Curry...!!

[Dutto]

Wow!

Planted 4th April and look what popped their heads up yesterday and this morning!

TWO Cayenne Pepper plants! (You may have to search for the second one! Clue is “Top Left of Planter”!

Looks like I will now have to invest in some fertiliser! Any advice much appreciated.

Has anyone tried Misty's naan recipe? Had a sneaky curry late last night just using one and half tablespoons of his Spice Mixture and two small green chillies in addition to the usual ingredients. It was a bit too hot for me, but nice. I had it with a naan. One of those giant 'hand made' things. That was a mistake. It tasted like cardboard.

I use Dan Toombs restaurant naan recipe (he has 2 in the book). Its an absolute piece of piss to make, the dough freezes well and the naans are great. Well worth doing. Assume Mistys will be similar

I have Toombs' book. I have had it for about three/four years. Maybe longer. Skimmed it and went no further. I think it was just a lack of confidence with spices. My curries based on online 'from scratch' recipes had never turned out well. Their recipes are similar, but not the same. I will give both a go at some point. I have no yoghurt in the fridge, so I'll start with Misty's.

Thanks brewnaldo.

Theres no yoghurt in his restaurant naan recipe IIRC, only his "traditional" one (which I need again to make to compare)

That's right - the restaurant recipe (he calls it 'curry-house naans' in the edition I've got) is risen with self raising flour; whereas his 'authentic' one uses greek yogurt, dried yeast and baking powder.

I haven't tried the 'curry-house' one because it's got quite a lot of sugar in it (why?!) but I can fully vouch for the 'authentic ones':

That little lot was from 900g of flour. I didn't really see the need to brush them with ghee but I'm sure they'd look nice if you did

Would that be West Indian style?

I must admit I do put the sugar in, but less than what he suggests. I dont see the need for it either.

I then brush them with garlic butter and finish under the grill generally, just to take the raw off the garlic.

Yes mate, easy to make and delicious.

Same book?

There are three naan recipes in mine. Naans (with yoghurt), Peshawari Naans and Keema Naans.

Na, as TETB mentioned theres another one he calls curry house naan that uses neither yoghurt nor yeast. Its the Curry Guy Bible i've got which I beleive is an amalgamation of books.

Found it.



Wasn't about to buy another book just for a naan recipe.

Got a curry on with chicken drumsticks

Misty Ricardo Bhuna curry from volume 1 book for me tonight.
Love his recipes

 

[Brewnaldo]

I made Dan Toombs korma the other day. It was really good. I mean obviously, you have to like korma, but im doing gateway stuff for my young kids atm so its ideal. I would consider leaving the cream out entirely next time.

 

[Clint]

I prepped the chicken last night and I'll cook it later. Doing a bhuna tonight.

Hello all!
Tonight I'm most desperate for curry as I've not made one for a while. This is exasperated as last night,while fishing my stove gave up (my fault),so I'm starving..
So tonight it's chicken tikka madras..

Just knocking up a bog standard lamb curry

 

[Alastair70]

Land Dhansak, cooked in the pressure cooker last night. I’ve got Chana Dal, green lentils, sweet potato and butternut squash in the dall. Diced lamb shoulder with the usual suspects for the meat component. As always, tastes much better tonight. Served with the last pint of my American Amber, the keg kicked as I poured this one.
