Tried this several times again, & i have to say is not like my favorite BIR (which i believe`d to be the case after a year experimenting with this base).
I will go back to my 99.9% Clone (sorry guys  ).
I suspect the only flavor/smell missing is a flavor enhancer after this weekends testing.(made three Curries).
 

Seasons Greetings..... DARTHPHALL.....

Hi Darth
? ? ? ? ? ? I am sure we are trying for two different flavours here
Sometimes though I can make a curry, twice in an evening, and get a different quality
Who knows?
I'm glad you tried it though, sorry it didn't work out
Did you use the curry gravy oil, though?
That gives avery strong flavour & aroma to it

[DARTHPHALL]

Yes i used the Oil from the Base but alas it is nothing like my local & i have to say my own recipe is as stated 99.9% right.
But at least i did give it another go & actually do some cooking.

Hi Darth,

Just a small point but when you are making your 99.9% base on board your Star Destroyer and flambeeing is there not a health and safety issue to consider?

After all I couldn't think of anything worse than the downfall of the Empire due to a serious pan fire in your galley!!

This is the post

It works for me & this is exactly as they did it
It is a very siimple curry
No precooked ingredients and little spicing
It relies on using curry gravy oil
A very good curry gravy (which is incredibly runny)
A runny garlic ginger puree (too much ruins it, better too little, than too much)
And a good spice mix
I worked out the ratio of mix to be :-
2 curry powder (basaar mix)
1 coriander
1 cummin
2 paprika
1 turmeric

woweeee

thanks Pete........will make this asap and post the results, many thanks

am making this now, with turkey [of course  ]

Used the KD recipe for the curry gravy.

As I don't have used oil, i'm using fresh veg ghee on this occasion.

I presume [for the prawn madras sauce], I use 1 desertspoon of the spice mix above, where it says "1 desertspoon curry powder mix"

Other than that, I will stick to the recipe, maybe add a little chilli for a "vindaloo" [??]

Will post results ...
