Razor , After reading the book  ' Undercover Curry ' the base recipe uses 3/4 of a pot of Onions  :o so I definitely think your on the right track , it also uses Cabbage , Hing , and Spiced Oil ( from the Bhaji cooking pot ) , I've just ordered 400gms Hing for my attempt at making this base .

Yep! I worked in an Indian restaurant (in the States), and I very well remember the large pots of onions. Smelled very, very... mmmmm.

A few weeks ago (it was a few days after I discovered your site), I read that restaurant bases in the UK used to employ just oil, but they were too strong, so standard is water now. I am pretty sure the two restaurants in which I've worked have just used oil ... A ton of it!

Can't say I've ever heard, even anecdotally, of such a technique in BIRs but you're right they would be very strong!

But now you mention it it's what Ray should have done with his base 'paste' that actually turned out as a puree. Should have used oil only.
