THE INFAMOUS CURRY RECIPE

 

 This will make enough for 4-6 people, depending on how hungry/greedy they are

     

Wash yer ‘ands.  Then take an old battered wok (or big saucepan) with a little oil in it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


These are the ingredients

2 large onions, a pack of chicken breasts, a carton of mushrooms, a tub of single cream, proper or lazy garlic in a tube, tomato puree, 2 cans of tomatoes, ground coriander, curry powder,(the make I use is Alam Geer curry masala from any good Asian Super market) Garam masala, salt, and  a can of lager.

 

  

Peel and dice the onions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Place in the wok with the garlic - I was lazy and used the stuff from the tube, all proper cooks will now die in the sheer horror of using  lazy garlic but I like it.

 

 

 

Dice the chicken into about 1” cubes and add to the pan.  Now wash yer ‘ands again as you’ve been handling raw chicken.  Fry well together until all the chicken is cooked and there are no pink bits, and the onions and garlic have gone translucent. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Now wash and slice the mushrooms,

 

  

Add them to the pan you can see the chicken is cooked

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a drink now while this lot cooks

 

   

Take 2 or 3 teaspoons of ground coriander and mix in to the chicken and mushrooms

 

 

Now blend the 2 cans of tomatoes and add this to the pan as well

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Give it a good stir and add about a tablespoon of tomatoe puree.   Simmer for about 10 mins

 

  

Go on have another drink

 

 

Add about 3 heaped teaspoons of the curry powder and a level teaspoon of Garam Masala

 

 Stir well

 

 

Look I am having fun (you can tell by my face)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Remove from the heat and add the tub of single cream, mix it in very well and then put it back on the heat to simmer for about another ten minutes

 

  It should by now look like this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


I use Basmati rice, about a cupful (this is enough to serve 2 people, double quantity for 4).  Always use double the quantity of water to rice, so if you use one cup of rice its two of water and a little salt.  Bring it to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes.  When cooked rinse with boiling water before serving.

 

   Finished.   Enjoy it

 

DISCLAIMER: If you poison yourself its not my fault,  curry powder should be heated when cooked to at least 65c.
