Hey
That sounds nice
I rather tend to use chicken more than anything, as the cooking time is less.
I do a top Madras & a Methi.
Why not lets invent a curry club & we can all share our own, alternatively, lets get together one night for a curryfest!
Top Idea!

Yeah come on post yer methi recipe!

Ok, this is my way & a hint i got from someone that used to know the guy that works in the Kashmiri on Spital hill!

1. In a magimix, blitz your onion, garlic, ginger & chilli with a couple tbl spoons tamarind water!

2. When a puree develops, squeeze out through muslin or teacloth & retain liquid.

3. Collect your spices of choice, i use (greatest first), coriander seed, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, garam masala powder, cardamoms (inner little black seeds), turmeric & a couple of cloves!

4. Add veg oil in hot wok & crackle spices till poping!

5. Add squeezed onion, garlic, chilli mixture & fry on high heat stiring always!

6. Add chopped chicken breast & stirfry till sealed & coated with all other ingredients, also add a squirt of tomato puree!

7. Add the squeezed tamarind onion liquid & it should go ssshhhhh, yeh!

8. Reduce heat add handful of Kashuri Methi leaves, dried ones are tops!

9. Simmer for 15 mins, slowly adding a fiew drops of water till consistency is nice, reduced & descent sauce/meat ratio!

10. Add a good dollop natural yoghurt 5 mins before seving & add salt to taste!

If anyone trys it, lets know what you think!
Enjoy!

Never mind the Methi - How do you make the madras? (slurp).
