Your favourite Indian curry.

Banana leaf with onion sauce and a side of Tandoori Chicken breast
 
Roast Chicken curry.

I have absolutely no idea what spices were in it. If I had to guess, it would be the main 3 (cumin, coriander and turmeric), plus black pepper, fennel seeds, cinnamon and probably a whole load of others.

A friend of mine was originally from Kerala (SW India). His mum was over visiting a couple of summers ago. She brought her secret family recipe spice mix with her and he brought me a curry she had made. It was cubed chicken, marinated for 24 hours in a paste of spice mix, chilli powder, garlic, onion and ginger, and then cooked in a heavy pan until pretty much dry. Served on homemade chapatti's with yoghurt.

She also made us some fresh idli, with an amazing masala dip with fresh curry leaves.

That sounds bang on that. The thing is in British restaurants and takeaways, we get curries adapted to our western taste buds. No such in thing in India as a Korma a Balti or a bright red coloured sauce that is a massala laced with colouring sugar and MSG.

Anyone wanting a more authentic curry, just ask for it Asian style.
 
Had an amazing tandoori tuna steak with mint at a beach bar in Palolem, Goa about 20 years ago.

But my usual go to dish is a Chicken Bhuna. Can be hit and miss though.
 
Lamb Samber is always my go to curry, to be honest it's always got to have Lamb with it.

Madras and Vindaloo are others, Christ got to stop looking in this. Fancy a curry now.
 
Not exactly a favourite but we’ve been eating turkey curry for about four weeks now. Getting a bit bored if I’m honest
Lol. Poor bastard. I think my mother used to buy the biggest turkey in the shop. Fuckin' turkey Christmas day, boxing day, day after. Turkey butties, turkey rissoles, and finally turkey fuckin' soup!

I remember one year she boiled the carcass as a stock and left all the gristly bits in, instead of straining them out. She looked at me stern faced as i tried my best to eat it. "What's up son?".... "I don't like it mum"... "Why not, it's proper goodness"... "It's full of gristle mum"...
To which she quiped "Don't forget to eat the cartilage son, it's best part on't bird".... : /
