Serve with a nice real ale like a gold top Leffe or push the boat out and have a few tins of wife beater! (stella - apparently) or even battered Hubby (Archers aqua)

And pop a toilet roll in the fridge.....................

See you next friday! - let me know how you all got on!

You can also do Spiced Onions with tomato ketchup and lemon or lime juice instead of the mint sauce. Nice and tangy to go with the hot taste of the curry.

Haven't posted on here before but saw this thread and thought I had to share my fail safe curry recipe which works every time and tastes great. It's easy too. Anyway.....

Fry 2 onions finely sliced. When they're brownish throw in 3 cloves and 5 cardomom pods for a minute or so. Then puree the onions, cloves and cardomom with 6 cloves garlic and 2 inch of ginger. Add this all back to the pan and add 1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder, 1/2 tablespoon garam masala, big tub natural yoghurt, chicken cut into cubes and 1/2 tube tomato puree. Coat the chicken in this and add half a pint of warm water. Let it cook and 5mins before serving add a couple of tablespoons of ground almonds and a good bunch of fresh coriander. It tastes great and I'm in the middle of cooking one for tea tonight. If you want it hotter then just add a bit more chilli powder.

Enjoy.

I forgot salt. You must add salt.

For the rice

finely chop an onion and slice three pieces of garlic thinly although dont chop it you need to be able to see the slices. Count out six cardoman pods and two cinammon sticks and fry lightly in a little oil.

Follow the instructions on your rice for quantity using vegetable stock instead of water. Add the stock first to the pan just bringing back to the boil with the ingredients in. Then add your rice a little salt and cook according to instructions.

Drain and serve - try to remove the cardoman pods as they taste horrid if you get them in your mouth.

If you want leave out the cinnamon sticks and add chopped fresh coriander at the end

Everyone to their own, I quite like them crushed in a pestle and mortar and sprinkled into curries, of course remove the outer shells before though.

after your curry, try 'cardoman coffee'

grind 4 cardomans and put them either in a cup with some instant coffee or put them into a cafetiere with real coffee for a lovely afterdinner refreshment.
