hello,
this is my first attempt at making a BIR type dish and so the first step would be to cook a base (which i just did).
i have, so far, successfully made traditional indian dishes (have to say i was pretty surprised when i found out how was curries being done in UK).
i followed CA's base sauce, but not the specs, i allowed myself some artistic freedom in terms of amount of oil used (used olive and not so much, i started eating traditional indian in the first place cause of health issues and indian can be done with very little oil and is generally healthy food - most of the BIR recipes i've seen here, on the other hand, don't seem to be that healthy
).
now, the smell is okish, reminds of a light curry, but the tase is rather bland. just by tastign it, i cannot single out a single vegetable (except maybe carrots come to mind, i used 2). i wouldn't want to eat this on its own, that's for sure.
now, i've read somewhere that this is ok for base to taste bland, but i wonder how can this result in a good curry?
