'Vindamoos Base'
« on: July 31, 2008, 03:35 PM »
Hi all,

I made this along with a cracking jalfrezi
(see 'Chicken Jalfrezi - plus base recipe' in the 'Main Dishes' section)
and i think Ive hit on something very very near the BIR taste.
Please don't be put of by the lack of ginger in the base.

Here it is.......

One BIG glug of sunflower oil (about 5 tablespoons)
Chop up
            6 cloves of garlic
            5 large onions
            2 large celery sticks
      
Cook the above on a low heat with the lid on for about 25-30 mins stirring every 5-10 mins

THEN ADD
          1 Tablespoon - Coriander
          1 Tablespoon - Cumin
          1 Tablespoon - Chili Powder
          1 Tablespoon - Paprika
          1 Tablespoon - Turmeric

Add a whole tin of chopped tomatoes
Add half a pint of boiling water with a stock cube dissolved in it.
Stir through and then bring to the boil again and simmer for at least another hour or so with the lid on stirring every 10 Min's or so.(longer the better)
Add more water if it starts getting a bit thick.
Lob it in the whizzer and it should do you about 5 (2 person) portions.

Very simple i know but its very effective with the jalfrezi Ive posted.
Will be trying this with a few different curries (patia, Madras, balti probably)to see if its just as good.
Will keep you all posted with the results.

If you have any questions let me know.
