Want More Flavour?

To enhance the flavour of your chicken or meat curry add a stick of cinnamon and 2 or 3 cloves to the heatedoil before adding the other ingredients.

 

The Secret Ingredient

To enhance the flavour of your vegetable dishes add ½ a teaspoon of whole cumin seeds to the heated oil before adding the other ingredients.

 

Not Hot Enough?

If you like your curries hotter add alittle dry red chilli powder to the dish.

 

Keep It Together!

Before you cook your fish soak it in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of salt for 15 minutes.  Rinse thoroughly in cold water and you’re ready to cook! This will stop the fish falling apart during cooking.

 

Too Hot?

For a milder curry add 1 tablespoon of natural yogurt to the dish 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
