Topic: Daag curry base: the most useful curry recipe you'll ever read

[Naga]

Well, maybe not quite that!

For those who aren't avid readers of The Telegraph (and I count myself in that number), you might have missed the Food & Drink section which is actually pretty good.

The article highlighted today is basically to punt a new book, Indian Kitchen: The Secrets of Indian Home Cooking by Maunika Gowardhan. But there are a couple of recipes there that might be of interest, Chicken Daagh Mein Murgh, and Daag, a stripped down base billed as "the ultimate curry base".

This is the link to the article.

Is 'bother' now on the list of unacceptable words?

We may never know.  But what a feast of delights this book clearly holds; I am not sure I can wait until May 7th ...

I've seen this kind of traditional/ base sauce idea mentioned in a couple of places. It seems like a strange idea, why not just make a traditional curry for 8 or more, then freeze it. I can't see what time you gain, unless you're short on freezer space. Not convinced its not just a new way of seperating fools from their money  .

As I suggested right at the top, the rest of the Food and Drink section is worth a rummage - there's some good stuff in there. And if your politics won't allow contributions to The Telegraph's click-through advertising, there's always Adblock Plus!

For those of a different persuasion, The Guardian's food section is pretty good too!

I know, I was just calling Phil a fool .

I used to get myself a broadsheet in on a Sunday and loved the food section (usually the Times) until it just got too expensive. I didn't know the 'torygraph' was free, so thanks for the heads-up. I believe in the theory that you should never read a newspaper that agrees with your political opinion.
