Rest easy Garp. Me too!

And to put things well and truly back into perspective on a personal level, today confirmation of THR Surgery next week. (ie; Total Hip Replacement).

My apologies for getting all worked up.  Some things are best kept away.  :-X

May not cook anything for a few weeks. 

Chef spoons crossed for that one Livo, i wish you a speedy recovery.

That looks great, if you got that filled to the top you could easy serve 150 people.
Nice to see fellow curry obsessed, posting on cR0.

I have similar, but they call them Stewpans, which are wider, rather than tall.
i.e. 45cm wide 20cm tall = 50ltrs

The thicker the gauge Ally the better, usually 303mm these days, but the old ones were about 6mm.

Yep my one is about 6mm, got it off Ebay, and sold the thinner one i had and got my money back, yayyy, I find making the base up quite therapeutic, I was also lucky to get a virtually unused commercial blender, i was fed up with the white one we had getting all stained,
Migrated to here from "another place" lol, i find it a tad more relaxed

curry on
cheers Chewy

The bonus of the commercial type TC is they tend to be thick walled and burning the ingredients
becomes less of an issue, she who must be obeyed does not like base being cooked up in the kitchen, so i chose a good day and make it outside including the whizzing it up with the hand blender.

Thanks for that Livo, i didnt know that about the tumeric paste, i will take that on board.

This is it, i keep it in the loft so i will measure it next time im up there lol

Cutting, rooted using turmeric, fingies crossed

Cut my tree back and harvested some leaves, hopefully new growth will kick in over the next month or so

Hi TC, no there is no set or ideal size, it all depends upon how much base you want to make and have room to freeze / store and how much heat output your hob /burner has, the pot i use for example is 40 ltrs, others use 3.5 ltrs, hope that helps
