See attached the pictures of both the sauce and also a curry I made out of it.

The sauce made just over 2l worth and I made a generic chicken curry.

Loads of oil
Pre-cooked chicken
2 ladles of basic sauce as above post
3 x tsp supreme curry powder
2 x tsp garlic puree
2 tbsp tomato paste
tbsp grated almond
juice of half a lemon
chili powder
pinch fenugreek leaves
tbsp tesco's caramelised red onion chutney ('secret ingredient') ??!

Curry was very generic tasting as you'd expect, but very sweet.  It was a little on the rich side and maybe slightly over spiced so I may need to water down the base or add some water to the final dish.  Any tips gratefully appreciated.

Can't wait to try it using a proper madras, rogan josh or CTM recipe!

CA's base a very good base and gives very good results with many of the recipes i've tried from here.  Although you have altered the base quite a bit i'm sure it will deliver you with a good bir style dish when used with CRO recipes.  Your curry looks rich and with the addition of peppers and onions could almost pass for a bhuna.  Did it taste anything like what you've had from a BIR?  If not stick exactly to a recipe you choose for the first time and then start to tamper with it and hone it till you get to what you are used to eating from your own BIR.  Glad you're having success. Enjoy the experimenting  ;D
