Thanks Uncle buck.
Just had a look at the Jalfrezi recipe, any idea what the "curry powder" is made up of? wonder if its a garahm masala?

No curry powder is diffrent from Garam Masala

see pic. The rajah brand is best

Thanks for the pics, I wanted to make it myself so was looking for the individual ingredients in the "curry powder".
I'm nipping into twon now to get the fresh stuff, if I see a packet i'll have a look on the back and "rip" it off.
cheers for your help, unckle, wicked site mate!

if making Jalfrezi then i feel the kushi spice mix to produce the best result and Admins recipe is well worth a go

Well I have to say that was the best Ruby I've ever made and I've cooked a few.
The base was made with chicken stock, blended garlic and ginger, loads of browned onions, peppers and a tin of toms. Cooked for 2 hours then blended. No spices though.

Marinated the chicken in yogurt and fresh ground spices. Heated fenugreek, pepper corns, cumin and coriander seeds in cast iron frying pan then grounded them.

Heated oil in a pan then dropped 6 cardamom pods into the oil. fryed the chicken for a few mins to brown then added the gravy and fresh green chillies before simmerring for 30 mins. Seasoned to taste with salt and lemon juice, garnished with fresh coriander and scoffed with basmati rice and Bombay potatoes.

The accompaniments were onion and cauli bhajis, fresh yogurt raita, chopped red onion and toms with lemon juice salt pepere and fresh coriander.

Ate with bought chappaties and loads of cold larger.
