G' day        I have thermomix and although a great machine I would not use it to cook a curry in .(sorry) In my opinion a cheap Ali pan is best to cook a curry ( utube Julian curry2go   online he explaines)     You need to add ingrediants at differernt times with your curry spoon with a shake ,stir and a scrap. I would have thought your base would be ok in it.  But for me it wouldnt be big enough I like to do a big pot so I can freeze some  .It does get used in the blended stage when making the base .Ive heard that's why most pro chefs use them in thier kithens they blend such a fine puree they dont even have to use a sieve so a bit over the top for a curry gravey but at least my curries are smooth . Hope I helped Michael

thanks im a bit slow at this I believe you could be right on the speling mmm now wheres seach

Hi guys Its good to hear people are interested in having some powder and sharing their views. My view in buying the bucket was,who else would buy a size like that if they didn't make alto of curries I was thinking restaurants.  Also in the undercover curry book it mentioned a Premium curry powder Not sure if it makes a difference but may be I ha vent singed properly yet, on that subject I really feel there is something in it. When I make a curry gravey and spil some over the edge and hits the naked flame IT smelt restauranty.Also watching videos on utube  of curry chefs in their kitchens (Curryholic) half the time the pan was on fire and they dont seem concerned . It may be a technique to flame the hotter curries or not as the case maybe.  Thank you to Curryhell for putting me onto that thread.

Anyone that would like some powder please let me have your postal addresses and Rich (love it spicey) i'll send you garlic powder, it will look good at Customs!

Michael T (i'll need to think of a curry name).

Thanks for your quick reply.  I be visiting Fleet!
