Yes, I would certainly make it again. I feel it is a good example of how a base should be done and worth working on for a better end result. I personally liked it and my friends thought it was from a restaurant so that says "wer'e getting there"! However, I have shared this recipe with a few on this site with mixed comment. I agree it misses something but can't put my finger on what. I think it lacks certain spices as the Onion, Garlic, Ginger mix seems right. I will experiment a little. My next project is Bruce Edwards base. This on first glance has a lot more going in the base at the start like Carrot, Celery, Radishes Peppers etc which must lend itself to a base with more "depth".
Interested to hear your comments on the 100 Best Balti book which I also have?
I am typing a lot of the recipes from the book at the minute to share with others and intend posting them on the site soon.
P.S. This book is rare and was on Amazon today at ?193 and is like gold-dust to find. Look after it!
