Curry Sauce, Curry Base , Curry Gravy Recipes, Secret Curry Base / Re: SnS's Base Gravy June 2008

I to will be doing this base + madras as my first attempt. I'm not really trying to reproduce the BIR taste because I'm from Switzerland and there is no such thing over here
Mainly trying to cook a good curry for me and my GF.
The only thing I'm a bit sad about is that, I've been looking around but getting my hands on Rajah Madras Curry (Mild) and Kashmiri Mirch will be really hard. Looked a bit around the net and spice of india charges 35? in shipping only to Switzerland
I guess I'll have to replace the Mirch with Paprika and the Madras Curry will be whatever brand I find here.
I already planned everything but I'll be moving house next week, so I'll probably will be testing that later. I'll keep you guys informed of how it goes and of course i'll certainly ask plenty advice
EDIT: While I'm at it, in the base recipe it is said :
Liquidise thoroughly (at least 5 minutes). My english is not really good, does liquidize means blending with a mixer?

I noticed that your recipe contains these ingredients:
0.5 tsp kashmiri mirch
some dried methi
I could not find them in the glossary and I don't know what it is. Could you help ?
2.65l will make about 10 single sized portions of curry
kashmiri mirch is just mild brightly red coloured chilli powder. Paprika is a suitable substitute
dried methi is dried fenugreek leaves https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=2432.0
Thank you Roti.
One portion is basically one ladle?
I guess it will be hard for me to find Kashmiri in Switzerland, there is no indian grocer around here I think, I'll have a look though. Thanks for the advice.

Trainee Chefs / Beginners Questions / How do I make a minimal amount of curry base?
January 28, 2009, 09:08 AM
Hi all,
I know this forum since a moment but I never posted before.
I'm new to cooking and I'd like to make a curry following your awesome recipes.
I looked at the bases, and I noticed that a lot of them make like 2 or 4 liters of it, but being new I wouldn't waste all that if I failed. Also I'm not sure I have a big enough pan :p
Could maybe anyone point me in the direction of a base that does not produce too much of it? Because we are only two in my house and I wouldn't want to have too much of the stuff if I fail
Hope you guys can help.

Hi, I'm new to the curry thing, well I do a prawn curry but it is really basic.
I'd like to use your base but I wanted to know how much base that produces? Do I have to make the base and then save a part and put to the freezer?
Hope you can help
