East at Home - Base Gravy for Curries - My experiments

From Cookipedia
Jump to: navigation, search

I'm just running a little experiment using 'East at Home's Base Gravy for currys.  Normally I make all my curries from scratch but I have been impressed by some pre-made base sauces recently so I thought I would keep some notes and find a nice simple recipe to make a quick curry that we both enjoy.

I use olive oil by personal preference, any vegetable oil would be fine.

As this is a quick cheat recipe, I'm using a slow cooker as I can also fry off the onions in it and it saves time and washing up

Chef's notes

  • Use 1 level tablespoon of Mae Ploy Curry Pastes (Penang curry paste) - No more - this is quite peppery
  • 1 tbs TS Special curry powder, 1 tbs normal curry powder (both level) - few non-spicy additions.

Chef's notes

Lamb fillet curry: 1 pack sauce / 1/2 pack water / handfull sultanas / cubed neck fillet / 2 tbs Cock Brand Yellow Curry Paste - pressure cook 45 mins high pressure - cool, fridge. Skim fat, reheat. Fabulous!
