My wife might be lying to me but she reckons the curry I make is better than the curry. A bit of a faff to make but lovely. I would like to blend my own coriander as opposed to using the spice from a bottle. |  |

Easy to make your own as the jars are full of preservatives.
Put some cumin seeds in a pan with some vegetable oil and when they start to sizzle add some chopped ginger and garlic.
Cook for one minute then add about 2 or 3 large chopped onions. Cook these until soft and then add either a can of chopped tomatoes or fresh ones and cook until soft.
Add a teaspoon of garam masala, a teaspoon of cumin, a teaspoon of tumeric and a teaspoon of chilli powder or if you prefer used chopped fresh red chillis. Add salt to taste.
Cook for another 5 minutes and add in some freshly chopped coriander,
Take off the heat and allow to cool.
Put the mixture into a blender and pulse into a thick puree sauce. You can then put this back into the pan and add whatever meat or veg you want. Personally i like paneer into this masala.

Thanks for that.
One question for Mrs Ebo. Lets say you using chicken breast do you cook this first then add to the sauce and warm through or do you cook it in the sauce. |  |

I'm curious too. I marinade the chicken and put it in the curry after it is cooked and this seems to make the following day portions even nicer | |

She's a vegetarian but she said that depending on what you are making you can marinade it first - usually for Korma or tandoori dishes or simply just brown it in oil with cumin seeds and then add later.
That recipe I posted gives you a very thick masala sauce like you get in restaurants, | |

This is my favourite Aloo Chaat.
Boil a few spuds (peeled) and let them cool.
Cut into little chunks and put some oil and cumin seeds into pan.
When the seeds start to sizzle put in your potatoes and cook until golden on all sides - a but like roasties.
Get half a teaspoon of either chaat masala or garam masala, half teaspoon of chilli powder, half teaspoon of cumin and mix in a bowl with a little salt.
Take potatoes out of the pan and sprinkle and mix the spice mixture into them.
Serve into a fresh bowl with freshly chopped coriander and a good squeeze of lemon juice,
Serve with coriander chutney (blitz some coriander, mint, garlic clove and coconut yoghurt in a blender)
This is a lovely dish. | |

Hotter curries you would be using more amounts of chilli powder. For a vindaloo or a phall you would be using around 3-4 teaspoons of kashmiri red chilli powder.
Jalfrezi is a british dish which she has never tried but it's mostly onions, peppers and chillies plus chilli powder. Just add little amounts while cooking and alter the heat level to your taste. | |

One final tip and this is a game changer.
If you but flatbreads or naans from the supermarket, warm them in a flat dry pan on high heat.
If you have a gas stove, finish them off by putting them directly on the flame to char them. You will see them bubbling up. Dab some melted butter or ghee if you have if over them to add the finishing touch. | |

Made a chicken curry today, with onion Bhajis, getting them right is a little more tricky than the curry. | |

Bhajis can be tricky, Mrs rarely makes them but does some banging roti and paratha. Also these nice lentil kebabs which i am addicted to. | |

They are tricky, messy as well, but worth it if you get them just right.
Haven't tried making roti or the other stuff, it's taken me ages to master the onion Bhajis. | |

This is easy.
Get about 2 litres of full fat milk and bring to a boil gently in a pan. Squeeze a large lemon into it and very gently stir. You will see the curds separating at the top leaving clear liquid underneath.
Put some muslin cloth over a collander and pour the liquid through it keeping the curds. Wrap the curds in the cloth tight and put a weight on it an leave for 30 mins then place in the fridge for 3 hours,
You now have paneer - indian cheese which is lovely in currys. | |

I've only made onion bhaji's a couple of times as they are so messy.
I'm going to have a go at Ebo's roti instruction and the aloo chaat. My daughter is a vegetarian so it may appease her. | |

Temperature is also key. If you add chicken to a bubbling sauce then the water inside the chicken breast will boil too, destroying the texture and leaving the meat. So the result will be dry and tasteless.
Always lower the temperature so the sauce isn't boiling then add the meat. This is true for all sauces not just curries.
Meat boiled is meat spoiled as the saying goes. | | | |

The best way I found to make Onion bhajis is, don't add water.
2 large tablespoons of gram flour, 1 teaspoon of Turmeric, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, half teaspoon of salt and mix dry ingredients well.
Thinly slice the onions, then add to the dry mixture, mix well by hand, squeezing together until the moisture comes out of the onions (rather than add water).
Only use one hand to do this, keep the other clean to save getting the mix over any utensils and other parts of the kitchen.
Drop balls of raw bhaji mixture into hot oil, keep turning with a slotted spoon until golden brown (about 3 minutes).
Enjoy  | |

Sounds like a goer - certainly on the menu for our next curry night.
Trying out protein high slow cooker curry recipes at the moment. I will say that the amount of prep needed, you might as well cook the normal one. It is a lot less fatty though. | |
