One thing I noticed is that I struggled to reclaim the oil at the end. I think maybe I scooped some off with the scum. Any suggestions to the cause of and solution to the problem?

I need a new curry pan but I'm not all that clued up in what to look for. I'll spend what it costs for a good one. Does anyone have any links to suggested examples? Thanks in advance guys!

I should have mentioned that I scaled down 50% last night when I made this base. I have never found a problem scaling down bases, I'm just more careful about measurements.

Just tried it now. Good solid results. A good standard base for sure.
Crikey Bobby - that was quick.
Did you make the Madras as well as the gravy? Do you reckon it's as good as BIR ... smell and taste?
Notice - no use of garam masala.
Best regards
SnS ;D
The gf wanted a curry so I got her to chop the onions etc lol. Just used the base SnS, I used the darth madras recipe with it. It was very good indeed. Good classic BIR taste. Similar to some of the other good bases on the site. It's certainly a solid contender and a safe bet!
Haha, that was quick wasn't it! It was purely chance SnS but I have been looking forward to your post. I came here to see what base I'd choose for tonights curry and bingo! What a spot of luck! ;D

I think the easiest way for XP users to quickly resize is to use the Windows XP resize powertoy. It adds a resize option to your right click menu, when right clicking on an image file. Find it here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe
Also, I mentioned in the suggestions when I joined, it would be easiest to resize files server side when the file is uploaded. Using the GD library for php, this can be done quite simply. This would mean that no matter the size of file uploaded, it would always be saved on the server size 700 x 525, or whatever we want. I am a professional programmer and can write php so if you need help I am more than happy to oblige.
