Just put together a Saturday special.

What has confused me is that with the exception of two green chillis seeded and chopped ( strength known ) I did not add any chilli powder or anything else with heat potential.  Used normal mix powder but did add a tbs of basaar. Used basaar before and not had the heat ( to my knowledge anyway ). Does anyone know different re the basaar as I cannot for the life of me work out why what was intended to be a fragrant yet mildish curry ( for others ) has ended up as something almost vinders in strength.  Not a problem aas I will happily eat it but not what was intended.

Well I know colours can be deceptive on here but those pics look awsome. 

Sorry Ruby, I will re-phrase my question. How did the spiced oil taste by itself?  Just a bit surprised that its inclusion in a curry made with a base (and meat) containing no whole spices didn't have a significant effect on the finished dish.

No whole spices but does have mix etc. the oil on its own has a tang of onion bhaji. Not surprising considering how it is made.  i do also like to add some magic sauce C2G style. 

Haha. Wind up or mental issue finally confirmed.   ;D

I freeze base sauce using zip lock bags as well. cheaper than foil and can fit more into the freezer. Re-useable too.

Which ziplock bags do you use?
