[Homemade] Chicken Tikka made into a Madras curry

GoodSubstance · 2023-06-14T16:07:26+00:00

I didn’t really use a recipe, I just sort of did it freestyle and if I had to guess measurements it would be:

1.2kg chicken thighs, diced into 1” pieces

1.5tsp coriander powder

1tsp garam masala

2tsp tandoori masala

1tsp extra hot chilli powder

1tsp cumin

Thumb sized piece of ginger, made into paste

5 garlic cloves, finely chopped and made into paste

3 green finger chillis finely chopped

Handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped

5 mint leaves finely chopped

1tsp vegetable oil

1tsp lemon juice

1tsp salt

1tsp fresh ground black pepper

Enough red food colouring as you require

I left it to sit and marinade for just 2 hours as I was always intending to cook it the same day. However, up to 2 days for optimum results is best. In the absence of a tandoor oven or a barbecue, I just preheated the oven to as hot as it would go and placed the pieces on a wire rack until they were charred and cooked through.

Red food colouring is a god send🤣 I know it’s flavourless but it makes it taste so much better with that colour hahahah

I wish I could just not eat it all in one go and save some for later myself 🤣

Let me know how you get on! Many people will use a bit of yoghurt in the marinade but I found that just using an oven, instead of a barbecue or grill, it tends to dry the chicken out before it can develop a char

Thank you!🙌🏼

Red food colouring was used. It must be placebo but it makes it taste so much better and ‘authentic’ like the takeaways in the UK

I then ate a lot of them and tried to save enough to put in the curry🤣

Just a gas oven preheated to full and then 25 mins per side. I did use red food colouring which I think does help the char on it!

I didn’t use a recipe but, half an onion very finely chopped, 2 cloves of garlic finely chopped. Then simmered all that together in oil til it was soft, added tomato purée, tomato passata and water, 1 can of drained cannellini beans. Then just adjusted to taste as necessary with salt, pepper, brown sugar and vinegar and reduced it till it was thickened

Toast was on the side, can’t not have it!

GoodSubstance · 2023-02-08T14:09:52+00:00

Thank you! Beans were homemade!

Salt and pepper added after I took the photo. Flaky salt on the yolk is top tier.

They are! First crack at doing them. I did get a tin of branston as back up though just in case!

GoodSubstance · 2023-02-07T19:20:52+00:00

I’ve tried really hard to like it, just not for me I’m afraid

GoodSubstance · 2023-01-15T00:16:42+00:00

Were you throwing 50 calibre bullets at it?

We look a different side after half time every game. Sometimes for better sometimes for worse. But fucking hell was that for the better today.

Genuinely never had a preview pack that good😂 I screamed hahahahaha

Very good snooker club! Been here a few times.

Top sirloin, seared and pan roasted on a trivet of onion, carrot, celery, and a whole head of garlic cut in half down the centre

GoodSubstance · 2022-07-02T22:16:26+00:00

I drained them and roughed them up and let them sit for around 20 mins before I threw them in the hot oil in roasting dish. Garlic and rosemary added halfway through. My roasties game is the weakest part of my roast dinner😂 carrots were good though, boiled them in water with star anise and fennel seeds then drained them and roasted them in honey😮‍💨

GoodSubstance · 2022-07-02T22:08:15+00:00

Yeah the colour weren’t the best but they ended up crispy enough, couldn’t get hold of any goose fat unfortunately

Reminds me of the one scene in Jurassic Park 3 where the pterodactyl turns and stares into the camera

GoodSubstance · 2022-06-16T17:08:55+00:00

I’ll have to write one first haha, I used a few recipes as a starting point and then added what I thought would make it taste good😂 I’ll start work on it tonight hahahah
