Curry Night

I've not made Indian food in a while. In London, you can get pretty tasty curries in the supermarkets (yes, the type you pop in the microwave and nuke).

Tonight I whipped up Balti Chicken Madras and Courgette Curry. Both recipes are from the Low-Fat Indian Food, a simple cookbook with easy instructions and the crucial ingredient in my view - photographs.
I also made basmati rice flavoured with onions, cumin and mustard seeds.

Anyway, the Ah Lau said it was a "screaming success" - I don't think he meant it was too hot. At least I hope not. He is the undisputed King of Chilli  Buffalo Wings at Jerry's after all so his tolerance for spicy food is beyond human nature.

Maybe I will be braver next week and  make Chicken Vindaloo, the mother of all Indian curries, the one that makes grown men weep.
