Thanks Ray,

Think I'll ditch this Knorr stuff, & nip to the Asian supermarket on my way home, & get some Rajah's brand all purpose. That way the recipe's by the book then.

The onion's Garlic, & Ginger smell lovely as they are, can't wait to get the rest of the ingredients in there.
Just found your Madras recipe, may give that a go too over the weekend.

Thanks for taking the time to post this for me Ray.
Such a pity we can never be friends, you being a Man U fan ;D

Have a good weekend.

Hi CArl,

Good luck and looking forward to your thoughts.

Such a pity we can never be friends, you being a Man U fan

A very very good friend of mine is actually a Leeds fan (even though he is a manc) and a season ticket holder.  When we were kids, he was a liverpool fan? Funny enough, that changed around about 1992..........wonder why ;D

Any, we call him daft Lee, nuff sed lol ;D

Have a good weekend matey,

Ray

Hello Razor,

As promised, some feed back.

I finished your base sauce recipe off on Friday night when I got home.
I left it over night, & made a Madras curry on Saturday.

I used your spice mix, & CA's method.

Got to be honest my friend, it was the dog's b-ll-cks, best I have had yet.
So close to my favourite resteraunt curry.
Marks out of 10, gonna give you a 8.5.

I really will try to get some photo's done, & get them posted.

Thankyou for taking the time to post the recipe.

CArl...

PS you were lucky at the weekend (Man U)

Hi CArl,

Very grateful for the kind comments, and glad that it worked for you.

I'm finally getting my but to the grocery store. I don't have/use kitchen scales. Can you please give me a rough estimate of the measurements that you weigh in some other terms. For example, about how many tennis ball-sized onions should I use? If this has been addressed already, I'm sorry. I will scroll through the entire eleven pages now...

This base looks good and like something I can picture in an American Indian restaurant.

I hate to be less than helpful, but do you not think it might be worth borrowing a set of scales, just so that you can do your own weight-to-volume conversions once and for all ?  You could then set aside large marked bowls, each calibrated for a different ingredient, and then just fill the relevant one up to the appropriate level whenever you needed that quantity of whatever in the future ...

** Phil (who thought that the world had come to an end when his wife admitted to dropping the electronic kitchen scales and not telling him, after which he had to press his precious postal scales into service until such time as SWDTS had replaced them ...).

Hi TT,

Can you please give me a rough estimate of the measurements that you weigh in some other terms. For example, about how many tennis ball-sized onions should I use?

I usually use about 3-4 "softball" size ones ;D  I would gues at about 8-10 tennis ball size ones should do it but have never really counted them to be honest

This base looks good and like something I can picture in an American Indian restaurant.

  How very dare you fair maiden?  ;D ;D ;D Only kidding, I'll take it as a compliment
