    North Indian slow cooked chicken

    Firstly I fancied one of those cast iron casserole dishes for ages and thought that the french are taking the piss (as usual) at £160.00 starting price. Anyway did a bit of research and found people raving about the quality of this Chinese copy so got mine for £30.. and its cooks lovely. Nice colour as well and a 2 year warranty. Weighs a tonne.



    See the recipe below. I used chicken quarters and I got my assistant to blitz the liquid, when all was cooked, with a blender. I cooked on the hob, no 1, for about 2 hours. Then let it cool and into the fridge overnight. Then reheated for an hour or so next day. The cast iron job really does cook well and I recommend its use not just for Indian dishes.



    Here it is on the second day.

    What a cracking thread!

    I used to make more curry than now, and used to make up a huge wok of curry puree as a base.

    The book I use (to this day) is the Sainsburys Curry Club Recipe Book (By Pat Chapman, then Chairman of the Curry Club)

    Not sure I would waste prawns on an ultra-hot curry, mind- chicken or turkey would do for that.

    The French have some perfectly good specimens at nearer your price range once you keep clear of Le Creuset etc. I think I paid about €35 for mine in a sale.

    Can't believe I missed this thread, love to cook a good curry at home. My focus has tended to be Indian Restaurant style rather than traditional. Cook up a load of base gravy, freezer it down & make individual curries when I want one.

    The last batch of base I made


    Sag Aloo


    Tikka (brilliant flavour & so simple) hardest part is not eating it all before coming dinner


    A Phal I made for my father




    Seem to have lost all the photos of other curries!
