« on: February 06, 2012, 11:07 AM »
This is for about 7 breasts of chicken
500 pot of yogurt
1 desert spoon of methi
3 fresh chillies a good handfull of fresh coriander
2 desert spoons of mix powder
half a desert spoon of tandoori paste  /
1 desert spoon of tikka paste
half desert spoon of Kashmir masala
1 level desert spoon of Coleman's fresh garden mint
half a mug of mustard oil  /we have used veg oil when we  run out of mustard oil
colour red and light orange

blend up with a liquidiser cut the breasts lengh ways in half and marinade for about 4 hours or more
to make for tandoori chicken its 1 desert spoon tandoori paste and half a desert of tikka paste
in the house we do ours in a halogen cooker i suppose an oven will do all the best
to serve cut the tikka into pieces use a frying pan with some oil some onions and a taspoon of methi,fry for 3 mins  then add the cjcken tikka a little fresh coriander over the top

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN TAUGHT AT THE T/A WHERE I WORK. IVE WHATCHED MANY TIMES THIS PREPARATION BEING DONE,BUT  WILL SHARE IN THE FORUM .USED WITH THE PREPARED ONIONS,SOME MIX POWDER,A LITTLE UNCOOKED ONIONS SLICED,A LITTLE TOMATO PUREE ABOUT HALF A SMALL ONION HALF TOMATO CUT INTO QUARTERS, START FRYING.
FRY DOWN WITH A LITTLE GURAVY OR SERVE IT SAUCEY WHICH THEY SAY. A LITTLE METHY FRYED IN WITH THE INGEDIENTS ADD THE POTATOES AND COVER WITH FRESH CORIANDER FOLLOW THIS AND YOU WILL HAVE  THE BIR TASE


THREEQUARTER CUP OF OIL
1 HEAPED TEASPOON OF PAANCH PHURAN
1 ONION CHOPPED FINE 
4 CLOVES OF CHOPPED GARLIC
2 DESERT SPOONS OF MIX POWDER
1 TEASPOON OF TURMARIC
4 CHEF SPOONS OF LIQUIDISED PLUM TOMATOES
SALT TO TASTE
AROUND 6-7 POTATOES CUT INTO QUARTERS
1 DESERT SPOON OF METHI

METHOD
PUT THE OIL IN A SAUSPAN,AND PUT IN THE GARLIC, FRY FOR ABOUT 3 MINS,NOW ADD THE ONIONS AND PAANCH PHURAN,METHI AND FRY FOR ANOTHER 5 MINS STIRING REGULARILY NOW ADD THE MIX POWDER,AND TURMARIC
AFTER 5 SECONDS ADD THE TOMATOES AND SALT. FRY FOR ABOUT 5 MINS STIRING. NOW ADD THE POTATOES
YOU NEED TO KEEP EXTRA CARE VTHEY DONT START FRYING SO KEEP STIRING  ADD A SMALL DROP OF WATER
IF NEEDED KNOCK OFF FROM TIME TO TIME LEAVING THEM COOK IN THEIR OWN HEAT DO THIS BY COVERING WITH
A PLATE REHEATING EVERY MAYBE  10 MINS BUT ALWAYS STIRING THEM UNTIL COOKED WE USE ABOUT 23 POTATOES IN THIS METHOD AT OUR T/A BUT WELL WORTH THE EFFORT .YOU NOW HAVE THE PREPARED POTATOES FOR MAKING BOMBAY ALOO

Into a muslin net (to make like a teabag thingy)

3 cloves
6 x 1 inch pieces of cassia bark
3 - 4 pieces of mace
3 - 4 green cardamom pods
2 star anise
3 bay leaves, dried

then tie a knot - making it similar to a large teabag.  Drop this into the pan, along with:

1 kg onion, roughly chopped
1 tbsp salt
1050 ml cold water
1/2 green and 1/2 red pepper, chopped
125g fresh carrot, roughly chopped

Stir well.

Put onto a high heat, and bring to the boil.  Cover and boil for 45 minutes stirring frequently.

While that's simmering, make another mixture to add to it.  Take:

30g peeled fresh garlic (about 3 - 4 cloves)
30g peeled fresh ginger

Using a blender, make into a paste with a small amount of water.  Set aside.

Then, in a seperate bowl, mix:

2 1/4 tsp chilli powder
1 3/4 tsp coriander powder
3/4 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp tumeric powder
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1 3/4 tsp dried fenugreek leaf (Methi) finely chopped
3/4 tsp garam masala powder

Open a 200g can of chopped tomato and set aside.

Roughly chop 12g fresh coriander leaves, and also put to one side.  These will be used at the end of the recipe.

Into a seperat, good-sized saucepan (I use a wok) add 5 tbsp (75ml) of vegetable oil.  Heat the oil then add the garlic and ginger paste mixture.  Stir until it becomes golden brown.

Take off the heat, and add the mixture of spices.  It's important to remove it from the heat, as the spices burn easily, and should be treated with care.

Stir well, and return to a very low heat.  You'll notice the wonderful instant aroma of spices.

Add the can of chopped tomato, and bring to the boil, stirring constantly.

Add 600ml (1 pint) of hot water into the mixture, and bring back to the boil, stirring constantly.  Despit the fact that there's now liquid in this mixture, the spices can still burn on the base of the pan.

Once it has boiled for about 3 - 4 minutes, take it off the heat.

Go back to the large pan of onion mixture.  Once it's boiled for the necessary 45 minutes, remove the net containing the whole spices and throw it away.

Pour the spicy tomato mixure into the onion pan, stir well, and boil for around 5 minutes.

Leave to cool before adding the coriander leaves, and then reduce to a smooth gravy using a blender.  The base sauce is now complete!

This sauce should be enough for about 10 portions but I like to add more water, just to thin it out a touch as it is quite thick.
