Title: Tikka fest
Post by: SoberRat on December 23, 2016, 02:20 PM

I spent the morning cooking a nice spread for guests yesterday which was enjoyed by all. 3 of the curries had a very mild but good depth of flavour starting with a chicken tikka curry, nice delicate flavoured sauce with the tikka coming through well. This was followed by a chicken tikka saag, a very similar recipe without masala sauce but a little added ground cinnamon and fresh spinach. Up next was a mixed veg curry, dryish but nice delicate spicing and nice precooked vegetables coming through well. After this came some hotter dishes. A chicken tikka pathia full of sweet, sour and fairly hot flavours and a nice spicy and rich chicken tikka vindaloo which to my delight no one else sampled. This all went down well with a big mound of fluffy pilau rice and drinks.

Looks like you've got this curry lark mastered. Not sure about that horrrible bowl of green stuff with nuts though?  ;D

Hi Damien, sorry it's taken a while to reply. I didn't use a rice cooker it was just cooked in a standard non-stick saucepan. First I fry the whole spices in oil until they pop a little bit and then add the rice and keep stirring it until the rice changes colour (it changes to a much more solid white) then add boiling water and salt. For each cup of rice I use 1.4-1.5 cups of water. I stir this once, put on the lid and wait for the water to be absorbed on the lowest flame. Once the water is all gone I turn off the heat and leave it for a few minutes. The rice is sometimes a bit al dente but I normally cool it quickly and leave it in the fridge overnight and just microwave it when I need it. This final heating steams the rice and makes it nice and fluffy but also nicely separated. I've included some pics below.
