My first week here
« on: January 27, 2010, 03:40 PM »
Wow, what a week, and it's not over yet!

On Thursday I made my first base sauce using the BE recipe. I didn't have enough onions or a big enough pan, so I made 2/3rds the specified amount. So I ended up with one normal large saucepan of sauce. Since then I've used it for the following:

Friday night: Chicken Madras & mushroom bhaji
Saturday night: plain quick veggie curry for 2 before going out.
Monday lunch: Lamb Korma
Monday night: Chicken Methi for 2 & mushroom bhaji
Tuesday: Vegetable Vindaloo
Today: lamb korma
Tomorrow: intend to make Chicken Patia.

Now that's what I call a good week of curry! They've all tasted great. I wonder how long it will be before the withdrawal symptoms kick in and I have to make another sauce ;-)

Cheers all, I now have a lot more reading to do, to pick up more tips for next time.

That is impressive! I like the variety of the dishes and veg/non-veg too!
I think you're going to enjoy this site.  :) If you've good results already you're going to be alright!
Take all advice with a pinch of salt would be my advice. Everyone has different problems which are often specific to them so take advice on board but remember it might not be relevant to you.
Straight-up comparisons with a takeaway curry is a no-nonsense approach.
