curries. I would go with this, but say that some do certainly work better than others. The SnS base should work really well with this Bhuna recipe. I'm sure I've tried it before.

Cheers,

BB.

Care to quantify that BB? 

There probably is a "threshold", but I doubt that any curry base here meets it (by a fair margin).

Having said that, I'm sure a newbie would be pretty happy with SnS's, Darthphal's, Ifindforu's or Bruce Chapman's curry base.

I'm not sure to which threshold you are referring CA ... perhaps a BIR 1970's threshold?

I've been into the Saffron kitchens on a number of occasions and I can assure you that the base tastes, looks and smells no different to the ones I've produced at home ... so I guess they must meet some sort of threshold ... even if it is a BIR 2008 one!
