Hi Hammer,would like some tried and tested recipes,love curry what are you favourites?

[hammerman]

I really just do my own thing. Once you get a jist of curry basics, it's pretty easy and you can tweak your recipes every time you do one.

Personally, one that i do involves cooking chicken breast pieces with any chosen patkas pastes....i usually use a couple of spoons of tikka massala paste along with some finely chopped ginger and garlic until the chicken is browned.

Then i add some Greek yoghurt. Tescos do a coconut yoghurt and this is perfect for me. I stir it in and simmer for 10-15 mins and also add anything else you fancy...mushrooms, pineapple, chilli, peppers, onions...you name it.

just before serving, i add some fresh, finely chopped corriander and maybe a dash of cream if you have some.

Please experiment...some might need a sprinkle of sugar or some honey to taste, a dash of lemon or lime juice is often nice but that's how i do it.

Also, with the rice, add a good lot of cumin seeds, a star annise, 10 cloves and 10 cardamon seeds. At the end of cooking, remove 10 cloves, 10 cardamon seeds and a star annise.

For chicken tikka massala, i pre cook the chicken in Patkas tikka massala paste then add a tin of cream of tomato soup to the chicken. Add a tin of coconut milk and reduce until thick. At the end, add single cream and simmer for a few mins.
