Topic: curry base,indian sauce

[marybakers]

2 1/2 lbs onion finely chopped,
6 large or 12 medium cloves garlic crushed and chopped
1 1/2 tsp turmeric
oil-approx.6 fl.ozs

put chopped onions and garlic in large pot.cover with water and add turmeric and oil stirring well.
bring to the  boil and simmer briskly.this should take 1 1/2 - 2 hrs.
stir now and again.when onions start to stick it is cooked.
blend to smooth paste.

i am in the middle of making this just now,looks more like chinese curry sauce rather than indian sauce.any tips greatly appreciated.

Hi marybakers,

Which recipe is this? It looks a little basic compared to most of the "rated" bases from the site.

yes i know,cant remember where i got this recipe,but it was on here somewhere,i dont think al be making that one again,sure is basic.its in the pot just now.think i will need to add more spices to it.the base i normally make is the one with the 8 onions in it and oil,carrot,green pepper,tomato puree,plum tomatoes,garlic and ginger puree,cumin,coriander,turmeric,salt,garam masala optional.i got this base perfectly,this sure is my favourite.i make my own spice mix up too.cheers
