As I state some  Birs today I will say it again so as it can be absorbed Some Birs today use Apple sauce

When questioned where its used Vindaloo Bhunas and some dips for popadoms

Non curry likers guests etc noticed the Bir smells
I love the aroma as most curry lovers do . So why did she change it ? I wonder

KD book 1 Curry base had the Bir aroma every time the 2nd version changed I think to tame the aromas for what ever reason.
Were there complaints from some non curry lovers ? I prefer the 1st
Anyone else notice the difference in smell?

I still use my base with apple have you tried made it MA

Loup

I just love curry and the challenge/ inspiration is what makes me happy  ;D

That's a nice attitude much better than getting upset and throwing the cooker out of the window like some here do ;D

Some Birs not all use Apple sauce in a Vindaloo gives a fruity tang ;D

One of the only real Bir bases on this forum IMO
Most are contrived from members adding their own versions "Chuckinthecabbageandhope" with different curry powders
