Howdy,

Ive got a couple of pics of my base sauce from yesterday. It's CA's sauce using his spice mix.

I've also got a couple of questions about his madras 

Do i need to use his spiced oil or not?

If im making the madras for 6 people this weekend, should i do it in one pot at the same time, or is it better to follow the recipe and do it in 3 smaller batches?

Pre-blending base sauce....



Base sauce after blending....


All tubbed up - 5 300ml portions for freezing and one ice cream tub with 900ml in it for this weekend.

Hi all,

I'm new here and have just bought a shed load of spices online as I am planning to make my first BIR curry this weekend using one of the great recipes on here. (CA's madras)

I was wondering what you guys use to store your spices. I'm thinking just normal jam jars will suffice but wondered if anyone used anything specific and for any reason. I quite like the terrine jars - does anyone know of the cheapest place to get them?

Ta muchly
