here is the first curry i made with this base sauce

for the curry i used BE spice mix, i then added a mix of crushed chillies, cayene pepper, chilli powder, onion, ginger/garlic. with a dash of passata.

i also made some pilau rice, i use the recipe here

i add the optional curry leaves and star anise. This rice reciepe is superb, after only 4 attempts im very happy with my results. i add turmeric to the water i boil the rice in, this gives a lovley yellow colour, just half a teaspoon is enough. This reciepe gives rice as good as any restaurant ive ever been to, and ive eating about 2 curries a week for 20 years from all over the country. The rice i dont now need to keep looking at the recipe, which saves time and is nice to feel im progressing.

The curry tasted great, my best attempt yet, even though its only my 4th crack at it ive got it down to a nice taste i enjoy, and not far off the taste of a BIR one.

Im happy with the base reciepe which is why i made a new batch the exact same way, though will probably start tweaking things now to find that elusive bir taste.

That looks great. Both the pilau and the Madras. Great job. I can taste it from here!

Hey Jimmy this really does look good to me too. The rice especially looks fluffy and moist.
Nice images too. It's nearly Dinner time over here and not a drop of curry to be had. I guess it's beef stew this evening though I am cooking up Ghanna's Spice Oil.

Nice one. ;D
