Topic: Rajver curry gravy(revisited)

[Yousef]

This was one of the base sauces i was very happy with and i recommend any newbies to try it out.

I still remember when i used this base to make a prawn madras and took into work...i had to actually argue as everyone would not believe i made the cury myself at home.  Still makes me smile

Give it a go...

Although I have tried a few of the well tried 'Base Sauces' listed on here, Mrs B reckons our best results have been from the Rajver Base.

I have not yet tried Ifindforu's (Terry's) base, but I hope to soon, so can anyone out there tell me if I should try his original or updated version?

Thanks,
Eric

OK.  I gave in and departed from my normal base; my own which originally started out as KD's and has undergone many changes over the years.
First thoughts were how quick and easy it was to literally throw it all together.  Hey presto!  In just over an hour i had a saucepan full of curry base to satisfy my neverending desire for BIR curry.
Smelt and tasted quite good.  No time to put it through its paces though.  Had to settle for a chick pea curry that was just thrown together for the next day's lunch with Mr Singh's chapattis.  Why chick peas i can hear?  Two reasons:   All the other essentials were still rock hard and in the freezer And i had recently had a  delightful curry cooked by one on the many Asian ladies whom I work with.  She made  a curry for one of my colleagues and he wasn't too keen on the looks.  But I'll try anything once, and besides i love channa massalla as a side.  It was damn tasty stuff.

After gentle dinging, the result was more than acceptable.  In fact, i bought more chick peas and will be doing it on a regular basis.
Have defrosted a portion of gravy this afternoon and will be giving it the chicken phall test later this evening to see how it compares to my normal base.  Will of course post results and comments a little later when things have cooled down a bit ;D

After gentle dinging, ...

Sorry, CH, you've lost me : what exactly is a "dinging", gentle or otherwise ?!

Oh dear, I clearly had a little too much to drink to celebrate the New Year : now there are two posts that I completely fail to understand
