Topic: Curry powder

Hi CP,

Sorry i missed your last post but, yes, 300ml should be enough for two, provided your having side or starters.  As for the rice, yes it can be frozen.  To recook, i put it in the microwave on full, for 1 min.  Give it a stir, then cook for a further 2 mins on full.  The rice usually comes out better than when first cooked.

Now you have got your base and spice, why not give the onion paste a go?  It only takes about 15mins including prep!

Hi Razor,yes i will give the onion paste a go once i get a processor as it says to blitz the onions,my weak hand blender just couldnt do that!!

Regarding the rice,no need to defrost first? And would a drop of water in it help?
Thanks for all your help

Yes I would take it to the micro straight from frozen and a few drops of water won't harm it as it should boiled off as it creates a bit of steam. Too much though and you'd end up with watery rice.

Cheers for that Stephen and to think i used to chuck away all my rice!!

I pop mine's into individual Tupperware containers and take them to work for my lunch along with leftover stew, casserole etc (but not curry cause I never have any leftover!!)

Hi CP,

As Steven say's, you could add a couple of tsp of water if you wish, although I don't bother.  The only thing to be careful about is under cooking.  Make sure that your rice is absolutely steaming before you eat it, hot enough to give you a nasty burn.  Under cooked rice can make you seriously ill.  Trust me, I've made this mistake in the past and paid for it dearly.

I agree with Razor Currypot, your rice needs to be well hot.
