oh that looks good, i love sweet potato now i am pondering thai green curry but from a jar. sorry to be a wanker but let's all share curry recipes
cptcoathanger, how very dar you
chilli powder
Chicken
Potatoes
Garlic
Onion
Sugar
Milk
Stock
veggies of your choice
and any extra spices of your choice
get those then i shall try and remember what to do
you might want to do this all in a big saucepan
fry off the diced/finely cut onion AND garlic
whack in the spices garam masala and chilli powder and fry them off, dont overdo it or your nose will die, and your throat will explode upon tasting
teaspoon of each maybe with a table spoon of garam masala
Once thats going nice you want to add your chicken into it and get it nice and well coated in the spices
then mix a bit of cornflour into your liquid which will be 2/3 stock 1/3 milk
(The milk cools it and adds a bit of thickness) you will want a fair bit of this since youll need to cover all your meat and veggies, and have more to keep them covered aswell
add this to the pan with enough to cover the potatoes that your going to add
add the potatoes and veggies
leave to cook
keep checking back on it to make sure its not getting to dry, add more of the liquid if it is
THen when its nearly done taste it, if its too spicy
add some milk or sugar, it will cool it down
try it before then if you can
i havnt made one in a while
this is just from memory
have fun
spices- 1tsp of each
*cumin
*chilli powder (obv if you want it milder, adjust the amount you use)
*fenugreek
*tandoori curry powder (the red stuff)
*mild/medium/hot curry powder (you can use homemade but i just use shop bought)
*Turmeric
*Salt & Pepper to taste
Fresh stuff-
Coriander (about half a bunch but less if you dnt like it so much)
Garlic (i use about 4 bits)
Onion (1 or 2 depending how much you like it)
Mushrooms (i usually use 5/6)
4 x chicken breasts
4 x medium/small potatoes
7/8 tbsp natural yoghurt
splash of milk to taste
1 cup rice
Method-
dice potatoes and par-boil (till tender). Dice chicken and cook in a bit of oil with chopped garlic and onion till cooked through. Chuck in all spices together and mix 'em about (you can add 1/2 tsp of chilli... taste and then add more) Throw in mushrooms and cook. Constantly stir so nothing sticks.
Remove from the heat for a min and add the drained potatoes. Now add the yoghurt a bit at a time until you have the consistency you like. Taste it after you've mixed up the yoghurt and add the splash of mix if it's a bit tart. Cook the rice, and serve
Variations- you can use lamb or beef (yumm) and you can substitute the yoghurt for coconut milk. You can also add chopped tomatoes after browning the meat but make you sure adjust the amount of yoghurt/coconut milk accordingly.
Done!!! this can be really easily frozen and tastes even better the next day. It's quite an addictive taste!
i was just thinking yesterday you havent posted for aaages! get back here lady!
Was proper lush, he had spent like a year in Asia and had found out the paste recipies from locals, making them up himself. So I'm guessing they taste pretty authentic. He said this one came from Pakistan.
So yeah, not much help unless you find this Hippy in Australia, but google recipies for Massaman curry.
This is one will give a good idea (though I would use more tomatoes and add fresh corrianda).

You can add chicken if you want, though I don't see the point.
