Leek and potatoe soup...handfull of potatoes, 2 leeks, 2 onions, veg or chicken stock. Fry onoins and leak until golden, chop potatoes into 1cm squares, throw them in with the onions and leeks with your stock and cook for 20-30 mins. You can whizz/blend the soup, I like to do it partially so there are still lumps of potatoes....Easy and quick.

It was on the back of the tofu package, and that's in the fridge. So tomorrow I'll type it down and post it in here, because I'm about to crash.

or just tell me the name of the tofu you bought and I could look it up myself. Tomorrow of course. :D

I have a great Lamb Curry recipe. It's actually a Karachi Gosht

Lean leg of lamb
Butter (preferably Ghee/clarified butter)
Minced chicken breast
Curry Gravy
Dried Funegreek (although if you can't get it, it's not the end of the world)
Spinash leaves (same proportion as lamb)
Boiled egg (crumbled and used to garnish the curry)


Cut lamb into chunks and brown off in pot that you can also put into the oven (casserole dish or something) .Add minced chicken and Curry gravy (see recipe below), cover pot with lid and put in oven.
After 15 min check curry (should be fairly dry, but if too dry add a little water)
After 20 mins add Fenugreek.
After another 20 mins taste, meat should be tender now, mix the spinach in, add a little water if needs be to moisten, salt and pepper to taste. Put cassrole dish back in over with lid on and turn over off. Leave to sit for 10 mins, ready to serve>> naan bread, rice, whatever.

To makeCurry Gravy>


Recipe:
Curry masala (you can buy curry powder for this, or make your own, I prefer to make my own but you need about 30 ingrediants) Masala is just a term for rmixed spices really.

50g garlic
250g Onoins (pref Spanish onions)
4 cans of plummed tomatoes
200ml water
1 large green bell pepper
Salt to taste (if you can get aromatic salt, even better)

Method:
Curry powder/Masala mixed with a little bit of water (enough to make a paste)
Heat oil/ghee and add paste - fry for 1-2mins
Add garlic and then add onoins and caramelise.
Add tomatoes and then water and then blend with a mixer.
Add green peper and cook for a further 10 minutes.

This gravy can be frozen and then added to whatever meat you want to make various types of curry. It's basically the BASE for making curries.

Enjoy!

man knows his curry! I generally roll with the same method for making the paste and alter it according to who's eating it. if my lady is eating i'll add a pot of natural yogurt to calm it down.

i mix my spices into tomato puree rather than water but i guess it makes little difference as i add water once i've browned the meat usually. i've been slow cooking a lot of curries lately. lamb is so soft its hard getting it to stay on the fork lol.

a good range of spices is pricey compared to a pataks jar made up but will last you ages.

i'm not actually making the curry today, my good mucker fat dave is. im bringing the beer :)
