Here is the finished first stage base gravy.
Bear in mind this is a Phone Camera & the Base should turn out a Golden Yellow.

Ader1, can you post a picture of your Base Gravy ?

[Ader1]

Darthphall,

Sorry, I cannot as I don't have a link from phone to the computer although I do have a camera-phone.  I can say though that it look very much like yours from what I can see.  It is now in the cooling phase......

[DARTHPHALL]

Can you send pictures from your Phone to someones E-mail address,thats how I'm doing it.

[Ader1]

I am will to send picture via phone or e-mail if somebody gives me number or address.  You can PM me if you like.....or whatever......

Here is a picture of Ader1's Base Gravy,he has the same problem as i with regards to the colour reproduction.
But he says that it is the same as mine in that it is a rich Golden Yellow.

The one thing I did different to you Darthphall is I used swartz mild curry powder.  I have family who really cannot stomach even slightly hot curries.  Oh, yes. the next time you cook this base, could you please weigh your 15 onions as to give a better idea of amount to use......Thanks for posting the picture

[DARTHPHALL]

Now that I've made this batch it will be some time before i make another but i did measure the Onions.
I don't think its ultra critical but to help everyone here are the details of the Onions.
They are sold as large loose Onions in Sainsbury's.
The thickness (from Root to Stem) =approximately 80mm. Width = approximately 90mm.
As you can see i get all this 15 Onion base in two average pots,so i do recommend you cook the 15 Onion quantity.
Below is a better quality picture from a post from John,this is the actuall Golden Yellow colour of my base gravy.

OK I've bagged up the Base gravy for freezing.
You should get approximately 7.5 litres of Gravy in total.

I use 1.5 litres per final second stage of the actual Curry making.

This will make (Approximately) 8 Curries (home made size,which is about double a Take-away portion).

So the approximate grand total that this Base Gravy batch will make is 36 home made size Curries or 72 Take-away sized portions.

Please don't get all Furry & take these calculations as written in stone, these are close approximations anyone found taking it to literally will be hacked in half with my favorite Light Saber.? ;D

Respectfully yours the DARK LORD OF THE SITH? .

I've just edited the Passata quantity from 700grams down to 500grams in the second stage.
