It's that bright orange colour I can never seem to match, mine always come out much darker. Can you post the recipe please or direct me to it if you've posted it already?

Post by: Vinda looo on January 17, 2007, 01:27 PM: ok Yellow fingers. I think the colour comes from the type of chilli powder I used, it was from the weigh warehouse in nice and spice packets. I seem to get my best results using this chilli.
The recipe I used is as follows;

4 tbls veg oil
1 tsp tomato puree
1 tsp garlic puree
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp spice mix
1/2 tsp of salt
about 3 cups curry base sauce.

I didnt make the rice I had some already in the freezer, I just used that. {shahis}

Post by: Yellow Fingers on January 17, 2007, 05:44 PM: Thanks Vinda

I suspected it was your base, but just wanted to make sure. Any chance of putting a little more flesh on the bones of your base please before I give it a go? Things like onion size or preferably weight, carrot size etc.

Post by: Vinda looo on January 21, 2007, 08:34 PM: I woudn't say tasty Layne, there's still something not quite right with regard the taste. Basically its pretty bland, it just seems to be missing something. The chilli hits me in the the back of the throat about a minute later its gone down. What Im after is the hotness hitting me straight away but without tasting of too much chilli.

Post by: Yellow Fingers on January 21, 2007, 09:36 PM: Vinda try using pureed green chilli instead of, or in combination with, chilli powder. That should make a difference.
