i like the idea of starting with a base, we need a cast iron genuine starting point to then build our curry on top of. Perhaps we even have good authentic bases here just our lack of knowledge of how to turn that base into a curry tends to make many try a new one then another new one when all the time they had the correct starting point to work with.
Maybe we should all just agree on a base, have a full blown discussion and gather all resources and knowledge, then if everyone kept strictly to this base then we can then work towards creating a curry.
Its all the chopping and changing of which im as guilty of as the rest that is realy curtailing progress. Its difficult to try replicating something when your changing the starting position, you might have had at one time the right base, one that would bring that desired final product but then used the wrong main recipe or vis-versa.
I think we need to take up this challenge as CA started this thread for, back to basics, start with getting a correct base and then everyone sticking to it strictly, then we will find the curry recipe from that.
great thread
