                     SOUTH INDIAN QUISINE.

Ingredients:-

    4 Aubergines (round variety)
    1 Tsp Salt
    1/2 Tsp White pepper
    1 Large onion
    4oz/100g.Ghee
    4oz/100g.Peas
    4oz/100g.Carrots
    8oz/225g.Tomatoes
    1/2 Tsp Paprika
    1 Tsp finely chopped ginger

    Mint or Parsley for garnish.

METHOD

     1. Wash aubergines, remove thick leafy sepals at the top of each one. Boil in
        slightly salted water for about 10Min's. They should now be half cooked.

     2. Cut each one into halves and scoop out the pulp leaving about 1/2" all
        the way around. Now season the cases with a pinch of salt and white pepper.

     3. In a heavy frying pan fry the chopped onions lightly in the ghee. Then add
        the peas( fresh/dried or frozen not tinned)and the washed and diced carrots.

     4. Now take the aubergine pulp and chop it and add this to the frying pan with
        the peeled and chopped tomatoes. Cook gently till all the vegetables are
        cooked.

     5. Now add the paprika, the rest of the salt and the finely chopped ginger.
        Stir for 2Min's.

     6. Arrange the aubergine halves in a baking tray and fill each case with
        the fried pulp. Now place the tray in an oven. Gas mark 4.350F and bake
        for approximately 20Min's, until golden brown.

     7. Serve garnished with mint/parsley.

Hi Fandango,  ;) according to the paper its from The Kajal Restaurant Park Hall, Walsall. West Midlands. The Chef`s name is Norris Ali.
Might give it a try. How many servings do you suppose it does? Maybe 1/4 tsp of cinnamon instead.

                              cheers matey...........  ;D ;D ;D

Hi all,  ;D I work in Birmingham, and was there on Saturday morning. I was half listening to the radio and it came on the news that a Balti Resturant in the town was opening it`s kitchen to anyone who was interested in finding out how they made a Balti curry, and also giving you the chance to have a go yourself. Unfortunately I missed a lot of this item, so I wondered if any of my fellow midlanders caught it? It was on Capital Gold around 11.O'Clock. Did anyone attend it? Was it a one off?

                                 ;D ;) ;D

This was in our local paper on Saturday. It`s from a BIR that was featured in the entertainment section.

  2 tbs of vegetable oil
  1 red and 1 green sweet pepper cut into 1/2" squares
  1 medium onion cut into fairly large pieces
  red and green chillies -deseeded and veined and coarsely chopped. The quantity and variety is optional
  1tsp whole cumin seeds
  4 chicken breasts,skinned and cut into bite sized pieces
  1tsp paprika
  1tsp turmeric
  1/2tsp ground cinnamon
  a batch of base sauce ( no info printed on that so use any base you have made up )
  1tsp concentrated tomato puree
  1 tsp gar-am masala and a pinch of salt to taste.

       METHOD:-

   Heat a little in a wok
   Add peppers and stir fry until they go a little brown at the edges. Remove
      from wok
   Put a little more oil in wok,heat through,then add some chicken pieces and
      stir fry until they sealed and have turned white. Cook in batches.
   Add rest of oil to wok and heat
   Add the onion pieces,chopped chillies and cumin seeds and stir fry until onion
      is translucent
   Add the paprika,turmeric and cinnamon and stir fry
   Return chicken pieces to wok along with base sauce, tomato puree and salt
   bring to a simmer and then cook on low heat for 30Min's or until chicken is cooked.
      Add a little hot water if the sauce gets too thick
   10 Min's from the end, stir peppers and gar-am masala into sauce
   serve in heated individual balti dishes.

Thats all there is, doesn`t say how many it serves but I think maybe 3-4. Might give it a try this week end.
Will post if I do.

It is a recipe from a Indian Restaurant chef so could be worth a try.......  ;D ;D
