Hi SteveMac555

Well done on producing such a good looking base and curry on your first attempt!

I know for a fact that my first efforts looked no where as good as yours!

Thanks for posting the pictures too.

Loads of time and plenty of sound advice to be found in the forum  .  You'll soon  be cooking dishes as good as your local BIR  ;D.   As for the rice,  go and look at the the threads here and your rice will be sorted instantaneously!!!

Try mine or somebody elses.  You won't be disappointed  ;D.  Keep us posted on how you get on along with some pics.

Hi Curryhell

Thank you! - I've just printed out some of the recipes from that part of the forum (yours included) and will let you know how I get on with them.

Hi solarsplace

Thank you! - I wasn't too sure what to expect with the first one, but now that I've done my first I am looking what to make for the second. I am thinking a Korma, but might end up making something hot instead, who knows

I am also looking for a good alternative curry base to make for the second batch in a few weeks time, not that the CA base isn't good (it's actually very easy to make and produces good results), but I would like to try out some others and mix things up a bit.

There are some very good bases on here .  The latest to be added  is Abdul's which has had some good reviews.  This thread contains it along with some of his recipes.  A good read with some good results too

That looks good. Your base in the pot turned out with that classic red oil on top. Didn't get this when I made it:

Although, uour freezer portions look like mine.

Did you use CA's spice oil in the base?

That looks good. Your base in the pot turned out with that classic red oil on top. Didn't get this when I made it:

Some bases are reluctant to give up their oil that's not to say that the final dish will not be just as tasty though .  CA's base is one that doesn't have huge quantities of oil in it unlike some others (Taz's Base). You could always try cooking the base for a little longer to see if it will give up its oil.  The end result looks spot on when compared to CA's pics and what i've produced .  I'm sure you'll be happy with the finnished curry too. Enjoy
