Method

Put a wok or large solid pan, on a medium heat and add all the spice seeds, star anise, cinnamon,cardamom pods and heat gently for 1-2 minutes until the aromas are released and mustard seeds start to pop. Be careful not to burn the spices.

Remove and cool seeds and spices etc, then grind to a fine powder, put 1 tsp of this spice garam masala to one side to sprinkle in the finished curry.

Put 1/2 of the sliced onions in a blender, tomato puree, vinegar/lemon juice, dry powder spices, and ground toasted spice garam masala, 1 -2 tbs. water and blend to a smooth pulp.

Put wok/pan back onto a medium heat add enough oil to slowly fry the remainder of the onions till start to go a golden brown and caramelise, this gives the curry sauce it's taste and colour. Add the ginger and garlic, curry leaves, chillies, ( put small knife slits in the flesh of the chillies to release there flavour) cook stir frying for 2 minutes .Add onion spice blended mix and stir fry for 5 minutes to cook the mixture.

Add chicken and stir fry till browned, add more oil if needed.

Add tin chopped tomatoes, and tamarind and mango chutney if using. add a cup of cold water, 1 tsp salt and bring to the boil, stir well and turn down to a low simmer, Cook till chicken/ meat is cooked through, adding more water as required, also if you like a more oily textured curry add a little more oil to the sauce.

If using coconut milk or yoghurt add and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust and taste for salt if needed.

The sauce should be fairly thick and this is achieve by adding water as needed during cooking so should now be right at end of cooking time. Add chopped coriander and stir in.

Note * If cooking prawns or lobster etc. add near end of cooking, also depends if raw or cooked being used. eg. if you add raw prawns to the sauce add about 5 minutes towards end of cooking and have sauce really hot to burn off the water in the prawns or they can water the sauce .

Butternut Squash-Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Curry

2013-10-31T10:32:00.006+00:00

I love this, nourishing vegetable recipe, using roasted butternut squash, baked sweet potato, cauliflower, red onions, coconut cream, garlic, bell pepper and toasted Indian spices. A warming dish, now the weather is getting colder. Pumpkin could be used in place of squash or sweet potato.

The first step is to roast the squash, onions, bell pepper, carrots, garlic bulb, tomatoes and sweet potato till soft.

.water as required
.1tsp. garam masala to sprinkle over finished curry
. My curry is shown served with quinoa for a healthy meal, but any rice, couscous, Nan bread can be used
.other veg, can be added as required

Method

a) Roast squash, peppers, tomatoes, garlic bulb, sweet potato, carrots on a baking tray in a preheated oven at 200*C or 180*C fan oven, till soft, remove garlic, tomato and pepper earlier when cooked before squash and potato is fully cooked, put to one side

b) Put all seeds and bay leaf, cinnamon bark, fenugreek, curry leaves, in a wok or large pan over a medium heat and warm till spices release their aroma, about 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn them, remove and allow to cool. These can now be left whole ( I prefer them whole in a curry as it gives lots of burst of different spice flavour as you eat the curry) or for a smoother sauce, grind them to a powder

c) Add oil to the wok and heat over a medium heat, add toasted spices, and gently heat for 1 minute

d) Add tomato puree, garlic pulp squeezed out of roasted bulb, fresh ginger, chillies and stir for 1 minute to take rawness out of puree, add roasted tomato, and all the dry powder spices, stir fry for 2 minutes

e) Add a cup of water, coconut, mango chutney, salt and pepper, heat to the boil adding more water if needed, turn down to a slow simmer, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed to obtain a fairly thick gravy, cook till gravy and spices infuse about 1 hour

g) Cook on a medium heat while stirring till veg. is completely heated through, about 10 minutes, add coriander and stir in, and sprinkle a tsp. of garam masala over and stir in , add more chopped chilli or cayenne pepper if more heat required

. oil for cooking, I prefer olive oil or coconut oil ( I use extra virgin coconut oil, it is £6 for a small jar but the flavour it gives to a curry is well worth it, also it can be used at high temperatures.)

. a small handful of washed cabbage chopped

. 1 small carrot peeled and chopped

g) At end of cooking stir in coriander and adjust for seasoning, Add 1 tsp of garam masala and mix in.

This curry sauce can be kept for 3-4 days till needed in the fridge

To cook the chicken, I like it slow cooked separately from the curry sauce as the water in to days chicken dilutes the curry sauce, also as I am often cooking a curry on a Sunday and want to go for a beer, I don't want to come home and then start cooking a chicken, this way it can be put in the oven and forgotten for a few hours.

