Topic: new complete base

[stevejet66]

This week i will be attempting what im looking for regards bir gravy, i have a new approach im hoping will work, it maybe a case someone as already done it, but!with regards to curry hells post of flavoured oils i think is a superb idea, i know once we had ran out of oil to fry some eggs so we pinched some from the chip frier, you could tell they did taste different done in chip oil, PROVES A BIG POINT! my ingrediants for the base will change a fair bit to the standard ton of onoins/garlic/ginger used,  my first approach will be to fry onoin/g pepper for a while then add fresh cut tomatoes at the end, (this pre cooked mix is used anyway to add to dish like bhunas etc), the oil then i will strain and save for my next step of making the base. another step will be to boil a big bunch of chopped corriandor and use the water for the base,

All i can do is go for it and if i find its good i'll post the recipe on here for you to have a bash at.
stay tuned.

Think this may have been Haldi rather than me Steve.  He is a firm believer that it "is all in the oil".  I remain open minded currently until i'm convinced some hard evidence ;D. 
Good luck with exploring this avenue and look forward to hearing the results.  May be worth having a look at the work done by JerryM on spiced oil.  Natterjak also posted a recipe for spiced oil the other week which may help or be of interest.

Good luck with the experiments Steve.  Echo you will find a lot of information/speculation on here re flavoured/spiced/seasoned oil in bases, and added to the main dish.  There are quite a few good general videos of actual bir kitchens as well.  This one of Chicken Jafflong prep is rather nice:
