A curry base / gravy sauce is a great thing to have in the freezer. You can make loads of different styles of curries from it and "feed" an Indian takeaway curry craving too! Very cheap to do in bulk.
I've found this forum very inspirational for HM curry nights.

a level tablespoon each of minced garlic and ginger seems quite conservative for the amount of other ingredients. If you don't fancy loads of chopping then the jars from ethnic grocery stores and some supermarkets are good value and keep for ages in the fridge once opened. You can also freeze minced garlic and ginger if you fancy making your own in bulk and then storing in the freezer in ice cube trays or spoonfuls which can be put in a bag after freezing on a baking tray and then used from frozen. You can also freeze whole ginger root and grate it from frozen when required.0

I second the freezing of the whole ginger root, I'm not so fond of frozen garlic though and my recent experiment with chilies in the freezer disappointed me lol.
I love homemade takeaway style curries. Saves a fortune if you pre plan and get ahead with some of the carryout restaurants' tricks from that forum.
Recently discovered I could do nan breads on my gran' pancake girdle using a basic bread dough. Couldn't believe how easy it was and it cost buttons to make.0 -

This guy Julian also does a series of vidoes including "base" gravy videos. eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x4oIVzfQZ4
I agree that the thought of it as a gravy isnt great but I did do the equivalent from the curry secret book referred to and it does make for authentic - BIR or British Indian Restaurant style curries.
The purists often comment about it not being the homemade way of doing things but it seems to be how the 10 minute takeaway curry is actually done.0 -
