Onion,

great post and really great piccies - thanks !

The base sauce looks really good and I can imagine it stands on its own as a nice dippin' gravy.

I am getting to the end of my last lot of Darth's base (which is superb) and so will give yours a go next time.

No doubt the regulars here will give you some good feedback.

Hi Curry Lover

Thank you for your kind words, I do hope you give it a try. One thing to mention, some onions contain more liquid than others, if you find the finished base a bit too thick for you, just thin it down with some water whilst blending.

Regards

Hello Stargazer
I use the 200gm tins or you could use one 400gm tin, the oil I use is called again and again, it is a cholesterol free oil available from Tesco, but I guess any oil will do, I have used goundnut oil as well. I try to get one that is as healthy as I can.
I hope this helps.

Onion, 1/2 pint of oil ...assume this is imperial - approx 19 ounces of oil or about 473 ml? Seems like a lot of oil. what's your total finished output of sauce?. If I read recipe correct you don't water it down at all?

thnx.... I will try this soon.

Hi Stargazer
The oil is important to the finished taste, when you make your final dish you can skim off the oil if you want to, in another of my posts you will find a recipe for a King Prawn Madras which has a picture of the finished dish.

The measurement of oil is imperial, you are correct I do not water it down, the tomato soup and tinned tomato's make up enough liquid, however, sometimes I find that the water content of onions varies depending on how long the retailer/producer has stored them for, if you find the finished base is a little thick then by all means add a little water.

Thnx onion. My original calcs were incorrect. should be about 10 ounces not 19 of oil! That sounds better :D
