Hi YMD,

It's a good question and has been asked many times before.  Me personally, I would cook the three portions separately, and add them together when reheating.

Others will say that you can up the ingredients x 3.  I guess it's what you're comfortable with really.  I don't up the ingredients because I fail to get consistency if I do it this way.

Not much help I'm afraid :(

Hi YMD

I wouldn't worry too much about your base being bland, I'm pretty sure that it will be trandformed in your main dish.

In my opinion, the base sauce should be quite bland so it doesn't influence all the various dishes that can be made with it.  As long as your base has a high percent of onions in it, then it should be fine.

Tried this recipe again lastnight with a few tweaks , firstly i doubled everything up because i was making for 2 this seemed to work fine, im also using pataks balti paste which seems good to me, i also use a red pepper instead of a green, mmmm nice n sweet , the chicken tikka i swapped for .....Dipurajas1 keema lamb mix and made lamb balls.....shluurrrppp!!!, i pre fried the lamballs first just to stop them falling apart once added to the curry, while frying they released a lovely spicy lamb fat of which i used 1tbs in the actual curry , for me this was a very indulgent tasting curry the likes of which i shall be making again, give it a go see what you think.

Made this with Dipuraja's base on several occasions and it's one of the best recipes I have.

The middle dish is the Balti.  The others are Korma and Chasni.

Sounds like you're having fun with Dip's base and subsequent dishes?  I've actually done this myself, used minced lamb and made a 'kofta curry'.  It really does make a pleasant change from the usual meat or chicken.

Well done mate,

Ray :)

Bumping an old thread I know but tried this out last night with turkey for fun and it was a 5 star killer. Instead of adding the balti paste to the curry I skewered the meat and added half of it to the marinade to see what happened. Great victory ensued. Thank you for posting.
