Topic: Keep it simple

[emin-j]

emin-j I am Glad the Admin's Base is working for you.

I moved onto the Ashoka base but perhaps its time to retry this one again.

I think subtle spicing is the key, the issue is that working with spices is an art form and take years to undertand how to release them properly.  There are just so many variables when using spices thats its easy to get things wrong.

How many time have you made the exact same curry and one time its amazing and the next rubbish?  This is down to variables, heat, spicing, the way ingrediants are chopped, how much water you add etc.

Admin , Yes love the simple ingredients and method of this one and the Madras that followed was fantastic  ;D Going back to the variables in Spicing terms , I cant quite understand how it appears  the Chef's I have watched seem to put a LOT more Spice ( using the Chef's spoon it looks like 3 tsp of each  ) into a single serving than I ever do and more than most of the recipes on the forum ! The sNs recipe I currently use is only 1/2 a tsp of some of the Spices and I have never seen a Chef pick up that amount on his spoon
