Very interesting **Phil but is that with or without Ghee and are they level spoons or estimated? 

Welcome.

........but surely Garam Masala contains a darn sight more ingredients than the 6 listed? 

Chris.  Watched it twice. If I missed it apologies but how long did you give it between the cooker coming up to pressure and removing lid?

Main point I was trying to pick up on was the need to avoid simply multiplying the quantities of everything. 

Power balls?  You mean those super doper high bouncing hobbies? 

For the past few weeks I have had a combination of kids plus boyfriends descending on us for curry. Whilst I take this as a compliment I am getting a bit fed up with doing 2, sometimes 3 batches using my Ali pan and doing 2 portions at once. Last Saturday I thought s*d it and using up the last of my last base I tried doing 4 portions in one go.

For want of a better pan and the only alternative being a large saucepan, I used a large Ali wok. Doing a C2G madras I only doubled the quantities of spices rather than x 4 and I must say that I was not disappointed with the result. Only found it to be slightly bitter which was easily resolved wi a touch of mango chutney.

Conclusions here and reason for posting are that I do not think that ere are any significant disadvantages in making larger quantities like this, although I did try and singe a bit longer than usual and move e sauce high around the edges of the wok. I also think that there is a valuable lesson in not merely x the quantities according to how many portions are required. Not sure of the stats but I believe now that quantities of mix etc need to be scaled down as the quantity increases.

Hope that makes sense.

Welcome Mcurry. Enjoy

Welcome. Enjoy.

.....and to you. Away for three days now so no curry making for me
