AI Summary
The original poster, SoberRat, shared their experience of making a base sauce using just onions, garlic, and turmeric, which they used to create four different curry dishes: Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi, Chicken Bhuna, Chicken Vindaloo, and Mushroom Bhaji. Several community members expressed admiration for the simplicity and effectiveness of the base sauce, with requests for the specific recipes used for the dishes. There was a general consensus that a minimalistic base could lead to more personalized and unique curries, contrasting with more traditional, complex base sauces.

I made a new batch of base at the weekend using 4 medium sized onions. I'm still only using Turmeric as a ground spice and I'm getting some really good results with it. It gave me enough for about 8 curries. I froze 6 portions and used the rest to make these 4 dishes.

Hi SoberRat.

I'm amazed that no one has commented on your efforts here, they look very tasty, I have to say.  Is the base really
just onions, garlic and turmeric?  Sounds too simple but if it works why not.  Particularly liked the look of the Jalfrezi and
Bhuna. Could you please tell me which recipes you used for these as I'd really like to have a go at them.

Thanks

Bob.

Hi soberRat
                      I agree with Bhaji Bob,s comments, the dishes look amazing, Given that they are produced from a base with very little ingredients. Like yourself i am swaying towards your idea of a base sauce with minimal ingredients used purely as a carrier.
My own personal view is that most base sauces here and elsewhere follow the same format of onions,carrot,cabbage,peppers,coriander etc which i tend to think standardises most dishes.
However your approach of a minimalistic base which can be then be adapted by the addition of spices/ingredients relating purely to that particular dish would appear to produce a more individual end product.
A similar approach was used by an award winning chef on a recent TV show as mentioned in previous posts,Britain's best takeaway.
Whereby his base appears to use only used onions and selected spices.
  In keeping with Bob's request, recipes would be most welcome, as would any input from members on this approach to a base sauce.

King regards

Hi any links to what the base used here was and so many of the bases are huge quantities and ideally I would like to make enough for around 6 curries?

End results of this look great!
