Best Base Ever!
« on: October 21, 2011, 12:36 PM »
Some may fiind this sacreligous but its a true story..

Ive tried most bases here and most are decent however..

The best base sauce abd very closest to BIR hesven ive come was when i made a pot of
carrot and coriander soup from a recipe on the BBC Good Food website.

Lovely soup but after a coupla portions i began to think.with half a pot remaining,it wasnt far off colour/texture of a decent bssr gravy.I simply added 2 cups of fresh coriander and a tablespoon if Pataks Madras paste and heated it fir 15 mins.

Hand on heart as a true curry addict it was the best base and curry ive ever made and the closest ive cone to the true BIR flavour.

I sometimes think we might be over-complicating our quests here as a result of this improvised little experiment.

Anyone tried a similiar and less time-consuming approach and had good results?

I agree - the more simplistic the better

I don't think this is surprising - I guess your soup contained, at the very least, onions, carrots and coriander and maybe a bit of garlic. Sounds close to a base to me!
