I have finally managed to put together most of what I need after reading many many of these threads. I have found a nice Indian supermarket a couple of miles away so all the ingredients are now easily at hand, and a damned sight cheaper than the likes of Asda etc ;D. This week managed to put it all together and give it a try. Not one for "hot" curries and with having to work out what the kids like this week :

i decided to try out a CTM.
I made Bruce's base

http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=539.0All in all it went very well, although time consuming as I've only really done a roast or chips and something before

I really enjoyed getting stuck in to preparing and making everything. Everyone thought that the time was well spent as all loved the result.
The only real problem I found was CK's 3 ladles of base. From what I see from the recipe the base makes up the bulk of the sauce. The Ladle I have is only small, about 3 Tbl, so 3 of these I thought small. With that in mind I froze the base in batches of 8 of these about 24 Tbl. The finished result using all the base was, I thought, of an adequate size for 3 (had to stretch it out to 4). I shall be making it again this Wednesday for 6, so Ill just do the same again twice.
I am looking at increasing the base by a third to make 4 meals. So a question if I may. Will increasing the base this much be detrimental to the overall taste of the dish?
But all in all I have to say many thanks to all here its a real eye opener to what you can produce.
