Topic: Wanted, easy and fast recipe for chicken or prawn curry.

[jakey]

Hi guys!   First post , so here goes.  I am wanting to try a very basic recipe for a nice hot curry. Me and the missus both enjoy a take-away ( hopefully a thing of the past soon! ) and as this will be my first go at making a chicken/prawn curry, i was just wondering if anyone had a very simple recipe for a first timer. i dont have much in the way of ingredients yet, but will stock up soon.
 Thanks for any help and advice

Welcome to cr0 Jakey 

It depends how much effort you wish to put in Jakey.  If you wish yo replicate the "British Indian Restaurant (BIR) taste and smell", you should invest a little time making up a curry base first (recipes here: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=2.0) and then make the madras/vindaloo (recipes here: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=3.0)

Also check out this thread to help you find your way around the site: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1848.0

However, if you want a "quick start", maybe try Admin's (i.e. Stew's) recently posted curry base here:  http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1894.0 and his Madras recipe here: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1905.0

(BIR) recipes don't come much simpler than these and they have had some rave reviews from some quarters     This base is undoubtedly best suited to darker, hotter type curries (e.g. Madras/Vindaloo).

Please let us know how you get on or if you need any more help
