Lc just go to the Pictures of your curry section, I have just posted all mine there now, Base, curry,rice, and nan from tonight.

This base is wonderful, my new standard base without doubt, it is easily the closest I have come to the taste and aroma of the restaurant bases I have tasted, cheers jb

My review of jb base sauce, simple, the best I have made, the closest I have made that had the taste/aroma of the restaurant bases I have tested, and a wonderfully moreish tasty curry cooked with it!

Happy days indeed 

Tomorrows Friday Night Curry Club are going to be so impressed, especially with the 7.5l of blow your socks off Somerset Cider bought from the barn of a local hard to find farm while on my recent holiday !

looking forward to hearing how you got on with this base

Evening Stephen,

The base worked beautifully, made one of my most enjoyable, moreish, BIR tasting/smelling vindaloos. And that was after making a batch of nan bread dough, a large pot of pilau, batch of garlic paste, batch of blended green chilli, batch of blended plum tomato all  of which have stocked up my freezer.
Really enjoyed the Vindaloo, pilau rice and nan bread.
Ill post a couple of pictures in the correct section shortly

Just warming a portion of this base , it smells amazing, smells like the restaurant base and I can tell the garlic tarka is in there. About to make a vindaloo, rice done , nan dough ready , beer flowing, music booming , happy happy days!!

Lol @ SS  ;D

Hi MA ;D
At the moment I been playing with your recipe instead of adding lemon juice I use 1/2 a cooking apple skinned it soon pulps down and gets a sweetish tangy taste try it

Never thought of trying that one mr ox, on my todo list, shame I can't get to any shops in time for tonight's curry though. Might have a try with lime again instead

Mr ox
Couldn't agree more, the proof will be in the cooking of the curry tonight, but the aroma and taste of this base is as close as I've got to the restaurant base I get.
What is your current vindaloo recipe?

I am pretty sure that they will still be batter than any shop bought crappy naan's

I'm sure they will be Lou

Hi Ed I scaled down to 1.5kg and for the garlic tarka I used a medium size clove, as opposed to the largest cloves in the bulb, it worked wonderfully well.
I think it will be worth experimenting on just how much garlic can be used in the tarka. It all comes down to personal taste really. I added a tarka using a small garlic clove in 400ml of base and it tasted great and produced a fantastic curry. I havent made a curry as of yet with the 1.5kg so dont know how the tarka holds up in that one.

Cheers jerry, I have found his wife on Facebook ,and I'll check for the base recipes
