Brown Cardamoms seem to have have a smokey element to them, it may be worth experimenting with a few.

Hi Folks,
Lidl are doing this oil at 0.99p for 500ml, I have being buying this from Aldi for 1.99, previously at Tesco for almost double that, it's definitely a bargin.
Better for us than most other oils.

How many chef spoons do you think Chewy's pan has seen off ?  :)

I reckon it's seen a lot of curries off as well, either that or it's been part of Vic and Bob's stage act for a couple of years.

I wanted to try something different for a change, having read loads of posts about base sauces this one intrigued me.
Made the base Thursday night, blitzed on Friday and final cooking. Also made the precooked chicken, although I cooked it for about half the time the book recommends.
I cooked the Dil Cognac for my wife and the Vindaloo for me, best curries I have ever made. I am a Vindaloo fan and have been adding a teaspoon of vinegar to try and replicate the authentic taste, the taste is in this curry, there is a hint in the background, very impressed. I can only think it can come from the red sauce which has what will amount to about one eighth of  a teaspoon of Pataks Tandoori paste.
Can't wait to have a go at a other one.
Cheers guys
