I bought a portion of base sauce from my TA last night.

I was very surprised at the watery consistency, when i tried it i was like spiced water (it tasted nice though). So this is either the sauce they use or they are pulling my leg. (Hope its not the later)

I pressed for a bit of information on how to make madras.  This is where it got confusing.

He said they use lots of veg oil to fry onions with a bit of salt till they start to turn slightly brown around the edges, but the madras has no onions in. So it?s either he is talking about how make the base or use very finely diced onion so by the time the curry is ready the onions have gone.

So tonight i am creating two curry?s using this base and finely diced onions and one using the base i have already made.

Great site,
Tried chewytikka madras lastnight looked the business but just tasted sweet, obviously my technique. I dont have lemon dressing used a lemon instead probarbly that.

Looking forward to trying some more recipes
