Homemade Curry

[NoMercy]

What do you put in yours?

We like a fair bit of spice and tonnes of flavour.

We're looking to have less takeaways and more home-cooked curries.

Any recipes appreciated.

Thanks.

I make a nice chicken curry once in a while.

I use one of those Patak sauces. The ones in cans are better than the one in jars. Just brown some chicken pieces and some onions, in a little oil, perhaps some chopped up red pepper as well. Add a can of pineapple chunks and transfer all to a microwave and cook gently for 30-40 mins.

Serve with some home made coconut rice....chop half a small onion into very, very small pieces, and fry until just straw coloured. Put to one side. Boil some good quality Basmati rice and add the onion. In a dry fryingpan, sprinkle some desiccated coconut and quickly whoosh it all about, until its slightly brown. ( be careful as it will burn easily ! )

Add this to the rice and onions, stir thoroughly and wolf it down with your lovely Pataks Chicken Curry !

Simples !

I'd have to omit the pineapple, Mikey, Im not a huge fan of fruity curries.

No problem NoM !

I can't recommend Patak products highly enough. They are a great British Asian success and now export all over the world. My personal favourite is the Rogon Josh....lovely made with beef.

I am not sure why the cans are now getting difficult to find though. I get mine from places like Home Bargains, etc. The jars are still OK but the cans seem better.

On no account use these awful curry sauces from Homepride....they are bulked out with flour !

Mikey...you cook a curry for 30-40 mins in the Microwave?

Yes Ummm...very slowly, so that the flavours mingle nicely.

[ummmm]

You're using ready made paste, the flavours have already mingled. I would think the chicken would be well over cooked.

[mikey4444]

Ummm....not noticed that at all. I sometimes add some extra spices in with the mix, like whole cardamons.

Just realised that I've not made one for ages.

It looks nice, fender, but seems it has palm oil in it, which I do try to avoid if at all possible.

We should have a regular curry thread, OG. It is the nation's favourite dish!

I don't think opening a can or jar of curry counts as a homemade curry, mikey

[ummmm]

Thai green curry is my favourite.

I find many Indian style curries taste very similar.

Yummers, Danny!

I love making poppadoms and prawn crackers at home to go with curry. I'm not keen on those chapati things but I definitely must attempt nan bread at some point.

I have the Hairy Bikers curry cookbook somewhere, which contains a recipe for Keema nan - my absolute favourite.

[NoMercy]

That's what I'm having tonight, Ummmm. :-)

[ummmm]

NoM...naan bread is really easy to make.

Whilst you are in St Ives Mercy, take a look at the Halzephron Farm Shop on the Highs St/Fore St(I mentioned it on your St Ives thread). They sell a range of cracking curry saucers and chutneys and have them out for tasting before you buy. The Halz's Bells curry sauce is the hottest I have ever tasted.
