i made a naga chicken recently with this base and have to say it was superb, close to my fav bir's and as good as some others, the recipe is simular to madras but using naga's instead, finely chopped onion, pepper and one naga (naga added later stage).

This is the first base i have tried from cr0 so i can't compare it with other's on the site, previously i have used kris dillon and the melt base(from another site) all good but JB's is the best ive tried so far, concidering saffron base next, anybody using JB's base at present? and what are your results.

i'm not that convinced anymore that BIR or curry is bad for you. in fact i'm strongly positive on the health aspects.

my recent back trouble was down to not enough magnesium (for muscle strength). when i looked at how i could up this (and other important body chemicals using Axe's pointer on the food website) i was taken aback by how much spices offer of the good things that the body needs.

put this together with all the vegetables, tom puree, garlic, ginger then i'm sure it beats most foods well into the distance.

even the verdict on coconut is still not that clear even though it's technically high sat fat.

that leaves the veg oil and salt as the only downers.

I agree also with the health benifits of spices, it has recently been proven that chilli is good for your heart as chilli relaxes the arteries, i know from fact that it relaxes my bowls, more vindi for me please!

made this base tonight (JB'S), smells and taste very good but for me the coconut over powers it a bit ,very creamy as JB's pics look like,  i find it strange that i use the same amount of coconut block in my melt base gravy and the coconut has no dominant flavour in my base (simalar quantiities of oil, water and ingreidiants used).
I'm yet to cook a dish with this and think the base will be exellent for a korma (not my fav dish) but i will experiment.

i did add additonal salt, tsp termeric, 3 cardomon pods + 1 naga chilli ( i get a bit carried away sometimes), i also scooped of some reddish oil from the base for my tikka marinade, i will let you know how i get on.

Wow! great stuff JB, i would love to know whats in that pre cooked chicken mixture?, hats off to you matey for your efforts.

i also use coconut block in my base, i think it adds a slihtly creamer taste but hard to notice.

I have also heard that Chili powder if not cooked through can cause flatulence plus the dreaded ' Ring Of Fire ' the following day  I now keep a toilet roll in the fridge for just these occasions. 

chilli has also been proven to relax arteries adding benifits to your hearts health, i assume then chilli relaxes your bowls also wish i can relate with to somewhat after a naga chicken, (very painfull next day!), but i dont fart much, green veg does it for me(sprouts!)

That looks very nice indeed!, i will look forward to the pilau rice recipe also. your a lucky man to have your otherhalve cooking you vindi!. atb fishy

I make beef stew often (simalar to yours) plus added can of baked beans (tasty)!, i stew for about 1hrs then eat (tastes fresh if severvd after cooking), i make so much that i use and reheat next day and day after,(no more than 3days) it has so much more flavour if left to cool for 24hrs+ and reheat.

im with you and gonna try base stewed and cooled for say 24hrs+.

im not sure but i think BIR make ther base same day so proper stewing doesnt take place.
