Nice one guys - great to see people giving this a go! 
Trouble is that while Abdul's base may be less oily, you'll have to add more oil to the final dish to compensate - as you know, with Taz's base you forgo the oil in the final dish as it is all in the base, it's just a case of reducing it. (Not sure how much oil Abdul stipulates in his recipes).

It tastes very pleasant, and what I instantly notice is the lack of oil compared to Taz's base which is absolutely swimming in it. (Don't get me wrong I love taz's base and is one of the best bases I have made from here), but for me that is a good thing as oil equals calories, so if I can re-produce the kind of curries that I not only am I enjoying right now but my kids and friends go crazy for, without the calories, then this could be the base I am looking for.
