Point taken, ive now slapped my hands, i will keep all in this section from now on, thanks for pointing that out.

Well ive got to say its lovely, a superb base for any dish, i let the base cook longer at the end and the taste changed immensly, i also added my chicken to save time and i will dish it out later,,,,,it doesnt taste like a fully finished curry but certainly has a lovely lightly spiced curry flavour, no bitterness or blandness im pretty impressed with it to be honest and it doesnt take long too do, prep all your things first to make it easier, but of coarse the final dish will tell the tail later this evening, maybe someone else can have a bash and draw a conclusion on a final finished dish with this base! :    pics will be posted later of the finished dish, if you intend to make a fair bit of this gravy double the ingrediants.
forgot to add it does have a slighty smokey flavour, Cant stop dipping in the sauce now, got to hide it! :

Just been and got a few bits to cook the punjabi gravy i posted any time now, i will let you all know the outcome, i think with the nuts les you would be ok as they have to be soaked for an hour and puree'd, unless you have an allergy to nuts?

That looks just awesome, its amazing what a bit of spam can do!

A big thanks to admin for cleaning the site up, wow what a mess that was, well done.

Cheers guys i will keep you informed thats for sure, you know someones got to let the cat out of the bag one day if you know what i mean, but the contrast of the whole thing hopefully may cast some light on what we are looking for i dont know! its challenging but when you got a kitchen with a few chefs in it wouldnt take long to make the gravy. curryhell look forward to the updates and yes great shame about the spam,

I found this today and its bir gravy they use for all sorts of bir dishes, im going to give it a bash, i notice the use of curd for texture plus a whole host of things, looks good! and its cooked in a different way to the methods we are all trying or used too, this is not a finished dish from what i can gather from the reading. i have copied and pasted the recipe to a new folder just incase.
