Yeah it's decent, think I burned it slightly though so the curry is looking a fair bit darker than yours.
His base looked a bit darker than mine from what I seen in his video too.
Yeah, not bad for a first bash. Could possibly do with something to make it taste a little lighter - maybe some more lemon juice or something. I put some coconut milk in as well to try it.
Think the base was slightly too caramelised as well so that’ll have an affect.
Not bad for a first attempt though, cheers for the tip. Got onion paste and base to freeze as well.

Ah, I hadn’t seen the picture originally. Looks good to me. The coconut flavour is much milder than I thought it would be when I first seen the recipe though I’m going to try the MR one next as the creamed coconut is heavy and his only uses milk and powder.
Made some more base after to the recipe I posted above and it’s a good bit lighter, probably where the colour difference comes from.

Hand-written recipe sharing.

@Giggles
Are you cooking that with the lid on for the full first 2 1/2 hours? Don't you want the onions to caramelise?
No it’s a thin base, so I just want the onions to slowly release their liquid and sugars. You caramelise the base when you’re cooking the curry dish itself.
The middle pic is after the 2.5 hours just before I stirred in the tomatoes, powder mix, etc.
That could be a week’s worth of meals for one person eh
What on earth does that mean. I was complimenting your meal prep
Shit Being you, I read it as a week for one normal person. Apologies.
It's more than a week though, each tub makes two dishes.
Bhuna is always good.
Any suggestions for a starter special that involves swordfish, chaps?
Today I'm making marinaded chicken satay skewers with a peanut butter dipping sauce.
Swordfish is pretty meaty, what's it like raw or ceviche?
Speaking of fish, my chippy has started offering sea bass as one of their fish supper options. I mean, I don't live in a particularly nice area. I'm not really sure who they're catering to with a £9 fish supper.
That's about how much a normal one is round here.
Probably the most middle class sentence I've ever written incoming:
The chippy near mine next to the Waitrose did similar but it was Swordfish rather than Sea Bass.
The most middle class sentence I've ever heard was my niece, having been sent in to get get condiments, salad dressings, etc. for the barbecue coming back into the garden and saying to my sister, "I didn't know what balsamic vinegar you wanted so I just brought all three."
Very good.
Having a fish finger sandwich for my tea and then getting stuck into some Hobnobs for afters
I had mini-cheddars, cheese and pickled onions a minute ago.
God I've not had a Hobnob in such a long time. Need to sort that.
I used to like stacking them in a tumbler, pouring milk over them, and eating it with a spoon. I should bring it back as Brexit granola.
That makes Lewis' post kinky as fuck.
Chocolate ones or just normal, Lewis?
I've learned my lesson when it comes to listening to your milk and biscuits advice.
Normal ones. The spoon goes through the stack easier.
I need to get a packet of chocolate ones in the morning.
And that's Ian replacing Mahow as the star on our deviant Christmas tree.
It's the quiet ones you've got to look out for.
Fuckers had none in the Spar.
That was the downside to it.
Diabetabix. Trademark it quick.
Monthly Street food festival (loads of food trucks in the town centre) today and I had some beastly bao from Guerilla Kitchen.

Somebody brought some of these into work and they were amazing. Fuck joining Instagram just to order some brownies though.
Choosing two chocolate bars would be difficult. I reckon I'd have to get some Twix in there.
Brownies are disgusting. Just thinking about them makes me feel a bit sick.
I'm a twit
What is wrong with you?? I hope you let your daughter gorge on brownies whenever she wants
Brownies are the fucking business.
"Brownies are disgusting" might be the wrongest opinion I have ever encountered by virtue of how strongly you're against them.
"I'm not keen on brownies" would be weird. But disgusting? Very worrisome.
They’re just so rich and super chocolatey, which is bad.
The only thing worse are those big cookies that are brown. I think they’re called double chocolate? Eurgh, I feel queasy.
I'm a twit
Always knew you were a deviant but this is an outrage
You've described double chocolate cookies the way somebody for whom English is a second language might.
Can we ban Baz?
Those brownies look excellent.
