Greg has always been fond of Thai cuisine, but found a real love for it after gigging there, especially for Thai green curry. Now, the base of any good curry is the paste, so it’s worth the effort to hunt out all the ingredients. Just remember, a little goes a long way, so make a big batch and freeze it in portions for future use.

This is a fantastic idea, im heading down to my local Indian supply shop this morning. Cant wait to make this and freeze it to make on the go.. thanks Josh!

Made this after trying your Korma from scratch. My sister only eats Korma and is really fussy needless to say she loved it made with your base gravy even more and ended up taking all the leftovers home. Going to try your other recipies now. thanks Maddie

Love this recipe. Well worth the time it takes to make.

Really easy to make, just roughly chopped everything up and followed the instructions. Made a huge difference to the Indian recipes I've been trying so far so will continue to experiment.

easy to make and freezes well. A nice base for my BIR curries.

Swap your usual Friday night takeaway for this amazing and comforting homemade chicken curry. It’s fresh, fragrant, crammed with flavour, and the charred chicken is so ridiculously tender it falls right off the bone. Everyone needs to try this super-tasty Gurkha curry – trust me, it’s happiness guaranteed and people go mad for it.

Gurkha chicken curry

chicken

potatoes

250 ml fat-free natural yoghurt

VEGAN MAKHANI CURRY SAUCE

long green chilli (green cayenne pepper, sliced)

kasoori methi* (dried fenugreek leaves)

ginger garlic paste

tomato passata

cardamom

sweet paprika

sea salt flakes

rapadura sugar

Place oil in a heavy bottomed small saucepan on medium heat.

Add bay leaves and green chilli. Sauté for a few seconds. Reduce heat to low and add kasoori methi and ginger garlic paste. Sauté for another few seconds until fragrant and starting to turn golden.

Add tomato passata, garam masala, cardamom, paprika, salt and rapadura sugar.

Cook for 8-10 minutes until the sauce has turned a shade darker and oil starts pooling around the edges.

Add coconut milk. Cover and simmer on low for approximately 20 minutes until rich and fragrant. If it starts to thicken a lot, add 1/4 cup water.

The sauce is ready to use at this point but I like to make it smoother by cooling it, removing the bay leaves and blending it briefly in a small food processor. The sauce is ready to be mixed with pre-cooked protein or roast veggies. It can also be packed away in freezer-safe containers or zip lock bags and will keep well in the freezer for up to two months.

A delicious addition to any curry – work quickly, and remove from the pan while still flexible and before they take on too much colour.

Roti jala (lace crêpes)

120 ml light coconut milk

Who doesn’t love a curry? This brilliant curry sauce recipe heroes store-cupboard ingredients you can pick up from your local shop, and can be used in loads of ways. I’ve used chicken here, but you could absolutely use salmon, white fish or prawns – just cook them through in the sauce. Or, you could celebrate veggies – simply roast chunks of squash, sweet potato, cauliflower or aubergine tossed in curry paste, then add to your sauce to serve. Or just serve the sauce as it is with rice or flatbreads – winner! 

Corner-shop curry sauce

mug of basmati rice (300 grams)

jalfrezi curry paste

lettuces

chillies

curry paste

x plum tomatoes
