Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone has a recipe for either Chicken Tikka Massala or Chicken Biryani (preferably not too spicy as DS won't eat anything too hot lol)?
I really fancy a curry tonight - not had one for ages but can't afford to get a takeout :rolleyes:
Any recipes gratefully recieved!
Thanks,
Sarah xx

pataks pastes are great. i fry off a whole chopped onion and 2 crushed cloves of garlic. add two tbsps of pataks balti paste then a tin of chopped toms. cook sauce for a little bit then add chicken (i normally use left over chicken from a roast) i also add spinach to bulk it up. you can eat it that way or add greek yogurt to make it into a creamy sauce...i have to say it's the best tasting curry i've come across (not being big headed, i took the recipe from somewhere else, just can't remember where now!)"a workman, even of the lowest and poorest order, if he is frugal and industrious, may enjoy a greater share of the necessaries and conveniences of life than it is possible for any savage to acquire."0

this is a nice nice one
Diced Chicken
Pataks Tikka Paste
Large Tin Chopped Toms
Can Coconut Milk
Onions
Carrots
Potatoes (chopped small)
Basically whatever you fancy thrown into a large casserole dish and cooked slowly on Gas Mark 4 for a couple of hours. This also works well in a slow cooker. It does make a lot but its fabulous for freezing as well.

Another vote for Pataks tikka masala paste. It's great stuff, I've been using it for years!! A good dish for using up whichever veg are languishing in the bottom of the fridge, although I normally parboil anything hard like carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans or butternut squash, but mushrooms or aubergine you can just chuck straight in.I like cooking with wine......sometimes I even put it in the food!0

This is what I'm currently cooking for tea tonight so a vote for the Pataks! Dh has been away so this is his treat lol
my children 2,5 like the mild one korma I think!it costs nothing to smile:D0 -
you all like pataks - if you only use say a 1/4 of jar, how do you keep the rest of it and for how long. Is it expensive to buy? Thanks0

When I've used part of a jar I tip a small amount of oil in so that all the paste is covered. I keep it for ages - if it hasn't got white fluffy stuff in then it's OK! I always make sure I spoon the paste out with a clean spoon to stop it going mouldy quickly!
I find the Madras paste is lovely - fry onion and chicken, stir in a couple of spoons of Madras paste, tin of chopped tomatoes, most of a tin of coconut milk, coriander at the end. Mmmmmm.0 -
I've made chicken curry for years from a recipe I got at school:
chopped cooked chicken
1 onion
butter/oil
mushrooms if you like them
an apple
1 tbsp flour
milk
1 tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
salt/pepper
1 tbsp pickle
Peel, core and chop the apple and fry with the onion and mushrooms (if you're using them) in the oil or butter, stir in the flour, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp curry powder, half a tsp each of ginger and cinnamon, add milk to make sauce, stir in chicken and pickle. Scoff.
Sorry, not very scientific method, haven't looked at the recipe for years, just go by "feel" now!
You can make it as hot or mild as you like, just use hot or mild curry powder (you can buy Korma, or just a mild one), and put in whatever you like really, I sometimes add coconut milk which makes it very rich but also (unfortunately) very fattening.0 -
for REALLY cheap curry sainsburys basics "curry sauce" is 9p at the moment for a 500g jar (i think)
To me it tastes just like a korma... But guess you could add extra onion, spices, tomato etc????0 -
