Curry...!!

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

For nourishing, tasty comfort food it's hard to beat a simple dal... and there's always a load left over for the freezer :-)
I like it with a big dollop of mango chutney, a good squeeze of lemon and plenty of corriander leaves on the top Mmmmmmm

I like to make curry outdoors to save wrecking the kitchen. I sold off most of my paraffin stoves when we were supposed to be moving - do any of you use a Coleman 2 burner dual-fuel stove for curry duties?

Its ok I have the book, I did use one of his recipes for naan once it tasted great but there were issues of execution, which I plan to remedy using my pizza oven. Theres 2 IIRC in the curry bible. Which one are you on?

@Brewnaldo I'm working from Page 306 "Authentic Naans"

I very slightly tweaked it like this:

• 450g plain flour
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 150 mg semi skimmed milk
• 1 sachet Sainsbury's instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 egg
• 140mg greek yogurt (I used the 'Kri Kri authentic greek' from Waitrose)

Weigh all ingredients into the basin of the stand mixer and give it 10 mins on speed 2 with the dough hook.
Cover and stand for 4hrs until it looks like something from Quatermass and the Pit
Wet your hand and punch it down, then scrape out onto floured work surface and divide into 12 balls.
Heat a cast iron skillet, dry, until it's about to melt. Keep the heat on full whack - no need to add oil at any stage.
Liberally flour a ball of dough, roll out as thin as you can then (optional) scatter with nigella seeds.
Slap into the pan and give it a minute until it bubbles up and goes brown underneath (1 min?) - then flip for a further 30 sec.
Keep warm on a tray in the oven while you do the rest.
Flippin' gorgeous.

Yum looks the business. I learnt to do something similar in Leicester years back, buttermilk instead of semi, but role two thin Nan and inbetween put a fairly dry layer of grated fresh or desiccated coconut, mashed dates sultanas and ground almonds, or more savoury version spinach and grated paneer, then role out gently, meal in itself!

Excellent! Yes, funnily enough my wife and I were discussing last night about whether you could do that - I love a stuffed Naan...

Is that your Goa to curry?

Good grief...

Dan Toombs Mango chutney - took a long time to cook down to the right consistency; smells good

 

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

Chicken Rezala - much better than the first time I made it, but the sauce was finished with cream and the Mrs found it a bit rich…
