Norrahe's Curry
Ingredients:
2 med onions
1tsp cumin seed
1 tsp black mustard seed
1tsp dried chilli flakes or 1 red chilli roughly chopped
2tsp garam masala
½ tsp sugar
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon water
1 tin tomatoes
150ml greek yoghurt
150g chopped coriander to garnish
[Additional ingredients to add to the base courgette - halved and chopped, mushrooms- chopped, chicken thighs - diced, Prawns, lamb chops - diced, mangetout - halved, green beans - halved, etc and anything else you may like to throw in the pot]
Roughly chop the onions and sweat in a small amount of oil on a low heat for until they are soft, add the cumin and mustard seed and fry for a further minute, then add the garam masala and the water, stirring leave to cook for 5 minutes.
While the onions are sweating prep the other ingredients you wish to add
Then add the tinned tomatoes and the chilli flakes/fresh chilli.
This is where the cooking times will vary depending on what you add to the base mixture
For chicken, lamb and prawns give it 15 mins on a medium heat.
For courgettes, give it 5 mins again on a medium heat
Mushrooms or other veg 6- 10 minutes.
To finish add the sugar, and ensuring the curry is on a low heat, add the yoghurt and then season with the salt. For the health conscious amongst you, you can omit the yoghurt and serve on the side or use goats milk yoghurt.
Stir through and then garnish with the coriander

Pondy's Chicken Curry (foolproof)
1 x Tin Tomatoes
1 x Onion
3 cm Ginger
3 x Garlic cloves
1 x Scotch Bonnet Chilli
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsb Tumeric
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken stock
2 tbsp natural yoghurt
1 lime
2 large chicken breasts
coriander leaves
Cooking oil
Finely chop and fry the onions
Finely chop the chilli, ginger and garlic and add to the onions once softened
after a few mins add the dry spices and fry for 2 mins keeping an eye to avoid burning
Pour in the tin of tomatoes and cup of stock.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-10 mins and then blitz with a hand blender
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the chopped chicken, whack a lid on and leave it for 30-40 mins
Once the sauce has nicely thickened, add the yogurt, and the juice of half the lime, stir, taste and add the 2nd half if needed.
Once happy, chuck in the coriander leaves, stir and serve.
Winner every time.

I've been making a lot of Japanese style curries using the sauce blocks you get from the asian supermarkets lately.

If you're interested, I also have among others "Cooking The Indian Way" by Vijay Madavan (2002). But that is a 7 Mb PDF file.Last edited by OwlHoot; 10 June 2011, 11:33.

My missus is going round to some Indian woman's house today to learn how to make authentic Indian curry. Can't wait to get home tonight.
I may be able to post up the recipe, depending on how complex it is/ how lazy I am over the weekend. Too late for your curry night but maybe for a future curry night.
If you've baked bread before then naan bread is reasonably easy to do. Even I managed some decent tasting naan last time I tried it. Not authentic in the method I know but really tastes good anyway though baked in the oven.
Have fun anyhow.
