green chillies

Our ultimate Friday night food - just add naans. Make a double batch of the fragrant curry paste and freeze for next time

Yogurt & almond chicken curry

ground almonds

ginger

garlic

single cream

vegetable oil

onion

cloves

cardamom pods

cinnamon

tsp garam masala

skinless, boneless chicken thighs

full-fat natural yogurt

pack coriander

bread

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Whizz the chillies, almonds, ginger, garlic, cream and 300ml water to a paste.

Heat the oil in a large, deep ovenproof casserole and add the onion, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and 2 tsp garam masala. Fry, stirring for 1 min, then add the paste. Bring to a simmer and season with salt. Add the chicken, turning each thigh to coat it, then bring back to a simmer. Blob the yogurt over the top.

Bake in the oven for 40 mins or until the chicken is cooked through (spoon any excess fat from the surface). Sprinkle with the remaining garam masala and the coriander. Serve with naan or rice.

Creamy and healthy - a winning combination for this curry, which can be easily adapted to suit all the family if some want to add meat

Creamy veggie korma

onion, finely chopped

cardamom pods, bashed

tsp each ground cumin and coriander

½ tsp ground turmeric

green chilli, deseeded (if desired) and finely chopped

garlic clove, crushed

ginger,

mixed vegetable,

vegetable stock

frozen peas

yogurt

tbsp ground almonds (optional)

chicken breast per portion

toasted flaked almonds, chopped coriander, basmati rice or naan bread

Heat the oil in a large pan. Cook onion with the dry spices over a low heat for 5-6 mins until the onion is light golden. Add the chilli, garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min, then throw in the mixed vegetables and cook for a further 5 mins.

Divide the mixture appropriately between two pans if serving vegetarians and meat eaters. Chop the chicken into small chunks and stir into one pan. Add the stock, dividing between the pans appropriately, and simmer for 10 mins (if only cooking the veggie version in one pan, use 300ml stock; if dividing between two pans, add 250ml to each). Divide the peas, if necessary, and add, cooking for 3 mins more until the veg are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Remove from the heat and stir through the yogurt and ground almonds, if using. Serve sprinkled with the toasted almonds and coriander, with basmati rice or naan bread on the side.

Two spicy Indian dips in one, perfect for a few poppadums

Mint relish & raita

mint leaves

coriander

salt

tsp caster sugar

lemon juice

x 150 milliliters pots natural yogurt

Put the herbs in a food processor along with the chillies, salt, sugar, lemon, 1 tbsp water and 2 tbsp yogurt. Blend really well to make a green paste. Tip into a bowl.

Spoon off 4 tbsp and mix with the rest of the yogurt to make raita. Cover and chill both overnight.

This recipe is based on an Emirati dish known as Mandi biryani, where the chook is roasted above the rice so the juices drip down into the rice, says Matt.

Karnataka has lots of amazing food, but this curry is one of those dishes that people outside the region hear about. Maybe because India has so few pork curries… or maybe because it is that good, says Anjum.

Learn these simple tips and tricks to store fresh green chilies for months.

How to Store Green Chilies for Months

kg Fresh Green Chilies (or any variety)

Remove stalks from Chilies.

If the flesh underneath the stem looks pale white with no damage then its a healthy fresh Chili. Reserve these!

Discard the rotten and mushy chilies.

Separate the ones with mild damage, bug / insect bite etc

Chop off the damaged area and discard. Use the good portion within next few days.

Take the reserved healthy chilies in a colander and rinse thoroughly to remove any dirst or mud.

Spread them over a clean kitchen towel or paper napkin to air dry.

Wipe out any trace of water before storing.

Bag a small portion of the chilies in an air tight tub or plastic bag along with a paper towel.  This will help to keep them moisture free.

Press to remove any air and seal it. Store in your refrigerator for up to a month.

To keep it longer, freeze them freezer safe tubs or ziploc bags.

Prep Work

You may grind it along with Ginger Garlic Paste using oil to extend life.

You can make a thick paste by blending it with oil and then freezing them in ice trays.  Then remove the cubes and store in freezer friendly tubs or bags and use as needed.

Frozen whole chili tends to turn soft and kind of blends when used in curries and gravies and gives almost the same effect as paste. Chopping , mincing, blending method takes time and you can rather freeze them whole to save time and also its less messy.

Other Methods

Serve this vegetarian dish made with Indian cheese, paneer, as part of a curry night or with rice as a midweek supper

Paneer with broccoli & sesame

sprouting broccoli

asafoetida

tsp cumin seed

sesame seeds

green chilli

paneer cheese,

tbsp grated ginger

½ tsp ground mace

Trim the broccoli and boil or steam for 5-6 mins until tender but firm to the bite. Drain and cool under cold running water. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan, then add the asafoetida, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, chilli, mustard seeds and the curry leaves. Cook for 1 min until fragrant, then add the onion and cook another 2 mins.

Throw in the paneer, ginger and garlic, and season. Cook on a medium heat for 4-5 mins until the paneer turns golden. Add the broccoli and mix through the paneer and spices, then add lemon juice, mace and twist of pepper.

This chicken soup packs a punch, and certainly covers your daily greens. Begin this recipe 3 hours ahead.
