MEAT CURRY

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

375g of chicken, beef or lamb
1 clove of garlic
2cm (1 inch) piece of fresh ginger
2 onions
2 tablespoons of sunflower oil
200g (? a 400g tin) of plum tomatoes*
1 teaspoon of chilli powder
1 tablespoon of garam masala
? a teaspoon of ground turmeric
250ml of water

METHOD

Put the oil into a saucepan on a medium heat!. Put the meat, onions, garlic and ginger into the pan!. Cook for 20 minutes until the meat is cooked thoroughly!. Stir frequently to stop it sticking!.

Open the tin of tomatoes!. Pour the juice into a bowl!. Chop the tomatoes while they are still in the can (it’s easier than chasing them around the bowl)!. Put the chopped tomatoes into the bowl!. Use half and save the other half!.

Put the chopped tomatoes into the pan!. Continue to cook, stirring as the mixture boils!. Add the chilli, garam masala and turmeric, and stir!. Add the water!. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat until it is just boiling (simmering)!. Put the lid on the saucepan and cook for 30 minutes!.

ADDITIONS & ALTERATIONS

The quantity of chilli powder above makes for a medium curry!. For a hot one, increase this to 1? teaspoons!.

For a mild one, add 100ml (? a 200ml pot) of yoghurt 5 to 10 minutes before the end of cooking!. Add ? a teaspoon of mint sauce to the leftover yoghurt to make some mint raita!.

* Plum tomatoes can be used either whole or chopped!. It is difficult to stick chopped tomatoes back together again if you need to use them whole!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Description
This is the basis for many of the restaurant-style curries you'll find here!. The recipe makes between 8 and 9 fl oz of Sauce which is enough for 2 main course curries or a main course and some side dishes!. The recipe doesn't work as well if you try to make a smaller portion!. It will double nicely if you're making a number of curries but you will need to extend the cooking time a bit!. If you have some sauce left over it will keep in good condition in the freezer but only for a few weeks!. Even small amounts are useful for making a quick one-portion curry, it goes a long way!. Remember to wrap it up well or your ice-cream may take on a strange taste!!.

Ingredients


3 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee (clarified butter)
1 medium onion - finely chopped
4 cloves garlic - peeled and sliced
1!.5 inch piece root ginger - peeled and thinly sliced (it should look about the same volume as the garlic)
(optional) 2 mild fleshy green chillies - de-seeded and veined then chopped
half teaspoon turmeric powder
half teaspoon ground cumin seed
half teaspoon ground coriander seed
5 tablespoons plain passata (smooth, thick, sieved tomatoes, US = purée) or 1 tablespoon concentrated tomato purée (US = paste) mixed with 4 tablespoons water
Method
Heat the oil in a heavy pan then add the chopped onion and stir for a few minutes with the heat on high!.
Add the ginger, garlic and green chilli (if using)!. Stir for 30 seconds then put the heat down to very low!.
Cook for 15 minutes stirring from time to time making sure nothing browns or burns!.
Add the turmeric, cumin and coriander and cook, still very gently, for a further 5 minutes!. Don't burn the spices or the sauce will taste horrid - sprinkle on a few drops of water if you're worried!.
Take off the heat and cool a little!. Put 4 fl oz cold water in a blender, add the contents of the pan and whizz until very smooth!. Add the passata and stir!.
Put the puréed mixture back into the pan and cook for 20 - 30 minutes (the longer the better) over very low heat stirring occasionally!. You can add a little hot water if it starts to catch on the pan but the idea is to gently "fry" the sauce which will darken in colour to an orangy brown!. The final texture should be something like good tomato ketchup!.

Add extra chillies if you want it hotter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
