Curry From Scratch Help
Discussion
I am throwing myself before the experts to ask for help.
I want to try and cook a Chicken Tikka curry from scratch but...,,l,,
It has to be relatively easy as I want my 11yr old lad to do it with me, so something in between a “cheffy” recipe and a jar.
I’ve never cooked a curry from nothing, done chilli, ragu and lots of stews etc. I’d like to consider myself as capable in the kitchen but I really like my kids to get stuck in and a curry is something we’ve never done......

Madhur Jaffreys recipes are nice and easy way of getting into cooking curry from scratch.

Go and find yourself an Asian/Indian supermarket to get best prices on the spices you need. If you don't have one nearby, the ASDA world food aisle does quite good value (note not the aisle with the curry sauces on!)
Good luck, and once you start you won't use a jar again.

If you want something in between a jar of sauce and doing the whole base gravy thing - just a suggestion?I want to try and cook a Chicken Tikka curry from scratch but...,,l,,

take your son through the prep of marinating the meat with garlic and ginger paste etc (julian voigt has a good youtube video on this) and then use a Spice Tailor or similar curry kit which has sachets of base gravy, dry spices and curry paste?
If you want to stretch it further make a proper pilau - if thats more than enough just make good basmati (a lesson in itself to get right) - or if you want the path of least resistance just nuke one of those plastic 'cheat rice' tubs to go with it?
No its not completely authentic - but it covers the steps of prep (inc marinading), cooking in steps, and the value of getting the accompaniment right as well as timing?
You can adjust the 'difficulty' as much as you like also?
Just an idea

This one is a good recipe, and no jars in sight.
