Well i finished the curry of to become a Prawn Madras,alas it did not taste right to me,there was a kind of sweet taste there(might of been the carrot)a taste i don't recognise with a takeaway.My girlfriend enjoyed it tho,but not me,sorry.
The base looked the same as the pictures shown,however the finished curry did'nt.
That finished madras picture shown was what inspired me to do this recipe,because it looked the real deal,alas i was left with a damp squib!!

I will try again,although ive seen a recipe here that uses 15 cloves of garlic,and many many years ago,an Indian friend of mine told me a similar recipe,so that one sounds very promising.

Thank you SnS,also,,sorry for all the questions,how long can you keep the base in a fridge and can you freeze it? If so,how long would it last for?

Sorry,forgot to add,there is no garam masala in this recipe,is this correct?
Also is a base necessary to make a curry?

Hello everybody,I am new to this site,having just stumbled upon it.
I love curries and making them,however i have never made a gravy before,always made them from scratch? I guess there is another word for this.
So far,to date,i have never been able to make a Curry to restaurant style.Although edible,no where near as good.

For whatever reason i have just made this Saffron Base,so far it looks good,although i'm not sure what im meant to be tasting,it taste kind of blandish.

I'm looking forward to making it into a Madras later,will let uou know how it comes out.

There's so much info on this site,,seems brilliant,glad i stumbled upon it!!
