BB,

That looks spot on mate, just like a takeaway.
I hope it tasted as good as it looks.

This will probably give you the sour taste that you sometimes find in a madras.

Stew, I would think that 40 minutes frying onion in that much oil would start to 'deep fry' it. What sort of temperature did you use in the pre-fry stage? What was the final consistency/colour of the onions before proceeding with the regular Saffron recipe?

Just boil them in 750ml of veg oil for 40 mins, you are aiming for what JerryM had in the bottom left photo.  Caramalised and sweet, then just chuck in the rest of the ingrediants, top up with water to cover and carry on with the base recipe.

I do not see an issue with an indian takeaway using vast amounts of oil to boil their veg in then topping up with water after the initial stage.  In fact they would probably just chuck all the veg in the pot in one go with a hugh amount of oil, boil and spice, blend and finally add water to get the consistency they require. 
Perhaps my next base will be made using this approach as it would be fast, sweet and spicy.

QuoteI often add whole chili's sliced down the middle as a garnish. What stage do you add them at? Also when you recommend squeezing in the lime juice? Cheers, BB.

Bobby,
I put them in when the curry is simmering (i.e after all the base i s added) so they get about 8 to 10 minutes.
I put a squeeze of lime in 5 mins from the enr...try it.
