I'm sure some of you will have seen Latif's Inspired YouTube channel. This week I made one of his 'One Pot' curries, where no base gravy is needed. Just for a change.
https://youtu.be/-GR7ElV5WeEI made a slight variation, as was cooking for the missis too - leaving out the chilli powder, adding a single dried red chilli and added 2 tsp of the excellent balti paste shared by our man Livo.

Latif has a few dishes on his channel using this method. Nothing particularly new about it, we've all seen more traditional curries where onions are cooked down, but I have to say, this worked well for me.
Interestingly, he seems to use the same spice mix across different dishes, varying only the chilli powder.
2 tsp curry powder
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
x tsp chilli powder
He also adds the kasuri methi and garam masala near the end. Not sure of the significance.
The vindaloo will be my next cook.
This is well worth a bash if you're out of Mick's base.
