Topic: Zaal Base

Cheers Chewy.

Learning by my own mistakes is invaluable, but learning from other peoples, has the edge I think .

Do BIR's not use their base gravy's immediately after cooking and store in the fridge to allow the spices to infuse,I don't know 

I know several places that cook the base, then fridge it when cool
They use it for three days (unless extra busy)
It's not used fresh

I made the Zaal base, and several curries from it
I thought it was average at the time, and froze a few curries
When I reheated one, in my microwave, I thought it was restaurant quality
Extremely good
Very pleased

There are so many recipes, on Cr0  to try
I keep getting sidetracked
I must do some more Zaal recipes

I think we would all agree that even our favourite t/a have their off days and sometimes produce disappointing curry's  but I do wonder if the 'not so tasty' curry's are due to them being made from a new batch of base and the better curry's come from the more ' matured ' base nearer to the bottom of the pot
