Wow! :o Where did all this come from? Were you in there UB? Oh, I see it's panpots visit, as I thought it might be. Awesome. So many of the fabled and seemingly impractical ingredients are present. It just goes to show.

The degghi is a real surprise for me. It never did me any good. I obviously just don't know how to use it properly.

Excellent work PP  8)

Just to clarify please...

- is the red oily stuff (in photo 5) reclaimed oil?

- is the creamy yellow stuff (in photo 6) the ginger/garlic paste?

- is the onion paste just to the right of the creamy yellow stuff (in photo 6)?

- what is the chopped green stuff (in front on photo 8 )...spring onions?

- and fenugreek seeds (back left in photo 8 )?

I will try this base, garlic/ginger paste and onion paste out soon and let you know how I got on.

Thanks again PP, a sterling effort and much appreciated  8)

That's definitely whole cumin in the base with the onions.

That gave me a real problem when I tried it.

Panpot - did he say you could substitute with ground?

Great post!

Josh,

i used the seed but ground it in my coffee grinder before adding to the base.

Bobby,

the base does give the impression of being thickish - it's not - it must be down to the marg effect.

base looks just like mine - not to brag of course ;D
