Curry recipes?

[DaStottman]

I went to Chinatown today and picked up some curry sauce at an Asian market. Anyone know of something good I can make with it?

[Hos]

i dunno, maybe dice up some chicken breast (free range does taste better) and brown than in a pan with a little vegetable oil, chopped garlic and onions. stick the onions in before the garlic cos the garlic will burn before the onions are browned. if the sauce you bought doesn't have it already put in some coriander, a couple of tablespoons if fresh, one if dry also add a little turmeric. add the sauce and let it simmer, check the seasoning.

serve with boiled basmati rice, for a nice twist add some saffron to a cup of boiling water (only a couple stamens) and once the saffron has infused in the water tip the saffron water into the rice as it cooks.

Cook some rice, buy a few sausages (2 per person, preferrably pork meat), 1 onion, kethcup and 1 or 2 small cups of creme fraiche (something like sour cream..?).

Cook the rice (easy)

Bake the Sausages, when almost done, cut them into pieces. Bake the onion rings with the slices. Add the creme fraiche to the sausage-slices, and the ketchup, and the curry sauce. Don't make it too spicey...also use yellow curry powder until it gets orange.

Just try some out. We don't use the curry, but it's optional. Tastes good, very nutritious. Good food when planning to drink a lot.

If you want authentic curry, use lamb. And do NOT remove ANY bones. My best friend/next door neighbor is of Indian descent and I've eaten authentic curry plenty of times. All it is is meat with bones, potato chunks(no skin), jasmine/non-sticky white rice, and thick grainy dark brown curry sauce.

It is delicious.

There IS authentic chicken curry too, it's not restricted to lamb. But yes, don't remove the bones.

Curry with split-pea soup is awesome. A must try if you like pea soup. Check out http://search.allrecipes.com/recipe/default.asp for recipes and reviews/suggestions.

Instead of split-pea soup, try dahl. Dahl is like split-pea soup except it's made with lentils, and it's more curry-y.

Here are two hassle-free recipes:

Oven-Cooked Dopiaza (serves 4 ? or 2 greedy bastards)

The easy thing with this recipe is that you can prepare it in advance and bung it in the oven later.

8 x chicken thighs (unboned)
2 tablespoons oil
450g onions (chopped)
2 tablespoons curry powder (e?g Sharwoods Bombay Mix)
150 ml m(1/4 pint) plain yoghurt
1 teaspoon flour
150 ml chicken stock
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 tablespoon lemon juice
? tin of Coconut Milk and ? packet of Ground Almonds (optional)
Fresh Coriander (optional)

? In a frying pan brown half the onions in oil, add the curry mix and fry for 2 more mins.

? Remove from heat add flour and stir. Then add yoghurt (stir), stock, tomato puree and lemon juice.

? Put chicken thighs (lightly scored with a knife) in a casserole and pour over the sauce.

? Heat oven to 180? (Gas mark 4) ? then cook for 1.5 hours (add the remaining onions after 30 mins).

Finishing the dish ? taste the sauce 15 mins before the end and add plenty of fresh coriander (chopped or torn). Too hot or dry ? (add coconut milk), too watery ? (add ground almonds). Put back in the oven, then take out when time?s up and leave to stand while you cook the rice.


Spiced Tomato and Yoghurt Chicken Balti (serves 4)

This is fuckin easy peasy.

2 tablespoons oil
6 skinless Chicken Breasts cut unto chunks
1 onion thinly sliced
4 tablespoons of curry paste (authentic Balti if poss)
400g can; ?Cream of Tomato? Soup (don?t laugh)
200g natural yoghurt
150g fine green beans (trimmed, boiled for 2-mins and refreshed in cold water)
juice of ? a lemon
Fresh coriander

? Heat half the oil in a frying pan (medium heat) add half the chicken & brown ? remove the cooked pieces and repeat with remaining oil. Set chicken aside.

? Add onion to pan and fry for 5-mins.

? Stir in the curry paste and cook for 2-mins.

? Return chicken to pan and coat with curry sauce.

? Add Tomato Soup, then fill ? of the can with water and add to pan followed by yoghurt. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 mins until sauce thickens.

? Add green beans, lemon juice and coriander ? cook for a further 2 mins, season to taste and serve.

The above dishes are best served with rice, naan?s ( I buy mini ones from the supermarket, freeze them and then cook them in the toaster) and cold lager (with an iced glass) ? Tiger or Singha are the best ones.

Oh ? and remember to put the toilet roll in the fridge for the next morning.

The
Curry Secret by Kris Dhillon is the best curry recipe book I've seen - all the recipes are based on using a curry sauce - it tells you how to make one too. It's a cheap book and covers all you're favourite indian takeaway classics!

I've made some very impressive curry's by following this book - that's saying a lot! IF I wasn't about to go out, I'd post a recipe - but if you tell me what kind of curry you're after, I'll try and post one in the next day or two...

Re: Curry recipes?

Hurry Curry Cauliflower

Recipe courtesy Alton Brown (Food TV)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon coriander seed
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 whole clove garlic, smashed
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup water
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pickling salt

Heat the canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Crush the cumin seed with the coriander seed and add to the pan. Add the curry powder, ginger, and garlic to the pan. Cook these spices, stirring until the oil colors and the spices are fragrant. Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and toss to coat.

In a lidded plastic container, combine the water, rice wine vinegar, cider vinegar, sugar, and pickling salt. Shake to combine.

Once the cauliflower is slightly tender, add it to a glass jar. Pour the pickling liquid over the cauliflower, filling to the top of the jar. Cool, chill, and store the pickles for 1 week to allow the flavors to develop thoroughly.

Yield: 4 servings
