Well stephen ive been to glasgow 100's of times and yes i love the scotts, very welcoming and friendly and ive had some great times there, i used to go to blantyre.

Well i must say my base was thick too, i did cook on a fairly high heat, last nights picture of my madras shows little oil, As from north to south on taste im 300 miles from glasgow, weve got the same taste here as in scotland, BB1's base prove's it. secondly i phoned my friend barry in burnham,south buck's and asked him what the taste of the curries were like down there, his answer the same as the west midland's, George, im afraid you need to go and do some real cooking rather than cook a concoction and say it taste's nice! then ask for a full size version of the glasgow base, why not just cook what's been given to you? And come back with some positive result's, another useless contribution to the site, no offence.
but there you have it.

Hi ss, well what can i say! my base was spot on and it lit every candle, once you diverse into very smaller amount's i dont think it will have the same effect, i would say it's splitting hair's so to speak, The emphasis on oil content is sometimes over the top (no disrespect) but would one go into a takeaway and ask the chef for the oil per portion ratio of the curry before the order was taken, I think the scientific side need's to be left aside as there to much calculating over portion's and oil. that's why the bir has its taste, in my opinion to cut corner's and still expect the bir taste is not going to happen.

Noticed 25ltr drums of it at my local, that too was rapseed oil. i dont believe that they add anything to it in my opinion, how far can you go trying to use flavoured oils? Ihey just use the oil from the drum and thats it.

Hi curryhell, very lucky down there, see you got a good speedway team for this season coming!

I used to go to milton keynes every tuesday. last time i went i was shocked how it had changed.

Looks like youve got the most so far les,

Sorry mate i misinterpreted the question,
cheers

Paul do you mean how much oil goes in the pan to cook the dish,

Paul do you mean how much oil you put in the pan before the base goes in? to cook a dish.
