Title: Glasgow KORMA
Post by: bigboaby1 on January 15, 2013, 10:51 PM
1 HEAPED TSP TOMATO PUREE
2 SOUP LADELS BASE SAUCE
150 ML SINGLE CREAM
1 HEAPED CHEF SPOON COCONUT POWDER
1 HEAPED TBL SPOON SUGAR
GLASGOW PRE COOKED CHICKEN 8 PIECES

METHOD

STEP 1.. ADD BASE SAUCE AND T/PURE TO A COLD PAN TURN ON GAS AND
COOK FOR 2 MINS OR UNTIL HOT AND BUBBLING
STEP 3..ADD CHICKEN..SUGAR..COCONUT..SINGLE CREAM
COOK FOR A FURTHER 10 MINS...DONE


THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO MOST KORMAS ON THIS SITE THE ONLY TWIST IS THE GLASGOW BASE SAUCE AND PRE COOKED CHICKEN WITCH WILL COMPLETELY TASTE DIFFERENT TO WHAT YOU'VE HAD BEFORE

MOST OF THE RECIPE'S IN GLASGOW ARE VERY MUCH THE SAME AS DOWN SOUTH THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING IS THE GLASGOW BASE SAUCE AND PRE COOKED CHICKEN..ANYTHING ELSE I'LL POST ASAP...

OUR TECHNIQUE ADDING EVERYTHING TO A COLD PAN SAVES A LOT OF TIME ..WHEN WE ADD TOMATOES ..ONIONS..PEPPERS..MUSHROOMS ETC THEY ARE FINELY CHOPPED AND TAKE VERY LITTLE TIME TO COOK........ANYWAY THAT'S HOW WE PREP THINGS IN OUR TAKEAWAY....IF VEG IS PRE COOKED IT IS NO LONGER FRESH.... THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MY CHEF.. WHO AM I TO DISAGREE

HAVE I FORGOT ANYTHING..LOL


Edit by George - added HEAPED to tomato puree measure, as clarified by BB1

Many thanks for this recipe and thank you for specifying heaped measures, where needed.

...but the tomato paste? Is that level (as implied) or heaped also?

THANK YOU SO MUCH for providing this recipe!

Just one question: how many ml a soup ladel stand for?

I still hope you'll post the Chicken Tikka Masala recipe soon...

THANKS AGAIN!

You can add it if you want but it is not needed...it is used mostly as thickening agent for the more runny base sauces..We don't use it at our takeaway....the thing about curry's is you can add anything you want to them there are no rules you are the boss if you think you it needs some almond powder then by all means use it.

I tought so, but I'm glad to know exactly how you were taught to cook it.

Can I repeat my question: how many ml does a soup ladel stand for?

BB1 replied by private message to say:
"Sorry heaped George"

Thanks for that. I'll edit your original recipe to reflect that, and trust you don't mind.

I'm really looking forward to trying this recipe, due primarily to the inclusion of your (presumably) more flvoursome base sauce, and the Glasgow pre cooked chicken, of course. I have high expectations.

It also looks more authentic to me by NOT including almond powder. I can't see many BIRs ever using much almond powder. It's far too expensive!
