Product Information

I have recently bought some bassar mix from a lovely lady who makes it herself and that’s what I have been using lately and it is the best! I have no idea what exact spices goes in it but it tastes amazing! Unfortunately, many chefs don’t do this I believe me… you will notice the difference when they present your balti in an ornamental balti pan. It just isn’t the same. Making this recipe right…

I've lost count how many dreadful, tasteless supermarket curry powders I've bought over the years. It became my mission to source a curry powder (masala) that would give all of the restaurant flavour, without having to buy 20 ingredients to try and make a restaurant curry from scratch. Simmer the curry gently for 30 minutes until reduced slightly. The curry will now be ready, Serve with rice and popodoms.Here we have an alternative to the Misty Ricardo (mark I) base gravy. This one has a savoury feel to it, as it’s more refined and has a touch more of a ‘grown up’ flavour. It has a little less sweetness due to the omission of carrot and coconut, but adds two new vegetables to the pot: celery and white cabbage. Both of these add a pleasant piquancy and provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of onions. Although not essential, a keema balti should be cooked over high heat. For this reason, I like to cook mine on the barbecue but a good gas hob will be close enough. Remove the lid for the final ten minutes to allow gravy to reduce slightly before serving with saffron rice.

It is a fairly ‘Hot’ & complete blend, that requires nothing else- though salt can be added to personal tastes. Cassia bark (or cinnamon powder) is given the chance to play a minor supporting role – an extra that’s not especially noticeable except by its absence. NOTE: Don’t forget to remove the cassia bark before blending the base. You can use this Bassar Curry Masala in the preparation of various curries. It is a complete mixture which only requires the addition of salt according to individual taste. Key to this base is the use of my new bassar mix powder. One of the components of this new mix is bassar curry powder, a commercially available Pakistani spice blend which has a heavier proportion of pungent spices than mild madras curry powder, not least amongst which is chilli powder.When I got married that is when I came across bassar, it was widely used by the in-laws. It makes life so much easier using this ready made spice mix! My mother in law makes her own, I have bought many different brands over the years and my favourite is the one pictured. water to the approximate consistency of semi-skimmed milk. The amount stated in the recipes is for the diluted version. Heat the base gravy up before making a curry with it to avoid impairing the cooking process.
