Topic: Anyone tried Julian's base yet?

Sorry for my feedback on the recipe being so delayed.  Anyway, last night I warmed gently my second phall made with Julian

CH, i have to ask you what you're using for an apostrophe?
Are you using the one with that doubles up with the  @ symbol on the keyboard which is the correct one.
Been meaning to ask for months 

[curryhell]

Strange question DP but for an apostrophe the one that doubles with the @ key.  For quotation marks the one that doubles with the 2 key.  Why?? ;D

[DalPuri]

Is it only me that see's your posts like this? 




This is a screenshot by the way just to show what's replacing the apostrophe's.

you been on that homebrew again DP.  I hear specsaver have a good offer on at the moment.  Mmm, interesting though.  Maybe others can comment.  When i view  and preview my posts they appear fine.  They also appear fine on my work laptop as well.  Very strange.  That doesn't alter my current curry dilema though   ;D

Nice detailed Post CH and sorry you didn't get a good result. I think the same thing has happened to me whereby adding more (oily) base and reducing just made the curry oilier but without the body of the sauce forming. I mean I like an oily curry but there is a limit.

Since the whole Fleet 5 episode I've re-evaluated my position on making curries, changed my kit from wok and spatula to ally pan and chef spoon and I've had a few disasters and lost my curry mojo along the way
In particular my consistency has weakened.

Over the weekend I used the last of CA's simple base and started a simple vegetable curry with a few tablespoons of virgin coconut oil. The result was unexpectedly delicious and my wife and I were purring away as we ate it.

Nobody said this would be easy

BTW I see the funny characters in your last post as well as Dalpuri.

I'm so disappointed that the initial results on this base are just ok,I really thought this was going to be it,why the sauce won't thicken is a mystery.I'd still like someone who lives near Julian's place to try a selection of his food,at least we can work out what we're aiming for.

No homebrew for me Curryhell but I see exactly the same thing as Dalpuri,noticed it a while ago on some of your posts apologies I should have said something.I use the same keys as you described so I have no idea why your posts look a bit strange.

My last curry was your NIS CH with julians base and was well impressed, perfection for me. I'm trying a jalfrezi tomorrow night so will see how that goes.

I see funny symbols on your posts too

hi ch sorry to hear u had bad results wiv julians base but if you remove the oil and continue to reduce lol until you get desired consistency? alternative i have a leccy knob and hate it with a passion! i would rather use my 10 pounds gas camping stove it only throws out 2kws but will more than do the job in half the time the knob will and you can control the temperature at the touch of the knob LOL! and the other plus is that you can do what the takeaways put down newspaper to save on the mess over your hob.

So not only has the bloody gravy gone to pot, so has the f*****g keyboard  ;D
Sorry about my funny characters gents. but you'll just have to learn to live with them for now.  I will investigate and try and rectify.
Thanks for the crumbs of comfort Paul.  Its (left the apostrophe out on purpose before anybody complains about my grammar) not only me that has this problem with oily bases then?   I feel so much better already :.  Appearance wise everything about the first curry was right.  It just refused to thicken
