Good to read that you have had positive results from your trial of this base Jimmy. When you first posted the recipe i looked at it and thought there was nothing new or different other than the inclusion of the sugar, the use of mustard oil and that it was quite heavily spiced for a base

. Will be interesting to hear how you get on with CA's ceylon tonight. I suppose a real test would be to make a couple of your normal curries using your normal base of choice and do the same using this base. That would give a better comparison and would determine whether we could in fact move one step further on

. I can hear the purists now - if they don't use it in kitchens then neither should we !!!!! But at the end of the day we are after trying to emulate the taste of BIR dishes and we are at a disadvantage trying to do it at home, so in my book, anything goes providing the taste is right ;D ;D
