Topic: One pot curry series

[Robbo141]

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.

I 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.

Also to finish, added 1 tsp mango chutney.  It made for an excellent curry. Not BIR by any means, but very, very tasty.

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.

It's amazing what some of the Bangladeshi chefs can do with those four spices.  Staff curry/desi style.  Usually knocks into touch most of the BIR stuff they turn out.

I'm glad you're enjoying that paste. I love it and recommend others give it a go. It really doesn't take long to make up and it's quite simple. Well worth it.  I like Latif's channel.  He is a very genuine guy who appears to enjoy sharing his knowledge and skills.
