Pot of yellow yoghurty stuff when ordering a curry

Sure! It's a volunteer community thing. Everyone's invited.
And i'm not even remotely a practising religious person..

Are you Sikh though?

Are you Sikh though?

Why does it matter?
Since you ask, yes, but not a practising one. I'm an agnostic but i like to study the history and stuff in general..

Couple of rennie before bedtime should sort you out. <boom boom>

I fear times may have moved on since that joke would have been socially acceptable though.

See you after the ban, I hope.

I am impressed too. Not sure but since my "episode" I can't be arsed with pubs and chatting to people. Since I am drinking at home I drink less since there's no one in the round to keep up with.

As YAB has explained explained before, sheesh!

I make a good curry, but use All Spice instead of Garam Masala.

I make my own curries too, not had a takeaway for ages.

Last curry house I went to served boiled chicken with a "I feel like chicken tonight" curry sauce poured over the top.

Rank.

Here's one I made earlier:


2 tablespoons butter
2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
285ml/1/2 pint stock or water
1.5kg/3 1/2lb leg of lamb, diced
1 handful of chopped mint and coriander
285ml/1/2 pint natural yoghurt
salt and freshly ground black pepper
lime juice to taste

Hot and Fragrant Rub Mix -

2 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1/2 tablespoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 clove
1/2 a cinnamon stick
2 cardamom pods
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Curry Paste Ingredients -

5cm/2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
2 tennis-ball-sized red onions, peeled
10 cloves of garlic, peeled
2 fresh chillies, with seeds
1 bunch of fresh coriander

Preheat your oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3.

Lightly toast the fragrant rub mix in the oven or under the grill. Chop the curry paste ingredients roughly, add the rub mix and puree in a food processor.

In a large casserole pan, fry the curry paste mixture in the butter until it goes golden, stirring regularly. Add the tomatoes and the stock or water. Bring to the boil, cover with kitchen foil and place in the oven for one and a half hours to intensify the flavour. Remove the foil and continue to simmer on the stove until it thickens. This is your basic curry sauce.

Fry the lamb in a little olive oil until golden, then add to the curry sauce and simmer for around 1 hour or until tender.
Sprinkle with chopped coriander and mint and stir in the yoghurt. Season to taste and add a good squeeze of lime juice. Serve with spiced breads, steamed basmati rice and lots and lots of cold beer.

Feel free to vary the curry by using diced chicken, prawns or paneer, or vegetables like Swiss chard, spinach, peas, cauliflower, fried aubergine, okra, boiled potatoes, chickpeas or lentils.

Enjoy!

Let's face it. Most curry houses or takeways are a sham.
For really authentic and clean, healthy, nutritious, homemade-like Indian food, drop in to the Sikh temple in Southall on a Sunday afternoon.

Sakonis do pretty good Indian food, not all curry houses are bad

And that's a veggie one

Southerners are well known for their ability to take their beer unless our Northern equivalents who cannot go three pints without trying to offer someone out, tulipting themselves and then going home and beating the wife.

[Sands of Time]

Forget all that...

I'm still shocked that SY has four children - with a possible fifth on the way...



I'm now unsettled.
