Bought a chicken on offer from Morrisons for Sunday dinner for ?4 but decided to keep the breasts and just have a roast thigh and drumstick eash (chicken quarter) for  dinner.  Took the breasts off and found that the two breasts came to 24 oz in weight (probably enough for 3 good curries.  The thighs and drumsticks are quite big too so they would be enough for 2 or 3 more curries if thats what you wanted.  Of course there is some carcass left for making stock.  Even when the offer ends a chicken at a fiver has to be good value.

Hello All,  Im a Newbie here and loving the site, Im a bit of a curryholic but since finding the site I havent been inside a takeaway, the reason being I am now making  and enjoying my own curries.  The number of base sauce recipes is incredible  but whilst Im sure most of them are very nice Ive decided to keep things as simple as possible.  What surprises me is the time spent making the different sauces anything from 1 ? 2 hours being the norm so I thought I would put down my recipe using a pressure cooker which takes around 20 minutes and has given excellent results.  Probably the takeaways  don?t use pressure cookers because they cant get them big enough for the quantities they use ? anyway heres what I do

Cooking Equipment / Use of a pressure cooker

Posted this elsewhere on the forum but perhaps this is the most appropriate forum so Ive copied it below

Just joined the forum today and been getting familiar with the different sections etc.  Just thought Id pass on this method I use to make the sauce using a pressure cooker.  It can probably be adapted to make any of the gravies of your choice.  Im a refugee from the 'other' site and have been using their base sauce with some success.  The problem was the time involved and the smell of the onions cooking away for 2 hours or so which didnt make me too popular with the missus.  Anyway to cut a long story short I used a pressure cooker and it only took 20 mins to make 1500ml of really smooth gravy with a minimum of fuss and very little smell.  I know its not traditional but its the end product that counts and trust me the gravy is spot on.  Anyone interested in more info just pm me.
