CURRY POWDER TEA RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
  2. Roughly chop some of the mushrooms, keeping the smaller ones whole and tearing up the rest. Tip into a large casserole dish and toast on the hob over a medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes, until nutty and really golden.
  3. Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the garlic, ginger and onion. Trim and finely slice the chilli, then roughly chop the tomatoes.
  4. Add all of it to the pan except the tomatoes, then add 1 tablespoon of oil and the spices. Toss for 2 minutes, or until the spices are toasted and it’s smelling lovely, stirring continuously.
  5. Add the tomatoes, mango chutney and coconut milk, stir to combine and season well with sea salt and black pepper.
  6. Top with bits of the paneer and place in the oven. Cook for 30 minutes, or until all cooked through and gnarly.
  7. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
  8. Taste and season as required, adding a little lime juice if needed.
  9. Spoon the curry over the rice, then roughly chop the coriander leaves and scatter over the top. Cut the remaining lime into wedges for people to squeeze over the top.

Steps:

• 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over a medium heat, add the lamb, spices and curry powder, then cook gently for 15 minutes, or until browned all over, stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the ginger, garlic and onions. Add the sliced ingredients and curry leaves to the pan, then cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
  3. Tip in the chickpeas (and their juice), then crumble in the stock cube. Pour in the tomatoes and 1 tin’s worth of hot water.
  4. Season lightly with sea salt and black pepper, then slowly bring to the boil, breaking up the tomatoes with the back of a spoon.
  5. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened and reduced, occasionally stirring and scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the coconut milk and spinach to the pan, stir well, then bring just back to the boil.
  7. Have a taste and season to perfection, then tear the coriander leaves over the top. Delicious served with brown basmati rice.
