Topic: Sweetness to balance the flavour of a dish - how to achieve it?

[Terramamba]

I used whole onions (never have before) in my base. Sweet and creamy was the result. 

Overall cooking time 3 hours.

Hi Natterjak,

Have you tried chewey's 3 hour base ?
http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5606.0

I use 3k of ALDI onions, 1 very large green pepper
and less water, follow as per cheweys video.

I have also used 2 large Table spoons of Bassar mix (an emergency) instead
of spice mix with good results :-)

Anyway give it a try and let us know how you get on.
Its a mild curry on its own (Bassar mix version) you can pop a skinned chicken
in the base if you want, remove when cooked, but that's another story

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I will use chewy's base next time as I've become convinced he is correct about the value of a 2nd cooking post blending.
