THE BEST CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA
Chicken Tikka Masala is thought to have been created by a Bangladeshi chef in Glasgow in the 1960s. It's a spicy, tomato-based dish seasoned with garlic, ginger, fenugreek and garam masala. In this recipe we used fenugreek leaves for their nutty and slightly minty flavor. If you can't find them, substitute dried mint leaves and a pinch of ground fenugreek. Garam masala is a popular Indian spice blend that usually includes black and white pepper, cloves, cinnamon, mace, cardamom, bay, cumin and coriander. It's pretty easy to find in your local grocery store and most national spice companies.

Steps:
- For the chicken marinade: Whisk together the yogurt, ginger, salt, chili powder, garam masala, pepper, turmeric and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Toss the chicken in the spiced yogurt marinade until evenly coated. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 24. (Overnight works best.)
- For the sauce: Melt the ghee in a large Dutch oven or wide heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions and serrano, season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and beginning to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until very fragrant and the ginger starts to turn golden and sticks to the bottom of the pot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the fenugreek leaves, garam masala, chili powder and paprika and cook, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, breaking them up into pieces with a spoon, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half and the tomatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes.
- Let the hot sauce cool for about 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender filling no more than halfway. (If your blender is small, you may need to work in batches.) Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream and puree until creamy. Pour into a clean pot and bring to a simmer. Season with salt.
- Meanwhile, position a rack directly under the broiler and preheat to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack inside.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the rack. Broil until the chicken starts to brown in spots, 3 to 6 minutes per side (it will not be cooked through). Remove from the broiler. When cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Add the chicken to the simmering sauce, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Top the chicken and sauce with cilantro. Serve with rice and naan.

KASHMIRI CURRY
Looking for a fragrant curry that is rich, smooth and incredibly creamy? Well, you are in the right place. Kashmiri curry is a luxurious mix of all of the above. With tender chunks of stewed meat, it is a real midweek treat. Want the good news? I will teach you how to make an authentic Indian restaurant style Kashmiri lamb curry. It will take you around 15 minutes. Let's go... What is in a Kashmiri? Originating and taking their influence from Kashmir, the most Northern state of the Indian subcontinent, Kashmiri dishes are characterized by their extensive use of mutton and lamb. A Kashmiri curry utilizes large portions of mild spices combined with creamy elements. They also tend to be quite sweet, featuring fruit and added jaggery or sugar. A BIR Kashmiri curry, while not prepared in the traditional style (which is more of a stew), still acknowledges these tastes. Within, you'll usually find some or all of the following elements: - Precooked meat - Traditionally lamb, but chicken can be used too A vegetable element - in the case of this recipe, crunchy red peppers A rich onion BIR gravy - This adds a savoury note and acts as the base of the sauce Sweet elements - Kashmir dishes often include fruit, and this one is no exception. You'll find hints of mango along with the use of ripe bananas to add sweetness. A small amount of chilli - Don't worry, true to the dish, we use Kashmiri chilli, which is mild and more for flavour than heat. Is Kashmir Curry Spicy? Kashmiri curry is not spicy at all. On a scale of 1 - 10, where 1 is really mild, and 10 is scorching hot, a Kashmiri curry will sit at around a 2, or maybe a 3. From the Kashmiri curry recipe below, you'll see that it does include chilli, but only a tiny amount. Aside from the greatly reduced chilli powder, it is also Kashmiri chilli, which isn't hot and is used more for colour and taste. Aside from this addition, Kashmiri curry doesn't contain any other hot elements, so if you, or your dinner guests, are spice averse, it could be a really great choice. What Does Kashmiri Curry Taste Like? Kashmiri curry is a real taste sensation and is all about rich flavours. Here is how the flavour profile is best described: - Relatively Mild - As we saw above, there is a little chilli in Kashmiri curry. Those who are super sensitive to spice might notice it, but you'd definitely say this is a mild one for regular curry fans. Think of it along the lines of a korma, and you are about there. Creamy - The authentic BIR Kashmiri curry recipe does use a little almond flour. This helps to thicken the dish up slightly. We also add coconut milk and butter, giving the Kashmir curry a really silky and creamy taste. Sweet - There is plenty in this Kashmiri recipe that makes it sweet. Almond flour imparts a subtle sweetness. We also add mango chutney during the cooking process to give it a fruity and slightly sour edge. In addition, it also features a chopped ripe banana along with a large spoonful of sugar. Slightly Savoury and Fragrant - There are plenty of fragrant spices and savoury tastes in Kashmiri curry. We use woody spices, like cinnamon, cloves and cardamom to give it a real fragrance. It also features BIR mix powder, and garam masala, adding that all-important Indian taste. Rich - The overall taste profile of Kashmiri curry is one of richness. The sweet and creamy texture can be over facing, so go easy on the side dishes! Does Kashmiri Curry Contain Nuts? Kashmiri curry does contain nuts. You will find that most BIR Kashmiri curry recipes use almond flour to add flavour, sweetness and to make the curry thicker. You will also find that with these styles of dishes, the top is often garnished with flaked almonds. If you want to find out which other curries feature nuts as a standard part of their recipe, I have an excellent guide here. Kashmiri Curry Recipe | Sweet and Fruity in 5 Easy Steps Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Serves: 2 Calories: 710 per serving How to Make Kashmiri Curry | Ingredients Oil Cinnamon stick 1 cardamom pod 1 clove 1 small red pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon BIR mix powder 1 teaspoon turmeric ½ teaspoon garam masala ½ teaspoon Kashmiri chilli powder 1 tablespoon almond flour Precooked lamb 2 cups base gravy (heated) 2 teaspoons lime juice 1 tablespoon mango chutney 1 tablespoon coconut cream 2 teaspoons jaggery or brown sugar ½ ripe banana, chopped. 2 tablespoons of butter or ghee Chopped coriander to garnish Method Heat the oil in a large aluminium or stainless steel pan over high heat. As soon as the oil is up to temperature, add your cinnamon, cardamom pod and clove. Stir to coat in the oil until they begin to smell fragrant. Add the chopped pepper and fry for 30 seconds. Then go in with the mixed powder, turmeric, garam masala and chilli powder. Stir with the oil to make a loose paste. Add the almond flour and a small splash of base gravy and mix until you have a smooth paste. Then, add a cup of base gravy, along with the lime juice and mango chutney. Once bubbling, add your precooked meat and stir to coat. Add a second cup of heated base gravy along with the coconut cream, brown sugar, chopped banana and butter. Simmer over high heat until the sauce is reduced to the desired consistency. Add the butter and give the pan a final stir. Serve in a large bowl with chopped coriander sprinkled over the top. Kashmiri Curry | Tips and Tricks The red pepper is more for texture and to brighten the dish. You could also consider using green or yellow peppers as well as finely chopped onions. If you haven't got Kashmiri chilli powder, you can use normal chilli powder. Remember, it will be more potent, so use half of the amount given above. No lime juice? Don't worry. White wine vinegar or lemon juice will also produce a very similar taste. If you don't have almond powder, then coconut flour will work just as well and give a broadly similar taste. Double cream or even yoghurt will work well if you don't have coconut cream. For a really fancy Kashmiri curry, you can use fresh mango instead of using mango chutney. Oh, and while we are talking fruit, be sure that whatever fruit you use (be it mango or banana) is really ripe. This will ensure they are super sweet. My Kashmiri curry recipe is perfect for using up leftover bananas that are a bit past their best. Normal white sugar will do if you don't have brown sugar or jaggary. Use it in the same quantities as described above. Honey is also a nice addition. Making Kashmiri Curry | Final Thoughts Don't let the long list of ingredients above put you off. Get them all out, prepped and ready to go before you start cooking. Trust me, the end result is well worth it! Cooking Kashmiri curry is no different from any of my other BIR recipes. For a sweet and savoury treat, there is nothing better. Want something a bit hotter with similar tastes? Why not give my chicken Ceylon recipe a go?

