Hey Guys,

Since i started making BIR curries, i've put on about 2 stone. I'm now on the atkins diet trying to burn it off.  : I'm just wondering if any of you have experimented with low carb curries. I'd like to make a stab at something that tastes good but is acceptable on this diet. Any ideas you guys could give me?

Cheers!

Ok Guys, this is recipe i made up while trying to copy (as best as i could) the Kashmiri Masala from my local takeaway.

It's a rich and spicy curry with a nice sweet coconut undertone.

The cooking basic's are the same as your normal BIR curry, but the my twisted ingredients are;

3 Tbsp Butter Ghee
1 Tbsp Garlic Puree/Paste (store bought or homemade)
1 Tbsp Mix powder
1 Tbsp Tomato Paste
1 pinch of salt
1 or more Tsp of chilli powder
1 Chefs spoon Precooked onions and peppers
Pre-coocked Chicken Tikka (Lamb also kicks ass with this!)
400ml of Base (which ever you is your favorite)
1 tsp Pataks Tandoori Paste
1 tsp of Pataks Tikka Paste
1 Chef's spoon of Coconut powder
1 Chef's spoon of sugar
400ml of Base (which ever you is your favorite)
Red food colouring (if desired, my takeaway's one is very red/pink in colour)
Lots of fresh coriander
Cook till the gravy is thick and sticky in consistency and garnish with a few Birdseye or finger chilies

Give it a shot and i'd love to know what you guys think

Hey guys, one of my first posts here but i've been a member for a while.

I've had great success when making a base gravy (Using; onion, garlic, ginger, tomato, carrot, bell pepper, potato and mix powder) but instead of using fresh veg oil i have used oil from my fryer (which has been used for pakora's and samosa's etc... I then scoop the oil off the top and use it once again for making the curry. I guess it's safe to use the oil over and over like this and the taste really is divine.

Anybody else do this or am i just a weirdo?

Give it a shot if you can, next time you make a base!

Cheers!
