Google Emeril's Shrimp Curry on Food Network. It's a great base recipe, sometimes I make it without the shrimp, sometimes my husband has chicken with it. Also, I don't homemake the red curry past, I just use the jar.

PS We eat it over rice and with a fruit salad.

I understand that Tim Curry loves you too

I LOVE CURRY TOO.


My favorite is adding tahini and coconut milk to red curry paste.. zucchini, bean sprouts, meat or meat sub.

Indian curries can be pretty reasonable. All you really need is a varied spice cabinet and garam masala.

Go to the Marten Inn (Paddy's Dhaba) in Leicester for the best curries on the face of the universe. That is all.

I love this recipe. It's really simple and comes in a 377cals if using low fat yogurt and lean diced casserole steak. I'm sure you could use the same ingredients with any meat of your choice.
Use common sense and try and reduce the oil when cooking homemade curries and add lots of veg for extra flavour and to reduce the meat content.

I LOVE THEM ALL

Sorry. Couldn't help it. I really do. Can't think of one I've been like, "Ew Curry" to. It's all "Oh Curry!"

You can basically use a few standard spices that will classify the taste as curry and you can make adjustments from there. For example I combine in different proportions corriander seed, cumin, chili pepper, all spice, cinnamon stick, caramon white and black, turmeric, saffron and garam marsala.

From there what other veg, meat and liquids you add will dictate calories for the most part. tomatoes and canned, potatoes, cauliflower, onion, eggplant, chick pea, yogurt, coconut milk, stocks, and for meats, what ever you like etc.

You want to cook the onion generally first, add spices, veg, proteins, liquid then reduce. tougher cuts of meat are the best because they lend themselves to braising. My personal favorites are lamb leg, goat and pot roast cuts of beef. for delicate meats like chicken and fish where overcooking is not preferred, leave them to the last, they only take a few minutes to cook. Hope this helps.

Me too - love curry, my absolutely favourite food - used to live in Leicester and Melton Rd is amazing for restaurants. Lots of ways to make them less fattening - low fat yoghurt, tandoori spices and coat chicken pieces, marinade in fridge for a few hours then grill or oven cook - serve with a salad lush!

Now what am I going to have for tea..................... :-)

Check out skinnytaste.com for some amazing recipes. She has a couple of thai curry dishes that are wonderful. Can you get "light coconut milk" in England? That would help a lot with your base. Then I just add tons of veggies to her basic recipe.

I used to like making the stuff that was on the Extras of Bend it like Beckham.
Honestly cant remember what it was anymore. =P

Remember the key to indian curry is to smoke your spices first. (put them in a dry pan). Also, whole seeds/pods taste way better than the powders.

Most curry style foods I make are really healthy to begin with, spices+tomato substance+yogurt+vegetables.

This months Clean Eating magazine has a chicken curry with zucchini & cashews that I tweaked to go veg. It was easy & very good

Curry is healthy by nature because it relies purely on spices (cumin, turmeric, curry powder, coriander, chili powder). For a curry base, I usually fry these spices with some onions in your oil of choice with ginger paste and garlic paste. To get a nice gravy, I'll add tomato paste + water, or coconut milk. To the gravy I'll add additional spices, like cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, cardamom pods, whole black peppercorns. If I had coconut milk, I may also sweeten it a tad with some Splenda. When the gravy is getting to a desired consistency, I'll thrown in green chillies (whole, but slit) to spice things up some more. If you want specifics about any type of meat or veggie, feel free to contact me. :-)
