I had a go and made this last night, it is my first attempt at a base sauce.
After blending I got a dull yellow coloured soup, a similar colour to a tin of Homepride curry or a chinese takeaway curry, does that sound about right?
I made it exactly to the recipe, no changes at all, and measured the spices using proper measuring spoons.
On it's own the sauce does not taste like a curry, it is quite sweet and the predominant taste is of coriander. I guess that could be about right as it is only one ingredient of the final curry, any opinions highly welcomed.
Now I have to find a final recipe to try. I thought I might go for the Bruce Edwards spice mix first with a little garlic/ginger at the start of cooking, again, any opinions highly welcomed.
Cheers
Tom
