    5 Stars FOR INDIAN FOOD LOVERS.. 26/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Flavour, aroma

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get overpowering

    THIS REVIEW WAS DELETED BY THE CIAO TEAM BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE WRONG CATEGORY. THANKS FOR RATING AGAIN! If your tongue starts watering on mentioning Indian cuisine, then its time you start learning the art of it. You may be familiar with this extensive cuisine and now should know that it's the wide range of masalas (spices) used in cooking, which makes it oh-so yummy. At some point of time while cooking Indian food, we come across Garam Masala, which is a brown powdery ingredient, which brings spark to any Indian dish. It's readily available in super markets and grocery stores in the Asian ... more

    5 Stars A Curry and a Pizza Review with images 13/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Yummy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Recently I had made some Chicken and Pineapple kebabs for tea and was left with 1/2 a tin of pineapple rings in the fridge. The following day I was thinking what to do for tea using the Pineapple rings and as it was Saturday, it is normally curry night in the Paulpry cottage. My favourite from the local Indian Takeaway is a Chicken Balti Kaghani which is made from mint sauce, cream, pineapple and mushrooms, so with me being the adventurous type when it comes to cooking thought I would try to make it. I gave it a go and served it up to my husband without telling him what it was it it tasted ... more

    5 Stars Naan - essential to go with curry - nicer than shop bought 08/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap and yummy!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Need to feel confident to make it (don't worry it is easy)

    I'm posting this in curries as if you can rustle up a curry these naan are THE most excellent I have ever tasted. Besides it would be rude to have a home made curry without naan! I came across this recipe one day when I'd planned to make curry (patak's paste) and found out I had run out of rice. I was having "one of those days" and it actually proved easier to have a quick google and bung the ingredients in the breadmaker than drag two kids to the supermarket. I am no domestic goddess really - the recipe is really not that hard. I have adapted a recipe that I found on allrecipes.com Here is ... more

    4 Stars Chicken and Butternut Squash Curry 01/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great easy to make supper

    Disadvantages Disadvantages As with all cooking, someone needs to wash up!

    I love experimenting with my cooking and usually cook from scratch. This means that whatever I have in the cupboard gets chucked in a pan and if the results are good I will make that dish again. If not then I know that I will not then I won't bother with that combination again. For example tinned hot dog sausage and cheese risotto is heaven, but olive, salami and egg quiche is not that nice! Using the "chuck it in and see method" was how I discovered what has become my very favorite curry ever. I have repeated this recipe on many occasion now and it is well tried and tested. Therefore I ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very tasty and filling

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It might be hot but thats what currys are about

    Vegetable Samosas. This is also a fav of mine. They're brilliant for buffets and you can also freeze them and have them with a curry. It's my own recipe and it's alot better than the ones you get at a curry house or in the shops. Ingredients: 1lb + 8oz potatoes, cut into cubes (boil them until al-dente) oil 1 onion (diced) 2 garlic cloves (crushed) 2 tbsp tomato puree 3 tsp Garam masala 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground fenugreek 1 tbsp medium curry powder 1/2 tsp turmeric 4 pods of green cardamon (ground up with a mortar & pestle) 2 tsp gound coriander 2 big hand fulls of frozen peas 3-4 ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tasty, tastes even better the day after, easy vegetarian curry.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None come to mind.

    Spicy chickpea curry is one of my favourite dishes and one I could live off if I am stuck for something tasty and vegetarian to eat - Chickpeas surrounded in a spicy tomato sauce.
