Adil’s Butter Chicken
This is a great curry recipe for Butter Chicken has been provided by family friend and chef extraordinaire, Adil Karimbux. It’s been adapted from long running family traditions for everyone to enjoy!
Pumpkin Soup
In France this is called the lovely sounding Potage au Potiron, but we’ll just call it Pumpkin soup! We harvested only one potiron, but with it weighing 16lbs I decided to use just a quarter of it. If you can’t get your hands on pumpkin I think you could successfully replace with carrots. The smell when cooking this is wonderful.
Mulled wine
Well, ‘tis the season and all that! A winter favourite, guaranteed to put you in a festive mood. Just double or treble the quantities below if you’ve got loads of guests who need warming up.
Chicken Pasanda
For my last recipe celebrating National Curry Week, and also to use up a little more of the Total Greek Yoghurt I’ve been sent, I’m treating you to a Chicken Pasanda. This is the curry that I always used to order when eating out at a restaurant. I just love the creaminess and nutty flavour of the sauce – the Total yoghurt is thick, tasty and full fat, so ideal for this.
There are a lot of ingredients and the method is long, but as they say no pain no gain! Give it a go, I think you’ll like it!
Chicken Korma
It’s National Curry Week so what better way to celebrate than share my recipe for one of the most loved curries there is? Chicken Korma has a nice deep spicy flavour, but because of the yoghurt tends to be nice and mild which is probably why it’s loved so much – you could of course add more chilli!
Potato & Pea Curry
As Curry Week approaches, I thought I’d put up a recipe that a friend gave me. I really love this curry and the great thing about it is you can eat it as a vegetarian choice or add meat to it if you want. We’ve added chicken and bacon and it still tastes great!
