I have curry spice powder and all the recipes I find call for paste?!


Question: I have curry spice powder and all the recipes I find call for paste!?
I've looked up pre-made pastes, and their sodium content is just way too high!. I'm new to making curry anything and I don't know how much spice powder to substitute instead of paste!. Any ideas!? Thanks! ^_^Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Ive lived on curries ever since i was a baby! The fool-proof recipe i use when im lazy is

1 Tbsp curry powder (for every 250g of meat)
1 chopped onion
1 clove garlic (optional)

heat oil in pan!.!.!. saute onions!. Add the meat and fry it for a few sec till it browns!. Add the curry powder (you can add upto another tsp if u want a strong curry flavour) and just let it fry for a few min on medium heat!.

Add water and coconut milk (1:1 ratio) and cook till meat is cooked!. (this depends on how much "sauce" you want left)

Hope this helps!! curry powder is what we use at home! it lasts longer! (store pre-made pastes are horrible!!)Www@FoodAQ@Com
