MUTTER PANEER -- INDIAN CHEESE CURRY

Steps:

• Put a little bit of oil in a deep, heavy bottomed frying pan and brown the cheese, turning frequently so no sides burn. When it is browned, set aside on a plate.
• Add more oil, if needed, to the pan and throw in the onions.
• Let them fry until golden, then add the garlic and spices.
• Fry some more for a couple minutes, then add the tin of tomatoes and about 1/2 cup of water.
• Let simmer for about five minutes, then put in the fried cheese and peas and simmer covered over a low heat for about 20 minutes.
• Check the consistency and simmer some more if needed to bring it down to a thickness you like.
• Serve with rice and other Indian curries of your choice.

CURRY CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and curry until smooth. Spread in an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Top with chutney; sprinkle with pecans and bacon. Serve with bread or crackers.

MANGO CURRY CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl with an electric mixer, or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese and cheddar cheese until well combined and fluffy. Add the curry powder and mix in well.
• Spoon cheese mixture into a 6-inch springform pan or a similar sized dish or bowl. (*You can use any dish that will make the mixture about 1-inch thick). Alternately, you can shape into a 6-inch disc by hand. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours, until chilled and firm.
• Meanwhile, make the topping by combining the topping ingredients and stirring together the ingredients. (*You can use any or all of the topping ingredients you like or have on hand. If you are skipping some, add a bit more of the ones you are using, until you have a thick topping mixture). You can cover and refrigerate separately until ready to serve or use right away.
• To serve, remove from springform pan, if using. Spoon topping overtop and serve with crackers, apple slices or Naan chips or crisps.

THAI RED CURRY MAC 'N' CHEESE

Steps:

• For the mac 'n' cheese: Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Salt generously, and then add the pasta and cook to box instructions, usually 6 to 7 minutes. Drain.
• In another large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and continue whisking until it deepens in color and releases a light toasted aroma, about 1 minute.
• Whisk in the Thai red curry paste, and when fully combined, pour in the milk and cream (or all milk, if using). Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, and then turn down to a simmer. Simmer until the mixture thickens, whisking occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Off heat, whisk in the cheeses and stir until melted. Add the pasta and toss to combine.
• Turn your broiler on.
• For the crumb topping: Toss the panko with the melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble: Pour the mac 'n' cheese into a broiler-safe casserole dish, sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture, and broil until browned, about 1 minute.

CHIP SHOP CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large saucepan over a medium-low heat and tip in the onions, garlic and ginger and fry for 12-15 mins until soft but not coloured. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, raisins, vinegar and star anise, and fry for 1 min more, then pour in the chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer very gently for 30 mins, stirring so it doesn't catch on the bottom.
• Lift out the star anise, mix the cornflour with 2 tbsp water and stir into the sauce. Simmer for 5 mins, stirring constantly until you have a thickened silky sauce. Pour into a blender and blitz until smooth, or use a hand blender. Squeeze in lemon juice to taste. Use this sauce to make a curry for your Christmas leftovers whether its sprouts, turkey, or simple roast potatoes. If freezing the sauce, leave to cool, pour into a container and freeze, then defrost and reheat when you're ready to eat.

BASIC CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil and margarine in a small skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add onion and saute until very brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (Note: This is an important step; if onion is not cooked well, sauce will taste funny.)
• Add ginger and garlic to onion and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Process onion/ginger/garlic mixture in food processor until smooth. Do not rinse food processor.
• Place onion mixture in a large saucepan. Stir in the cinnamon, black pepper, coriander, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper and cook over low heat until mixture is thick and has the consistency of a paste.
• Puree tomatoes, chile peppers and cilantro in food processor until smooth. Add to onion mixture and stir well over low heat, cooking off moisture from tomatoes and cilantro. Add yogurt a little bit at a time, stirring constantly to avoid curdling.
• Blend the whole mixture in food processor to puree it (for a very smooth sauce). Return to saucepan, add water and increase heat to high; bring sauce to a rolling boil. Cover saucepan and boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer until desired consistency is reached.
• To serve with meat, cook the meat first separately, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes in the sauce before serving over rice or with bread. To serve with vegetables, steam raw veggies first 4 to 5 minutes, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes in the sauce before serving.
