I have tried Terrys' recipe five times to date , including both the original recipe as well as a number of variations . I still find this base  far too bland and lacking flavor . I think that base flavor is a key element as a building block in BIR cooking . I also feel that coconut as a primary ingredient in a base is overwhelming . I still consider Darths' , Petes' , and Bruce Edwards' bases as the best because they provide a full-bodied flavor that does not require a lot of overspicing .

Nice link -   ;D

Tried this base sauce...nice taste , but obvious overtones of coconut ( perhaps a tad too much ) . I would also think that there would be a subtle difference when using either chicken stock cubes or  " special seasoning " . For bases to reflect a distinct BIR taste , one has to be very specific with the ingredients - generalizing , by stating one can use one ingredient or another tends to skew the results of the cooking method . I will experiment a little more with this base..until then , I still find both Darth's & Petes' base the frontrunners .

Nice one !! 

Welcome and enjoy your visit - there is a wealth of information on the site .

I'll crack open a few pints and be right over cK .  ;D

I agree Stew - I tried a few curries from this website and found them to be more traditional than BIR . The vindaloo and rogan gosh were pleasantly passable as a traditional curry but fell well short of " the taste " .
