hi dawn and dwelfhorn
welcome to you curry dream BIR at that!
dwelf check out the rajver phall recipe i posted/cooked in the Rajver kitchen it is a simple and quite straight forward just be careful with the chilli powder as the fumes as it cooks can have you coughing your heart out, it's okay to be eating 1 but to cook 1 is a totally different scenario ;D.
any questions you have can and will be answered by the talents and masters of BIR on this site. enjoy your stays.
vlad you say you are in kent, which town/village? i live  in a village near ashford.

regards
gary

I tend to agree. My last batch was with red pepper the one in the photo was from a previous batch. I am sticking to the red (for colour), although I'm not sure if it affects the taste.

I have to say that I think it most probably does affect the taste. This base is far better than pretty much any base I've made and the red pepper stands out to me as one of the major factors for the positive change. Having not tried it with the green however, I can't be sure.

I agree, red peppers are ripe (sweeter) as green are not (sharper taste) I like both but prefer red the in between colours are yellow and orange but cant really taste any different in them thou.

I have to take my hat off to you SnS the pics look fantastic !!  - I'm all out of base this looks like its going to get made this weekend.. ill get back to you with some pic's. UB.  

welcome to the nut house

Thanks again Unclebuck, I have bought at Natco as the shipping charges were far cheaper but possibly next time I will try spices of india and buy some pastes to find out if they make a major breakthrough in my curry making  ;D
Best regards

No trouble 
I dont think pataks is the be all and end all mind... I think jerry is going to make some pastes of his own im looking out for that one.

Thanks for the feedback currytester

Many thanks for the links Unclebuck but I am from Spain.
I have never seen any Patak?s pastes or something similar in my local supermarket, I saw once a Sharwoods? mild curry paste ("ideal for korma"  as stated on the jar, although I don?t know if they are interchangeables) in another one, I supposse that I will have to go back to check but I will never been able to have at my disposal such variety of pastes to choose from.
Best regards

Ok i see these guys ship to the EU

No Pataks pastes over here, so I wont be able to give this recipe a go (as many others calling for Pataks pastes). It is very frustrating when the recipes call for any pataks paste, because there?s nothing I can do about it, you cannot try to substitute anything you have no idea what is like, also it?s frightening to know that takeaways use them as it would mean that I wouldnt ever get closer to the BIR taste, no matter how hard I tried (I am sure that thats true in CTM, as I cannot emulate the CTM I got used to in the UK, I got very good recipes but are not quite the same).

Regards
