Inspired by recent thread I made curry 'n' chips yesterday. Kefta Dansak, using CA's recipe omitting the pineapple 'cos I'm fed up with throwing away tins of them.

The meat is beef mince because I have a backlog in the freezer that I want to get through. The chips are triple-cooked and honestly if I lived in the U.K I wouldn't bother, they take far too much time to cook but it was Sunday and I had time. The presentation's not bad by my standards...

An alternative method for you to try fried, since your chips are taking lots of your time...

- first fry at 160C for 3 mins (should be still pale in colour)
- then microwave at 100% for 2 mins (they'll look soggy and floppy afterwards)
- then fry 170C for 3 mins (should end up floating on the surface, golden brown.

Crisp on the outside, soft as snow on the inside. Lovely. Season at the end after draining on kitchen paper.
Total time elapsed about ten mins and no need to fuss over them, just fry, whack in micro then fry again.

No microwave I'm afraid. I have to parboil, then fry at 120? ish x4 for 5/6 minutes 'cos I have guests and I don't have a deep- fat fryer, just a sauce-pan. Then 4 batches again at 160? for 10ish minutes. Adds up to a lot of cooking. I'll do rice next time  ;D
