a google brought up some intresting stories on that Chef! lolhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUQvYn6wRn8
Made a Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) earlier:
Ingredients, I'd already marinaded the chicken:
Cooking the sauce which is onion based with a hell of a lot of butter:
Tomatoes and cream added and from there it is blended:
Rice:
Grill the chicken whilst reheating the blended sauce:
The finished article:
Getting ready to tuck in:
It was lovely however very rich, including the rice there was a whole thing of butter in it that meal; 250g worth, the wife is dosing herself up with Gaviscon at the moment to preempt any issues later!

Err 250g of butter between 2 people? That's about 900 calories each on its own!It was lovely however very rich, including the rice there was a whole thing of butter in it that meal; 250g worth, the wife is dosing herself up with Gaviscon at the moment to preempt any issues later!

For me, butter chicken, keema naan and mushroom rice.
The thing is, as many have attested to already, it's GOT to be from my favourite curry house that we've been using for the past 17 years.
I've tried other butter chicken recipes and they all miss by being a lot less flavoursome. I'm sure the one I buy has coconut milk in it.
The naan, too, is thick with lots of spiced mince. Again, so many other places put the merest smear of mince in the middle that it's a massive let-down. Too much naan / keema kills it.
I recently tried butter chicken in Mumbai and it was delicious. Again, totally different but loads of flavour. I'd happily go back purely for that.
A close second is a recent discovery from the same curry house - salmon masala. Huge chunks of salmon in a beautifully flavoured masala sauce. Lemon rice suits it nicely. Wifey orders this a lot.
Very hungry now.... Need a black coffee to quell the appetite.

I tend to make my sauce in a blender then cook it in the pan, saves time
I also use Jalfrezi Paste
Ingredients
2 chilli's red or green
2 Bell Peppers red or green or any colour
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 onion finely grated
1 tablespoon of tomato puree
3 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons ground cumin
3 teaspoons ground coriander
30g ghee or 2 tablespoons oil
In a food processor or mortar & pestle, whiz up or pound together everything except the ghee or oil.
In a wok or heavy based saucepan, heat the ghee or oil, and fry the paste until it goes brown and smells aromatic. you can use the paste and make this in batches and freeze
You can use the paste straight away, or save it in a jar in the fridge for later.

Gotta love a good curry, I've been on a huge diet/keep fit regime for 10 months now and have shifted 6 stone, but I just cannot give up my favourite curry house.
hence my comment above. Its nice to find a curry recipe that is reasonably health. As for not eating curry form take out, just watch what you eat that day and train a little hard that week. You will soon burn it off in a couple of extra sessions. Even with beer its not the end of the world if you can work a little harder.

I use 4 chicken breasts (from aldi's 1kg pack) and marinade that in garam masala and cumin for about 2 hours beforehand. I also add a touch of sugar in my sauce and it really brings it out. The sauce I think personally, is best made the day before so the flavours develop.
Ill give that a go. Haven't got any garam masala at the moment but will get some and try it with the chicken. I also doubled the quantities and used about 1kg of chicken and there is a good bit left (fed 2 adults and 1 child).
Will definitely be using this one again!
I tried somewhere different for my last take away and spied Nowakali naga on the menu. The previous time I had a naga curry my stomach rejected it so I was taking a risk but all stayed down and i found it most enjoyable.
With regards to the Jalfrezi not being so hot, I had one in a restaurant which was the hottest thing I've ever eaten. The waiter was peering around the wall to watch me eating it. Not a pretty sight, tears and snot in abundance lol