GARAM MASALA - AROMATIC KASHMIRI SPICE BLEND FOR SPICY COOKING!
Garam Masala is an aromatic and hot spice mixture that is essential to numerous types of dishes in Indian, Nepalese and Pakistani cooking. The words mean "hot spices" and as well as adding the "heat" to Indian cooking, the spice mix should be subtle and aromatic. It is usually added towards the end of the cooking time, or even as a final garnish, unlike commercial curry powders that need to "cook" off the cornflour and other anti-clogging ingredients. This is my favourite Garam Masala mixture; there is no "standardised" recipe for this spice mixture, but I suspect that every Indian, Nepalese and Pakistani home will have their own "secret" mix! Grind the spices in smallish quantities to preserve the flavour and quality of the mixture, and then store in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight and heat. NB: Black cumin seeds are also called Royal Cumin or Shah Zeera. This spice mix makes a great gift - especially if you tie a recipe card around the neck of the jar with a whole piece of cinnamon!

Steps:
- Bash the nutmeg in a plastic bag with a rolling pin to break it into several smaller pieces!
- Remove the seeds from the Cardamom pods - again, a gentle bash with a rolling pin will suffice, or use a pestle and mortar.
- Place all the spices in a dry-frying pan or skillet and heat over a very low heat, stirring constantly.
- As soon as the aroma from the spices is released, remove the pan from the heat. (This step is essential to release the aromatic oils from the spices.).
- Working with only a small quantity at a time, put the spices in an electric blender or coffee grinder and grind them to a fine powder. (Takes about 30 to 40 seconds per handful of spices).
- Allow to cool. Store the Garam Masala in an air-tight container. As long as the container is tightly closed after each use, it should last for about 2 - 3 months with no adverse affects to the flavour and fragrance.
- Use as directed in recipes that call for garam masala.
