Still scared of the cocoanut  in the base

I am very interested in making a batch but it includes  my pet hate coconut the taste, texture :+o(   would it make a big difference to exclude  ?

I have about 2 litres of frozen base just wondering if a made a few main dishes using the base is it safe to freeze the meals ?

  I had to cancel todays feast due to spending 30 hours in bed trying beat a flu bug

I have a load of base left will probably thin it out a little, the dish was improvised bhuna but most of the TA,s and BIR,s around my area seem to serve a thickish sauce but mine needs a little tinkering a little to heavy on the garlic

OK here is my effort start to finish

To tell you the truth we dont own a microwave at the moment the last one went pop and we never replaced it the base mix is all blended now, taste a little garlicky but otherwise sound so now we are choosing a dish to try out

Update making my first base stock following CA,s oopps first boo boobed put in 3 tablespoons of spice mix instead of 3 teaspoons but managed to scrap it out in time before I stirred it in  .

Ok I have the family coming NYD and I have decided to cook a Indian-fest a couple of traditional Indian recipes which I have made in the past along with a few BIR,s the TIR,s is the easy part all cooked in a big pot but not too sure whether to cook the BIR,s in advance and just warm up or to cook when guests are here ? BTW I am cooking my first  BIR base tomorrow will let you know how I get on .

I have come across this vid but not had time to try it plus I had to make a order to stock up on my spice cupboard http://showmethecurry.com/odds-ends/homemade-curry-powder.html
