thanks for the welcome people 

@ Chilli Prawn - I never go hotter than a vindaloo I am a sissy girl after all : (Unless I'm challenged by one of my brothers that is : and I've never lost a pepper eating competition yet ;D )

As a dominatrixxx I only inflict pain and suffering to others Wanna hear my singing?

Many thanks DP I used your base to make a bhuna, but I used mild curry powder as I have to make it mild enough for the kids : ......Excellent sauce ;D final results were as near as damnit to our local BIRs'

I'm gonna have to try your other recipes now

Thanks again

Glad to be a part of this forum ;D I've already tried DarthPhall's CB and have to say it's great I used it to make a bhuna for me, the hubby and the bratz and everyone thought it was fantastic As near as damnit to our local BIRs 

Looking forward to trying more recipes
