Topic: Glasgow curry base sauce

Paul do you mean how much oil you put in the pan before the base goes in? to cook a dish.

[Malc.]

Based on BB1's recent reply on SJ's Madras I'm calculating it at 9 Litres of finished base which my maths calculates to the follwing figures:



30 x 300ml portions @ 1034 Kcal with a 67ml oil content
-or-
36 x 250ml portions @ 862 Kcal with a 56ml oil content

Hi Steve, no I understand no extra oil is used at the dish cooking time.

Sorry mate i misinterpreted the question,
cheers

Thanks for the replies, I agree with the figures from Axe for 55.5 ml oil making a curry with 250 ml base from a 9 litre finished base.

I've got a figure of 8 Kcals per ml of any oil or fat so I get 444 Kcals for the oil in a curry. That sounds fine to me, I'll have to make this when I get a chance.

Cheers

What's the recipe for the full size 25kg base please Boaby?

Cheers, Frank.

Just to let you know Paul, most oils contain 899 Kcal per 100ml which of course equates to 9 Kcal per 1 ml of Veg Oil. This brings your calorie count up to 499 Kcal in this scenario. I know some may think this is splitting hairs but for those watching their calorie intake, it's quite a hike.

Just put on the other base thread 7kg onions gave me 12 litres

[Malc.]

Hi Micheal I think the only difference is that you weighed out 7kg of prepared onions whereas BB1 bought 2 bags of unprepared onions a 5kg and a 2kg and then prepared them. I don't know what his final weight would have been but I guessed it at around 6.5kg for my calculations.

Your 12 litre base will return slightly different figures as follows:

36 x 300ml portions @ 886 Kcal with 56ml oil content
-or-
44 x 250ml portions @ 725Kcal with 45ml oil content
