Make An Indian Curry From Scratch - Al's Kitchen



neebody done a list of essential ingredients yet ? Be a lot easier than watching every video and scribbling it all down

for us lazy bastards like
Shirley you need to know what recipes you want to try to get all the ingredients?

I got a stacker box full of bags of spices and herbs, cost about £40 odd to fill it!

That's what I did.......revisited a lush Chicken Pasanda tonight like, I'm getting better at this! :)
 
So made this today. Question how many portions do I get from the batch of I followed the YouTube video for the base gravy? Bought a load of containers to freeze it but not sure how much I should be putting in each portion to feed a family of four?

one container seems about right for 4 in my experience, use a bit to pre cook the chicken and rest in the main dish, usually get 7/8 containers

I use a carton to do a meal for two adults, dependent on the dish I may have some base left over and I just re freeze it, So you can work it out roughly for 4 and the ingredient increases too.....

The you tube vids of Al and Misty are based on large adult...Man portions! ;)
 
Completed my first try of Chicken Madras.. very pleased with it. Maybe not quite as hot as I'd like but tastes about 90% the way to my usual curry from the local Indians.
