Topic: Jb's base sauce

[jb]

The first stage is only about 15 minutes,really it's done when the onions have become soft.The second stage is boiled and then simmered really for as long as you want.This should be when the oil starts coming to the top.The chef told me you can add as much oil as you want,obviously this will give you a much more oily base but more oil for skimming off.

I made the base and I have to say this is real quality
Lovely aroma
As I only have one recipe to go with the base, I decided to make a 1kg onion version
This clearly affects the oil seperation
The base would not give up it's oil
Next time I'll double the oil or make the 2kg base
But seriously folks, this is good stuff
And I like this spice mix too
Thanks JB,  can you give another recipe with the base?
And how do you pre cook chicken?

Have you used any of jb's other recipes with this base, haldi? Tempted to give this one a go.

The coriander, green pepper, salt and turmeric are not mentioned in the instructions in part 1. I presume they go in with everything else the same as the other ingredients - is this correct?

I'm finding it hard to follow where everything is
What other recipes are there?
I'm very interested in his cooking demo recipes too

The most pertinent one is probably the Madras: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4973.0

No worries if you haven't - just curious how well the base and accompanying recipes are being received.

Sorry guys I do check all my posts I missed that.The coriander, green pepper, salt and turmeric all go in at the first stage.Apologies again.Some links to the recipes.....

Thanks so much for the links
Sometimes I miss things
I understand the thinking for splitting every recipe into a logical location, but I think it may be easier if a set of recipes like these, JB's latest new ones, and Panpots Ashoka's were just put all together, in a seperate place as well
They are each, one chefs recipes, and belong together

Couldn't agree more I had trouble myself remembering what I wrote and where I put it!!

I know vindaloo-crazy was considering putting together a PDF detailing recipes grouped by chef. I think the forum should stay as it is, but there needs to be something that provides a convenient reference for what recipes go with what - whether that be a PDF or a forum sticky, I don't know.

Anyway, if you try any of those recipes haldi, let us know how you get on. After I have finished my current batch of Razor's base I will probably be giving this one a go.
