Topic: Curry with no name

[pauly58]

I went to the freezer to get my last tub of base gravy only to find it was cooked lentils, problem.

So, in desperation really, I finely diced half an onion, fried it gently until lightly golden brown, added a heaped teaspoon of ginger/garlic paste, then a tablespoon of tomato puree , a tablespoon of mix powder, a teaspoon of chilli powder, two finely chopped green chillies & a couple of cherry tomatoes cut in half.

I loosened the mix with a little juice from some tinned tomatoes, now what to do for some sauce. I dissolved half a chicken oxo cube in less than half a pint of water & added it to the pan along with my pre cooked chicken. Simmered until the oil lifted to the surface, then a pinch of sugar & some salt.

Time for tasting. Amazed myself, it was really a very tasty curry, something of a hybrid between BIR & home cooked, delicious.

Try adding a tin of tomato soup to what you have above (without the chicken stock ) ,you might be even more amazed
