Looks great.
Care to share the exact recipe's?
Sure. Although this may upset the purists I cook this as one for four people, still seems to give bags of flavour. Will try a double portion sometime to see if that improves it to a 10/10!
For four people:
800ml base gravy (I use Kris Dhillons gravy from Curry Secrets)
4 tablespoons of Garlic/ginger paste
2 tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with a little water
1 tablespoon of coriander powder
1 tablespoon of cumin powder
1 tablespoon of fenugreek leaves
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 tablespoon of curry powder mix, use your favourite
Chilli powder to taste, I just use 1 teaspoon
Jaggery or sugar to taste (I use 1 tablespoon)
Salt to taste, I use a tablespoon
Pinch of garam Masala powder
Juice of a lemon
150ml of single cream
1 tablespoon of butter
Enough chicken tikka for four people, I make this using Julian Voigt's recipe on YouTube.
1 tablespoon of coconut flour
2 tablespoons of veg oil
1/2 teaspoon of red food dye powder mixed with a little water
Method
Heat the pan to very hot
Add oil and heat to hot
Add garlic and ginger paste and fry until it stops sizzling
Add tomato paste mix and cook for about one minute
Add all the spices and except the garam Marsala along with the Jaggery/sugar and cook for one minute, adding a little base gravy if needed to loosen it up
Add the chicken and coat and cook for 1 minute
Add 150ml of gravy, which has been preheated, and cook down until it reduces
Keep adding 150ml of gravy and cooking down until all gravy has been used.
Stir in coconut powder thoroughly
Cook until you get a consistency that is slightly thicker than what you want
Reduced heat a little
Add the cream and food dye and mix through
Add lemon juice and cook for another minute
Add butter one tablespoon at a time and mix in
Sprinkle with garam Marsala to taste
Hope I haven't missed anything!
. Hopefully a steep learning curve that will take me closer to curry nirvana.I'm leaving it till tomorrow, it's now to late I had to do a ridiculous trip to collect my car! Went to tesco's and guess what? No spices that I needed and they don't sell ginger? Grrrrrr I will scour the land for methi leaves I need an Asian supermarket, so next question I need to stock up on everything anybody know anywhere? I live in the hills above abington Scotland if anybody knows it
