Nice simple recipe and really flavoursome

Courgette subzi

Peel and chop 2-3 courgettes into discs
Fry one medium sized Bombay onion until turning brown. Add courgettes, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, salt to taste but probably 2/3 teaspoon, half a fresh green chilli and 1/2 tomato or a few cherry tomatoes whole. Reduce heat to half, cover and cook for 20 mins. Mash up with a potato masher/back of spoon

Sprinkle fresh coriander and serve. The sweetness of the courgette is really good.

I usually make this to accompany daal and rice.

I'm doing veggie curry tonight - might try this one. Got everything except the fresh chilli but my partner is a spice wimp anyway.

Try grating or julienning the corvettes towards the end and leaving them as is rather than mashing.

Autocorrect from courgettes to corvettes... how very PH!!

I thought the same thing actually. I've got all that and it sounds good.

Gonna have to try and find some Bombay onions

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Dunno, but I'm using a normal onion.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever peeled a courgette(/corvette!) before.

[MrJuice]

Bombay onion is a generic term for an onion imported from India. They're pinkish. In between a white onion and red onion. Flavour is different to white or red onion (unsurprisingly). Probably a softer flavour.

Readily available from your South Asian grocery store. Slightly more expensive than white onion but per onion we are talking a few pence difference. Price can go up really high sometimes if there are supply problems.

Does anyone like or had dal makhani or black dal? We hunted high and low for a decent recipe and found the Rick stein one to be the closest to being authentic. It’s so tasty.

Link?

I love a RS recipe. His India adventures were very enjoyable. Ramsay in India highlighted what a dhead that man is

A desi recipe in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOlNWZbcn4M

There are much better ones but most are in Punjabi or Hindi.

Mae Ploy is the daddy of Thai pastes....in my opinion.

Oil in wok.
Paste in wok
Onions, garlic ginger, fresh coriander
Few mins to get going

Coconut milk in, let it simmer and reduce a bit.

Chicken in...let it poach

Dump in some green veg.

You'll get a decent green curry with that as a base method.

I made this last night, but with a European onion rather than an Indian one! I didn't mash it down completely as I wanted texture rather than mush, and I could have added used more chilli, but it was tasty. I shall finish the remainder of it tonight with spicy salmon I think.

Thanks for the tip.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I got a bit obsessed with doing BIR curry a while ago - its a bit of a faff but worth the effort.

I found this chaps channel quite good, you can almost cook realtime with him for some dishes which helps with process and timing.

They do a pack that has one sachet of each in it which is worth buying as a sampler.