Method for cooking the chicken

Preheat the oven to 140* to 150*C without fan, use lower heat setting if you are out longer than about 2 and 1/2 hours

In an ovenproof dish place the chicken thigh and leg quarters on the bottom and the breasts on top

Spoon a little curry sauce over chicken pieces covering all over

Cover and seal the dish with a double layer of baking foil to keep steam and flavour in.

Cook on 150*C for 2 to 2 and 1/2 hours.

Cook onion in a frying pan and red pepper in a little oil till caramelised.

Cook potatoes and cauliflower in boiling water

Serve with pilau rice

Indian Food Recipes Are Better With This Smoked Spicy Salt

Recipe Type: Other

Author: Dan Toombs

Prep time: 5 mins

Total time: 5 mins

INGREDIENTS

1 250g box of Maldon Sea Salt or similar good quality flaky salt
1 heaping tablespoon freshly ground allspice
1 heaping tablespoon freshly ground cinnamon
1 heaping tablespoon dried mint
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon freshly ground fenugreek
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

Place all of the ingredients into an air-tight container.
Mix well and use as needed.
Enjoy

Almost every Indian curry house has it’s own curry sauce recipe. These curry sauces are made in large batches and used as a base ingredient for many different curries.

The curry sauce makes it possible for chefs to cook, plate and serve mouthwatering curries which would normally take much longer to make. By adding different ingredients to the base curry sauce, Indian chefs can make everything from mild kormas to violently hot phall curries in no time.

Over the years I have tried many different recipes for curry sauce and most of them are quite similar. This curry sauce is the one I use most often when asked to cook restaurant style curries. I’ve also been experimenting with a low fat curry sauce recipe which is very nice. You can view it here.

This curry sauce recipe makes enough for eight curries. Each of the British Indian restaurant style curries on my site serve 3 to 4. If you have leftover sauce, it freezes well. It also keeps in the fridge for up to four days.

Preparation and cooking time: 90 minutes

INGREDIENTS

10 tennis ball sized cooking onions – finely sliced
250ml vegetable oil
10 cloves of garlic – smashed in their skins
2 inch piece of ginger – finely sliced
1 carrot – peeled and chopped
1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
1 red bell pepper – diced
water
400ml ( 1 tin ) chopped tomatoes
4 tablespoons ghee
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon coriander powder
1 tablespoon ground fenugreek seeds
1 tablespoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste ( I usually leave this out and simply add it to the final dish)

This curry sauce recipe is featured in my new ebook for

Kindle, iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac and PC right here!

Method

Place the ginger and garlic with about a half pint of the water in a blender and pulverize to a smooth paste. Set aside.

Now pour the oil into a large heavy bottomed saucepan and heat until bubbling.

Throw in the sliced onions, bell pepper, carrot and cabbage/lettuce and cook slowly over a medium heat in the oil. Allow the vegetables to fry – stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes. You want to brown the vegetable lightly but not burn them.

When the onions are translucent and soft, add the ginger and garlic mixture the rest of the spices except for the turmeric.

Finally, add the tomatoes and just enough water (about 2 cups/ 500ml) to cover cover the vegetables.

Bring to a boil and then cover turn the temperature down. Simmer for about 30 minutes. As you do this, a froth will rise to the top. This is okay. No need to skim.

After 30 minutes, remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

You’re almost there now.

Scoop the mixture in batches into a blender and blend until silky smooth. I usually do this for about two minutes per batch. Actually I cheat and use one of those hand held blenders which I strongly recommend purchasing if you don’t have one.

Once your sauce is smooth and looking good, melt the ghee in a frying pan. Add the turmeric powder. It will darken as it cooks. You want to brown it for about a minute.

Now add the turmeric/ghee mixture to the sauce and bring to a simmer again. Once it is bubbling away, turn down the heat and simmer for a further 20 to 30 minutes

Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to four days or freeze.

I love this, nourishing vegetable recipe, using roasted butternut squash, baked sweet potato, cauliflower, red onions, coconut cream, garlic, bell pepper and toasted Indian spices. A warming dish, now the weather is getting colder. Pumpkin could be used in place of squash or sweet potato.

The first step is to roast the squash, onions, bell pepper, carrots, garlic bulb, tomatoes and sweet potato till soft.
