yes i know,cant remember where i got this recipe,but it was on here somewhere,i dont think al be making that one again,sure is basic.its in the pot just now.think i will need to add more spices to it.the base i normally make is the one with the 8 onions in it and oil,carrot,green pepper,tomato puree,plum tomatoes,garlic and ginger puree,cumin,coriander,turmeric,salt,garam masala optional.i got this base perfectly,this sure is my favourite.i make my own spice mix up too.cheers
