Like trying to decide on your favorite beer , sample them all once ( or twice ) then formulate an opinion . If you are still in doubt , do more research . ;D

Yes I wouldn't read too much into it, for a start to give an accurate vote you would have to have tried them all and compared them, how many of us have done that as I know I havn't.? Personally I voted for 3 of the recipes because I felt that they more than any others have helped me get where I am now even if I no longer use them all.? I'm still of the opinion that there is no correct base recipe but this poll should give new users an idea of which one\s to go for first.

I think Bruce Edwards recipes were a real breakthrough
But since then, I have never seen the following curries cooked his way
None start with frying peppers
He doesn't mention prefried onion (which are in loads of meals)
Not a word about curry gravy oil
And the roghan josh is like no dish I have ever bought
It's nice, but not right
I made the korma for my kids' once
There were in love with the meal from the takeaway, butI got a total thumbs down
We have better recipes on this site now

Hi Admin  :),

I think the intent behind this poll is great!  8)

However, as several other people here have commented, I also feel unable to vote because I have only tried 1 out of the 25 Curry Base recipes on here!  :o  I feel that my vote would therefore be a little misleading!  :P  So, I have a suggestion to make??

?..would it be more effective (if it?s not too hard to implement) to change things a bit to enable people to rank (on a scale of 1 to 5, for example) the recipes they?ve tried.  A running total of votes cast for each recipe can also be maintained (plenty of other web sites do something similar).  I know that I?d then rank the recipe I?ve already tried and return to rank others, when I?ve tried them, in the future.  Maybe more people would do so too?

What do you think?  :-\

PS:  The same system could be used to rank other recipes too?

I agree with you here Les I think that would be a great idea if possible, it would also allow new recipes to be added and rated along with the tried and trusted.

I totally agree with the former comments , but with one caveat - that all recipes submitted have a  concise form of weights & measures indicated . That way , everyone can hopefully reproduce a similar taste .

And whether level or rounded or heaping spoons.
And what brands of curry powder, garam masala, and curry pastes were used.

Good to see some support for the idea  :)

I've been thinking about it a bit more ( :o) and offer a couple of suggestions for ranking systems that might be appropriate:

Firstly, to keep things really simple, rank the recipe, from 1 to 5, according to the following (or, obviously, alternative) descriptions:

1 - Shocking!  Even my local chippy would be ashamed to serve this!  :o
2 ?  Poor!  My local chippy might serve this - if they thought they?d get away with it!  :'(
3 ?  Satisfactory!  Could eat this again; beats the hell out of fish ?n chips!  :-\
4 -  Good!  Hey, I?d be proud to serve this to my friends - AND admit that I made it!  :)
5 ? Excellent!  Even my favourite BIR would be proud to serve this!  ;D

Secondly, another suggestion, for a slightly more rigorous (and complex  ::)!) system is to rate the recipe, according to certain attributes.  For example, rank the recipe, from 1 to 5 (the same descriptions as above could be used), for each of the following attributes:

a)   Appearance  (1 :o to 5 ;D)
b)   Taste (1 :o to 5 ;D)
c)   Smell (1 :o to 5 ;D)
d)   Similarity to BIR (1 :o to 5 ;D)
e)   Clarity and accuracy of recipe (1 :o to 5 ;D)

A grand total (in this case, to a maximum of 25), could then be given.  Obviously, other attributes could also be used instead.  A section for comments and total number of votes cast could be included.

Hope this is helpful?   :-\  (now, all that remains is the hard work!  ;))

See what you think?
